I just bought a 1998 Jeep Cherokee that needs an engine. So the first order of business was to purchase tools of course.

 

[MattVette89]

Fox - those tekton stubbies look surprisingly nice...I say that in a good way based on their price point.

And I've heard good things about those anti-vibe hammers.

BTW...I've never trusted left handed people. Something about them just doesn't seem right.

Don't feel bad, my dad was wrong-handed as well

Hey! I reassemble that remark!

 

[MattVette89]

Yesterday & todays deliveries.

Yes I'm left handed

Oh are the instructions written backwards, too?

Hey! I reassemble that remark!

Nuck nuck nuck

Chinese Fluke 12E AvE youtubed about.

I saw the same video, and I am about to pull the trigger on one as well. Actually, probably a 15B+, one step up from the 12E, has a lot more features.

 

[hautpot]

Wow I have never seem a left handed slide Caliper!

Latest ebay acquisitions. Snap On 3/4" drive sliding breaker bar and 3" extension. The sliding breaking bar is mint, and the extension has only storage wear. Snap On and Mac Screwdrivers. The wood handle Phillips is my favorite, near mint except for some small owner's grind marks. Snap On 17mm and 19mm (good sizes!) Snappy OEXM combinations, mint except for some grind marks on the handles.

SNAP ON OWNERS: DON'T GRIND YOUR TOOLS! If they get stolen, you're not getting them back anyway.

Also, Craftsman China 1/2 breaker bar, new. Despite the overseas origin, looks like a very usable tool.

What I paid for the lot would only pay new for the two OEXM. The sliding 3/4" breaker and extension are close to $300 list price.

I got all my early Prime day swag:

OEMTOOLS 25886 6-24V Circuit Tester
View media item 61912View media item 61906Feels really solid and nice. Very similar to the old clear Craftsman screwdrivers. Better than I was expecting actually. Also came with an extra bulb.

Bosch GLM 15 Compact Laser Measure, 50-Feet
View media item 61911Package was damaged but the tool itself is perfect.
View media item 61907Very gadgety but fun. I was lasering all over the house today.

Capri Tools 20005 Digital Angle Gauge
View media item 61913Seems to work but it is verrrrrrrrry slow. Move it 90 degrees and it probably takes 5-10 seconds to catch up. Also flashes Erro a lot showing it doesn't know what the hell is going on. Does do absolute angle though in addition to zeroing off a known surface.

Astro 78613 One-Person Brake Bleeding Wrench Kit with Check Valve
View media item 61908Case feels awesome on this unlike the other Astro kit I have (Disc/Drum Brake Kit case is attrocious).
View media item 61909Obviously was never used. I was a little worried it'd be all grodelated with dirty brake fluid in it. I only wish I had bought it sooner as I was bleeding brakes last week. Still I'm glad this showed up in AWD so I could get a prime day discount on it.

Finally... the big loser.

Sunex 9935M Metric Half Moon Wrench Set, 5-Piece
View media item 61910The problem should be initially obvious... My 5-piece set is a 4-piece. I've gotta contact Amazon tomorrow and see what they want to do about it. I guess they call can't be winners though.

 

[Jarhead0408]

I bought the same Sunex half moon set a while back. It was also missing the smallest wrench. They shipped out a replacement though.

 

[ihateminimumwage]

A couple of new favorites, but glad I bought them used. 1/4" needs a kit (sockets just fall off), but hopefully I'll catch the truck on Thurs and buy one from him.

Filled out the last pieces of my Williams/Snap-on 1/4" set in a MAC box. Great little set now for grabbing and going.

 

[JAKE-THE-TOOL-MAN]

Fox - I think I need a left handed caliper now, I didn't even know they made them!

ihateminimumwage - That is a sweet little 1/4 kit you put together

 

[1foxracing]

Fox - those tekton stubbies look surprisingly nice...I say that in a good way based on their price point.

And I've heard good things about those anti-vibe hammers.

I lke that Tekton was doing give a ways here so I gave them a little business myself. I really wanted a 24oz but Stanley doesn't offer them in the Proto or Stanley versions.

I saw the same video, and I am about to pull the trigger on one as well. Actually, probably a 15B+, one step up from the 12E, has a lot more features.

Today I ordered a 17B+ myself, cant have enough DVOM's

Wow I have never seem a left handed slide Caliper!

I wish Mitutoyo made a left handed set but I'll settle for these. Being left handed can be a real PITA sometimes.

Where did you get the Kowa tools from? Webike?
Yes Webike, The dollar was strong against the Yen recently and the Honda wrenches were $36 when I bought them, today they are $50. Webike has very fast shipping, I received my order 4 days after placing it.

That's the best way to buy them! But I hope your driver isn't charging you for a kit.

No clue. I've only bought one set of pliers from the guy in the near two years I've been in this shop, and usually miss his truck when it stops next door every week. I'm in an area where I hear jokes that, "Someone has to die for a job to open up/tool to be sold."

That said, the eBay seller refunded me the $10 for a kit, and I'd have no problem throwing it to the local driver since I didn't buy the ratchet from him, and I'm not the original owner.

