I was hoping for at least being assembled inn the USA with global components
It still looks nice though. I don't know why they offer a quiet version in 3/8 drive but, not in 1/2 drive

I have been buying a lot of Tekton off Amazon over the last year, excellent quality, nice chrome finish, great deal for the money.

New additions to the growing Nepros collection. T72 in there for size comparison.
I saw those in Tokyo. They were in velvet-lined boxes like fine jewelry. More expensive than Snap On.

Went to a flea market where I'd found some deals on SK and SnapOp a few years ago.
In a table-sized bin of sockets, I found two SKs, also got a small SK wrench. I also got a Napa Evercraft metric flare crowfoot set for $10

Got these for $60 total. Barely used Makita sawzall and a Craftsman pressure washer. The Honda engine on it runs perfectly and looks new, but one of the O-rings in the water pump is leaking. I am not sure it's worth rebuilding the pump. I will probably just remove the engine and put it to use somewhere else or make a generator out of it. Shaft might be too small for lawnmower duty.

New to me tools. Another aircraft mechanic was selling off some wrenches (retirement) and I snagged the flare nut set (MAC Tools) for $50. I asked him if he was willing to trade the angle wrenches (also MAC Tools) for a telescope, he agreed. He threw in the 1/2" drive socket set for free.

Franks sales help soften the blow. Issue is there aren't many high quality QR ratchets and even fewer with handles I like. My Snap-Ons are almost exclusively comfort grip because I find their metal handles are too thin.

I need to get my paws on some Nepros. I picked up a Wera 1/4" metal ratchet last week that's very thin handled too, the ratchet action is good though. If you want good handles, I still have yet to find anything better than the Betas, but the ratchet action isn't as nice.
Snap-On seemingly underpriced their ratchets, and rapes you on the sockets.

You'll like that crowfoot set. I've got the same one.
I don't need it often, but it sure comes in handy.

Grabbed a 2235qtimax on sale at kms tools. Was torn between this and the Mac AWP050. I really liked the balance and feel of the Mac gun, but the ir just seams like a bullet proof gun from all the reviews I have seen online, and the forward/reverse selection as well as the power settings are a lot more user friendly than the Mac gun. We'll see how it does. I have high hopes!
Never been one to like the use of a boot on a gun, but might have to pick one up for this one. The rear composite area of the body seams like it could use a little protection. Anyone use one of these long term with no boot?
Grabbed a magnetic bar for simple storage for my box, and a cheap led voltage display test light for my emergency truck tool box.

Well, it's new to me

Does need some work

Decided to pick up a set of insulated screwdrivers after I tore most of my tape off the Cman screwdriver I've been using.
Also up for the new purchases is some Flexzilla garden hose. After I tossed an old hose with some semi-permanent kinks, I broke out a new hose I bought onteh cheap. What I never paid attention to was the fact that the new hose was only a 25 footer, which left me a few (like 25') feet short while watering my new Blue Spruce trees.

As I said in the other thread, you will like that hose. I think they are the best hoses I have ever used.

Also pick up a UV light for troubleshooting a potential freon leak.

This thread is the best on the site, after all...(and the worst for my wallet)

Williams ratcheting screw driver.
Have you compared that to the Snap On? How does it feel overall? I need a little gift for my cousin and was thinking of something like that.

Not personally but based on feedback from this board it's the same. The mech is smooth on the Williams very impressed vs the Milwaukee ones I have.
I actually got the idea from the thread about the husky ratcheting screwdriver. Someone mentioned as being the same as the s/o so figured I'd ask for one.

Thanks.
I had already bought one by the time you posted this
But it's a gift so I don't feel bad. See above about the whole wallet vs thread concept....

Splurged and bought myself a new pair of saws for my 30th birthday (that was my excuse!). My awesome wife doesn't even question it, she knows I'll use them to renovate and build her things... and end up saving us money in the long run! DWS780 12" sliding miter saw on a DWX726 stand and a DW7491RS table saw. Sorry for the huge pic!
Bahco magnetic nut-holder, 4$.

I hope so! Putting it to use tomorrow finishing up building an 8 stair staircase. Used an old corded Makita most of the day so it'll be a good transition
