Not something I mean to keep (vendor sent the wrong item), but if anyone is still interested in purchasing Armstrong Maxx Flex ratchets, you might want to take a look at the link below, as supplies are drying up. :shocking: Apparently Apex is no longer carrying the Maxx Flex ratchets, or are simply out of stock (unclear if it's a supply shortage or replacement products are in the works). :dunno:

Relevant post in the Zoro thread (here). More information if you go back a page, and read to the most recent post.

Made in Germany, missing the pieces to hold the grinding wheel though. I'll have to see if the Milwaukee grinder pieces will work because the Bosch pieces are kind of pricey.

Wtf are you gonna do with a stubby screwdriver with a striking end? Especially a Kobalt branded tool? I don't even own a screwdriver with a striking end... That's why they make pry bars

Striking screwdrivers have their place, sometimes it is the difference between striping a screw and removing one.

That being said, that particular person may need a youtube tutorial to understand how they are supposed to work, at a minimum I can see a new thread being started so that why can make sure they are using them properly.

I received this yesterday. An Ebay "buy it now" that was too good to pass up. It's a Matco branded BR5. 1/4" ratchet with a 3/8" head. I couldn't find any info online. A friend on here was kind enough to point out it looked like a Wright made piece, and my Google-Fu turned it up as a Wright 3430. About 4 3/4" long.

It was dry as a bone when I got it and it still had a nice action. It is now lubed up and ready to go. Feels very similar to my SKs, which makes sense since the mechanisms are very similar. Overall I like it a lot so far.

It's nice when you are creating an order on Amazon and notice the impact wrench you've wanted is at a lower price. I totally bought it. The Proto J150WP. Unless they had a price error I bough it for 202. Normally 275. Wooooooo!

How'd you get it? I asked my driver today. He said the only way he could get it was order it with the big set of screwdrivers, and was not interested at all in looking into it any further.

I couldn't help myself, ordered it online.

It's been a fun week.

Power Probe 3. I have been wanting one for years but never could afford it. Found them pretty cheap at Tyler Tool. Arrived at my door before the shipping confirmation.

The rest of these were ordered from Zoro during their 30% off sale the other day.

A set of much needed trim tools