These aren't bad meters but there are others that offer similar or better value. Especially considering these are manufactured by Uni-T for Fluke , not made by Fluke themselves (though the design is Flukes). Below $100, the Fluke 101-107 range still offer good value. Above $100 though, some really good meters like the Brymen BM257S and new BM235 compete really nicely, with higher resolution, TrueRMS and other nice features.

Can someone refresh my memory on what brand those connector pliers were? I went back a few pages but I didn't see them.

eBay has a $20 off $100 automotive tools coupon so I'm trying to load my cart up.

 

[hautpot]

Connector pliers for what???? Hmmm I might want some!

Merry HS175?

 

[MattVette89]

Merry HS175?

Those are probably the ones, thanks. Was there another brand, too? I seem to recall seeing them posted more than once. I thought in the sub $30 range but I could be wrong (ask my wife, I usually am)

 

[MattVette89]

Someone posted a pic a few weeks ago....good for disconnecting automotive connectors. But you are banned from buying based on your last "haul" posting...

 

[Strouty]

Don't worry Haulpot, zoro has a 25% off sale going on, so you can use them instead of amazon. Of course they don't sell those pliers, but I am sure you can find something that is worth buying, I know I will.

 

[gonmad54]

Got a visit from the SO truck today. I'm excited to try out the FF80a. That is my first flex head ratchet.

What's the minimum though? Like 3000$?

 

[Burgerkong]

Score from Amazon Prime day, talk about fast shipping - UPS picked it up from BC (equivalent to Cali) and brought it all the way to New York in under a day, 14 hours to be exact. This was standard free 2 day shipping as well, no qualms from me!

Ordered a 53 piece Irwin Hanson tap and die set for $84 Loonies with the 25% off warehouse deals promo. All the taps/dies were made in the USA still, no COO on the smallest taps presumably because there wasn't enough room. Tap/die handles look imported - all in all, not bad.

Condition was listed as:

Condition: Used - Good
Minor cosmetic damage on the front of the item. Minor cosmetic damage to the bottom of the item. Minor cosmetic damage to the sides of the item.

Translated to layman's terms, the corners of the blow-molded case were caved in, the tools were pristine otherwise.

Drank a cup of the Milwaukee kool-aid. All my cordless stuff is Hitachi, but decided I wanted a power ratchet instead of trying to jam my Hitachi impact driver into tight spots. Once I had the 1/4" in my cart, it was silly not to buy the 3/8" and I had been thinking about a smaller/lighter screwdriver instead of an impact for simple stuff so I also ordered the M12 Fuel 1/4" hex screwdriver. I really like the feel of all three.

 

[Silver_11]

Snap on came by today, picked up a TLLF72. Really happy with it, no complaints.

 

[Strouty]

Minimum of $150 use code SIZZLE good through the 14th.

 

[MattVette89]

Oh yeah, KTC has them with interchangable tips.

But christmas is right around the corner MattVette89! Must resist not clicking the check out button on my amazon cart.

Only 164 days to go!

Unfortunately my eBay coupon and eBay bucks expire before then. With those two I saved $33 total. Ordered a Power Probe III and a set of Mayhew o-ring removal spoon picks. I've been wanting each of those for a while. Pics once they arrive.

Is that the new extra long one? What is the overall length?

Thats only 42 Toonies!

All joking aside that's a killer deal.

 

[Silver_11]

Yep, it's a little over ten inches end to end.

Very nice indeed. Congratulations on a fine purchase. I ordered the CPS MV7SA6Q High Vacuum Vortech series manifold set with manual couplers last week. I haven't received it yet though. I've seen very few bad reviews of CPS products. Mostly user error. They are made in the USA and are not expensive. My FJC set is 11 years old now and still working but it is time to replace hoses. It wasn't much more to just replace the whole manifold. I think you'll really like your Black Max set. My other manifold is Yellow Jacket (r-12, r-22)which I think are some of the best made. They wanted $350 for the Yellow Jacket r-134a set with 72" hoses and manual couplers. Too rich for my pocket. Let us know how your set works out for you.

Arrived yesterday! Looks to be of great quality. Guess time will tell.

 

[90zcar]

Just got a brand new 24oz snap on dead blow ball peen. Very nice but I think it's a dead zone between my everyday use 16oz one and my 3lb estwing
We'll see....or I'll end up selling it

I picked up the 1/4 dr....absolutely love it.I bought it for dash work,but I have used it everywhere. I have a cp 3/8 air ratchet,so I didn't think I needed the 3/8
well satisfied...btw...I'm a DeWalt "*****"... my first milwaukee.

 

[OCD]

Picked up a couple bit sets the other day,

Also ordered the 14.4v, 3/8" & 1/4" Drive MicroLithium Cordless Impact Wrenches in Green!! Just ordered the bodies, already have three chargers and six batteries...

 

[jumbojak]

I also grabbed the Gearwrench breaker bar BOGO from Advance Auto, and actually had a pleasant experience with a knowledgable employee for once!

Thanks for posting this! I picked up those myself and had a somewhat knowledgeable employee too. Must be a storm brewing, the last time I went into Advance I couldn't get the concept of a bolt and a but across to the girl behind the counter...

36" snappy pry bar I got not long ago and a Lincoln welding helmet that was in sale for half price last week I picked up.
