Is this what you need to open up Craftsman and Armstrong ratchets?

Here are the new tool arrivals from the last couple weeks:
Mac Tools Oxygen Sensor Wrench (Made in Taiwan)
This Mac 22mm oxygen sensor socket (about $45) is the newest version of the older SP Tools model# 88750 due to using spline drive technology on the 6 point top and 12 point bottom sides: SP Tools.
Kromhard Twist Drill Company, Akron, OH
This is a local industrial tool supply company. Below, I purchased a number of new, old stock tools at good to great prices.
Bondhus Ball-End Torx Hex Key Wrenches (Made in the U.S.)
Each one was priced between $3 to $5 for the sizes T-9 thru T-55. There were enough in stock to piece together a few more complete sets. With a little haggling, the owner charged me for the complete set $40.
Lisle Aluminum Vise Jaw Pads (Made in the U.S.)
I own the Craftsman red rubber jaw pad set (with the magnets on the back). I always wanted jaw pads a little more resistant to heat and pressure. These fit the bill. However, the magnetic strip used by Lisle is weak. I modified the underside of each jaw pad by installing 3 rare magnets and adhering them with this JB Weld plastic epoxy: LINK. This JB Weld epoxy can be purchased at Ace Hardware.
Miscellaneous Items
Lakeshore Tool & Equipment, Lorain, OH
Mayhew Metric Twisted Hex Key Set (Model# 45053); (Made in Taiwan)
This local industrial tool supply store sold me this set for $21.95. It was cheaper than Amazon: LINK. One of the Amazon reviewers claimed that the smaller Mayhew metric hex sizes (ex: 2, 3mm) have better bend/break resistance than the higher quality hex key brands. I hope to test this out real soon!
Lowe's
LENOX 13-Piece Bi-Metal Hole Saw Kit (Model# 1786647); (Made in the U.S. with Global Components)
This hole saw kit (item# 348755) is on sale (labeled a "special value" in the sales ad) until 7/6/16 for $69.98. I ordered it online and used the $10 off $50 promotion code generated by the website "Renovopower": LINK. The code generated worked the first time. I paid for the set (with tax) $63.88. This is a huge savings over Amazon: LINK.
Olfa Art Knife (Model# AK-1); (Made in Japan)
I was surprised to see several Olfa knive models at Lowe's. I've seen Home Depot clearance Olfa last year. I used this knife to remove the thin rubber that was covering the 2 magnets on the back of a Craftsman rubber vise pad. It removed the rubber very easily and now the vise pad adheres slightly better to the jaw surface. One thing I noticed is that the collar needs to be tightened very well or the knife blade doesn't stay perpendicular to the work piece during use.

Order from HJE and toolsdelivered.com. A lot of small odds and ends that I would normally just use the company provided tools, but I prefer having my own. The main item I wanted is the Williams 12pt socket set, very impressed with them now that I've compared them side by side to others at work.
The bahco I bought were equally impressive, especially for the price.

ENJOYI just got these. Unfortunately it didn't work for what I needed... I will need help from you guys getting the right tool. But great quality and I will keep it. Also the grease coupler is awesome.
Those grease couplers are awesome

Estwing ball peins...for free! I ordered a 5 piece set. 2 were back ordered so they sent the 3 they had. They packaged them so poorly that they got pretty scratched up in transit bouncing off eachother. I asked if I could send them back for an exchange, and they just refunded my order, told me to keep the 3 for my inconvenience, and that was that. The 2 I never got were the 8 and 12 oz. I probably don't need them anyways...

I know that's an issue! I just put all 3 chargers inside the power tool drawer and don't look at them since they aren't the part that actually gets used to do the work. ...I am kinda miffed that the reciprocating saw is supposedly only available in red.....Yep at one point they didn't even have the green bag.
I needed the VT30 to save $70 at the dealership every six months when I swap out my winter/summer rims on my car. With the tool it took all of five minutes to reprogram the car with the new IDs.
The Gearwrench Kits were $105 total and were needed to replace crapola roadside socket sets I have in my cars.

Where'd you snag the sets for 105 total?

No grip lines on the Knipex.
They bounced down to $5.?? on Amazon, so cheaper than HF.
Yes that's why I got them.

Just picked this changer up for my shop
It was part of a Gearwrench Promo Set (KDT-80550F) from Coastal Tool Supply where you bought the 3/8 set and got the 1/4 set for free.
I have 84T ratchets from Armstrong and Gearwrench already so I would not have gone for the 120XP but it was free and is actually quite nice.
The 120XP ratchet is now an oddball in my group. I personally like my 84/88T ratchets a lot and think 120T is a bit of overkill and a marketing gimmick.

i want to buy from them but i read all the bad things then once in a blue moon you see one good thing like above. not sure what to do lol

I should add that they screwed up my order and "forgot" to send half of the order that the socket sets were a part of. I emailed them and magically I had another tracking number for the missing tools.
I have only ordered from them twice. The first order was quick and painless but the way they handled the second order seemed shady to me. They have so many store fronts too (NXT, Etoolpros, Coastal Tool Supply, Etc) that you have to wonder why?
I got my orders both times but my sample size is way too small to recommend them with certainty. Maybe I am just spoiled from buying stuff on Amazon with no hassles...

I had $12.00 in free surprise points that were going to expire yesterday so I picked this up last night:
The register wasn't accepting my points even though it showed them as valid
I ended up buying it on my phone and carrying it up to the register. The whole process was annoying, but it ended up costing me $5.07 out the door so I can't complain too much.
I hope this will be nicer than using a blanket or towel. I've never had a fender cover before.
