Yes, they are tamperproof Torx and they are 5/16" shank. TOPTUL doesn't state whether they are to be used with an impact driver or not but I have used them for that purpose and they work fine in that regard. I do have the adapters available but they are so cheap it's not worth it for me to put them up on EBay. I guess one of the advantages of being local is that you can walk through my garage and just pick stuff up. It's a lot easier for me too rather than going through the effort needed to ship stuff.

I've got one customer from Canada that has a girlfriend that lives here in the Phoenix area. Every time he comes down to see her he leaves with full suitcases if you get my drift. The dude flat out cleans me out. I told him that I've got a new shipment from TOPTUL coming in about a month and he's already planning his trip.

Astro Pneumatic Drum Brake tool kit. Ordered from Tooltopia on Thursday, received it on Saturday! Very impressive delivery speed. That was my first purchase from them. Here's some crappy cell phone pics, lol:

There are two receivers in his photo, the one on the left is of an AK.

My bad, never dealt with AKs, didnt recognize it. Thats pretty cool, never seen one built before.

Here was my first order with kc tool.

 

[K-Dog]

I'm really curious what it actually looks like. Any pics of it out of the box?

I used it for the first time last night.
Going to take a little getting used to. The "ultrasonic" part of it is a bit unnerving. It's not like a vibrating toothbrush. This is a bit more intense.

5 inch, made in Germany, Peddinghaus vise, Ridgid rebrand.

This vise is so nice, the pics don't do it justice. I'm planning on buying one too. I was using one the other day at BAE. Its top quality and lifetime guarantee.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

we have those at work, very well made. Planing to buy one for home too. I don't know if I should buy it on line or local retailer (if I can find one).

Looks like a nice vice, what kind of money do they go for? Did you buy it online, if so, where...?

I am telling you, they should market feminine tools, this would be a big hit with the ladies. It all ready has the settings right, super and massage sounds like it would be a real crowd pleaser.

Walking through home depot I noticed this labeled "special buy $129". I already have the 20 volt brushless impact and a 20 volt hammer drill, and home depot sells 20 volt batteries for $99 each and the chargers for $110, I pretty much figured I'd be stupid not to buy this even just as extra batteries and charger. I figure I'll bring this one to work since I don't need a hammer drill there, and leave my hammer drill at home.

The 5 inch vise typically goes for 350. The 4 1/2 inch is around 250 and the 6 inch is around 450.

Amazon and Zoro tools both sell them. Not sure what other online retailers do too.

What is the large set with the tray? Looks like a lot of little drivers.

I would Love to get a set of the Facom pipe wrenches but they are so expensive and I am not sure if I will use them that much. However, since I have seen them I want them but can't afford them. Oh Well I will just have to save up.

I stumbled upon this nifty little unit from an aviation mfg. that is closing. Excelta flush cut pliers, 7244E, made in USA and it was free. Will be keeping my eyes peeled for more gems like this.

I don't do any precision electrical work and I've used my Hakko's to cut cable ties. This new plier is by far the single most expensive hand tool I own. Gotta love free.......

Flea market finds from today... Drywall compound masher, Stanley picture frame miter box, and Superior flange wrench...

Does a box count?

Is that an EPIQ 60 or 68? I'm guessing a 68. I'm returning a Classic 96 and ordering a custom EPIQ 68 in Sapphire Blue with titanium trim through my dealer tomorrow. I'm just torn over the drawer configuration...don't know if I want the 13 or 10 drawer box. I'm thinking the KETN682N because I'm liking that third 62" wide drawer option. On the other hand, I'm also considering a Masters KRL1073...I'm going to miss that third bay.

 

[BleedingBlue]

Not sure if this counts, but im excited to start a new hobby! Got it at a good discount off Craigslist

 

[FOCUS.FREAK]

Found it on the corner. Guy was throwing it out. Said it has pump problems. Purchased a wand and tried it out. Works great! So far have like 60 bucks in it!

I got the 2 drawer and I'm happy I did. The thin drawer below the full length drawer is my most useless drawer. I would bang my head against the wall if that took up my whole box. Nothing fits in the damn drawer

I have a brake tool set, 5.4 spark plug extractor, old Sept belt tool, rethread set with the top ripped off, and a compression gauge in it. All my other drawers are packed lol

Flea market. Like I needed more wrenches, but for 32 bucks (30 saltus and 2 for the big combo) I'm not going to complain. The SKs and Armstrong will go in my tool box and those Taiwan ones will go in the tool bag I keep in the trunk.

That's a 68. The three wide drawers are the way to go IMO. I use the top for sockets, the second for wrenches, and the third has a mix of stuff in it. I'll try to grab some pics at work tomorrow.

The Milwaukee ratcheting screwdriver holds 6 bits in the handle. Just bringing it up for you to consider since I know space is at a premium on bikes. I believe they offer the storage handle in a non ratcheting version as well. I have one and while I wouldn't say it's a premium tool, I do think it's a good tool for the money. This is it:

Thanks for the suggestion (I'm always open to ideas). I only need a #2 Phillips and an average size flat blade. I wanted the demo drivers so they would also double as pry bars in case something goes bad out on the trail or in the middle on nowhere in Mexico. I'm trying to make a bullet proof kit where I don't have to worry about any tools breaking. SnapOn 1/4 breaker bar and Williams sockets and wrenches are on the way. I'll post pictures when they show up.

Allen wrenches from amazon, SK 1/2" Impact universal from Amazon warehouse, and bike tools from a local store

Here's how I setup my top three drawers. It works for me.

Nice socket layout. I've got about as much stuffed into the upper box of a craftsman 26", and it's five drawers of FULL.

We're just going to finally key all my boxes with the same key so I told him not to bother putting a lock in until we have them.

Those drawers are super wide. Nice setup man. Can't wait to get mine.

Man I want that third wide drawer. And green trim lol. There's no green for my locker yet though....
