Got the Makita 12v Max jigsaw, forgot to take the pics before playing with it so it got a bit dirty. :dunno:

Picked this up at a yard sale today for $15. Anyone know what years these were made? Don't need a creeper but for the condition and price it had to come home with me.

That looks exactly like the Snap On creeper I bought in 1985 and still have/use today.

Picked up this Milwaukee 4" hole saw for working onthe trailer project. I will use it later on for other future projects which I'm going to dread. You'll also notice the new garage art in the background.

A couple weeks ago I was chatting on our new Snap On guys truck about some of the stuff I had seen that was at convention. The corporate guy riding with him was interested how I knew some of the things I did. I chose to leave GJ out of it and just told him I "knew a guy". Anyway fast forward to yesterday and my new driver says I have the stuff you ordered (curious since I didn't order anything). Apparently the corporate guy thought he would surprise me and had ordered me this FHKFD80A ratchet in my favorite color. Of course I had to buy it.

What I'm toiling over though is he also ordered me a SDDX70APB which is the 7pc. hard handled screwdriver set in Pearl Blue. I already own and use them in orange and had told him I would probably be interested in a Pearl Blue set to just tuck away as a collectors item. Now I'm not sure I want to sit on it @ $179 plus tax. He said he'd hold it for me until next week so I could think about it.

New arrival from eBay:

393a9100c77829326f426607937a12cf.jpg

Seems to be virtually unused. No wheels, but I did get both an inside and an outside spindle, full set of pulleys, two belts, and a diamond wheel dresser.

I grew tired of inaccurate import junk. 100% Made in USA. Cheap? No. Nice? Definitely.

Link? The ones on Amazon don't seem to show where they're manufactured, not sure if they're the same thing.

I searched for these for months. Finally I contacted the manufacturer, and they told me they are only available in ONE place, https://www.jazebra.com/collections/made-in-usa

This is the only 100% Made in USA gauge they have. They have an "Assembled in USA" gauge that is about half the cost of this one. Accu-gage told me the parts in that one come from the USA, Poland, and Switzerland.

I informed the manufacturer how difficult they were to find, and they are working on that. As far as the site I linked to above, I placed my order at 1:30pm. They shipped same day.

There are three different fittings. Mine is the angled swivel.

My Yost 460 6" vise and my Tekton soft face mallet with interchangeable faces came in today.



Gotta do some reinforcement to the workbench on the underside before I mount the vise though. It's just plywood.

Very interesting, thanks for the info! Damn, they are rather pricey, I would probably be fine with the assembled in USA one.

Where did you find it for $20?

About a week ago I got a partial S-K short DBE offset wrench set that was missing three pieces. I've already found one on eBay, the 13-14. Still on the hunt for the missing two, but that's what I enjoy doing.

Stopped in at Sears on the way home today. The Cobras where supposed to be 21.99 but rang out for 25.99. Didn't catch it until I got home, not worth the hassle for $4.

Did you see the $21.99 on the rack, or on a sales sheet/online? Our Sears won't look up a sales or online price. Once you bring it to their attention though they'll honor it.
