Picked these up on Craigslist this weekend for $10. Supposedly brand new, were still in the stapled package and the cables still had the twist tie

Won these SO stubby's on eBay for $60! Standard stubby's in good shape with not initials or markings on them!

If anyone has any info on them such as build date, etc I would appreciate it.




With their normal size counterparts

I was so impressed with the Estwing E20S leather handled rip hammer I bought not long ago, I decided to give Estwing the nod when I needed to buy another drilling hammer. I picked up this B3-3LB at Home Depot for $25. It will be used for demolition.

Some eBay Snap-on screw drivers (really like the pocket driver, reversible bit) and a Channellock oil filter wrench.

Like-new fender covers were free from a buddy at work, Trusty Cook stubbies, and locknut pliers on sale from HD

Added a few dead blows, impact bits, pry bars and an inflator to the collection lately

I see in your last picture you have the Gray Pneumatic air hammer bits, how do you like them? I've been eyeing up that set on amazon for a while but don't want to spend the $100ish if they won't hold up...

After looking it up, Williams site says they are COO Taiwan made. The Protos are COO USA. I think I'll stick with Proto since they are manufacturing them here.

This is my clever signature.

Mine is old, could be sworn it said USA on it. I have both, use both. The Williams was in my portable bag for an amazing feat of pulling an oxygen sensor on the side of the road that had not been out on a rust belt vehicle with no room. I said no way is this going to work. Cat was plugged, trying to get the truck home, didn't have a wrench big enough, said I'll try the adjustable and it actually broke it loose. Its become my favorite since then. The blazer my buddy bought for $200, not so much. Lol.

After doing some digging there are both USA and Taiwan Williams Adjustables. I picked up a 6" and an 8" of the USA wrenches. I'll post pics when they arrive.

This is my clever signature.

Someone posted a pic of a new USA Williams adjustable recently, and I was disappointed to learn they are WF sourced, they no longer make their own Superjustables.

I like the older USA Williams that have the top of the keyway for the dynamic jaw squared off, made them easy to spot, also some of the better adjustables imo

 

[davethorik]

Forgot, more Estwing goodness today. Picked up this ProClaw molding bar. Coo is Japan, seems well made and tough.

Crescent X2 double joint pliers, harbor freight drawer organizers and the free flashlight!

Went and got the new HF Pittsburgh Pro breaker bar to see how it is compared to the old HF one and also my SK XXL. So far feels pretty nice. We'll see how flexy it is though in time.

Also got a long GearWrench 84T ratchet. It's my first GW ratchet and hopefully I can use this instead of abusing the doodle out of a flex head on a really stuck bolt too close to the ground for a breaker bar.

 

[kunkernator]

A lot done today. Ive been planning on getting a manly welder (upgrade from my 115v 90amp HF flux core). So i got my 50 amp 6-50R outlets wired with some 8 ga.



No sooner did i flip the breaker, then this came up on Craigslist:



Like new with a small scratch on it. $100. Drove an hour to grab it, nice old man thru a good 15 lbs of rod in. He apparently upgraded.



Had no spare scrap steel, but a crapton of nuts and bolts.... So....



Works for me! I still want a 230v mig, but for now this will do. Going to grab some 8-3 SOOW wire on monday and make me a good 20ft extension cord.

Couple more to finish off a heavy week of tool purchases.

 

[vertguy]

I had several recent orders pile up last week while I was out town and my wife made a comment Thurs night when I called her indicating our home office looked like Christmas for me. This haul included a 7 inch Weiler wire wheel, Brinks & Cotton c-clamps, 2in clean up pads for the die grinder, box of purple 3m pad sheets and a couple dust bags for the bench grinders.

 

[Backpack Hunter]

Whoa. Where did you get that deal from?

That's funny, I've been eyeballing the identical Milwaukee set. It's on sale at HD for $169. Let me know how you like it

 

[davethorik]

Also, forgot I picked these up today. I've been very happy with the Klein tools I've purchased, which until recently was a brand I had no experience with. Their pliers in particular seem like a step up from Channellock.

You will like them. Klein makes some of the best long nose pliers out there. Equally as good as Snap On. They have the best grip

Went to a private facebook tool sale and got everything for 150$ all s-o

Been eyeing a set of those as well, to replace my CL's that are about wore out. The CL's are good pliers but I use them often enough to step up to the Klein's.

Wonder how long that sale is going to be going on. I need a new cordless drill. Not sure if I really need an impact driver. Hmm

Do you have an impact now? If not, once you use it you'll never know how you got along without it.

Not a little electric one. I got a 1/2 IR titanium air impact but that's a different beast lol

Picked up this KRA2422 a week and a half ago, it was used for 4 months and was a good deal as far as I'm concerned. Going to plasti dip the handles and top black and take it to work next time I'm working at our shop (I mainly work field service out of town but do work at our shop here and there during some of my runs off).

That was part of the reason I bought them, I like how the jaws have different knurling so they grab.

I already own a pair of D2000-7CST Ironworker's pliers and they are great. I've cut a lot of nails and the cutting edges are holding up great.
