New tools to fill my tool box... I think I might need another toolbox.

I thought about listing them all out, but there are quite a few.


That is a very nice assortment of new tools there. I have done business with my Mac guy for quite a few years now. I've gotten to the point that I just watch for the new monthly flyer to be posted on their website each month and then I just call him with any deals I'm interested in and he has it for me on his truck the next time he stops by. Their monthly flyer has the biggest deals of the BIG 3 IMO.

£6.97 from Costco, not sure how much use they'll be, but needed a torch while out and about

Been treating myself to some nice tools that I've wanted for years latey. Now I'm that I'm semi retired from the auto trade....well...it's a good time I think to enjoy myself a little.
Some Ko-Ken "nut grip sockets" 3/8" drive, metric (for working on the Japanese Cars I like, Datsun's etc. Beautiful sockets 8,10,12,13,14,17 and 19. They work perfectly.
Stahlwille 3/8" 80 tooth lock on ratchet....amazing thing..again: beautifully made and designed.
And an 11 piece Stahlwille metric combination spanner set. The longer type (Open Box 14) 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,19,22. to compliment my Imperial Open Box 13 set which I've had for about 20 years and loved.
I'm using the Ernst Made in the US spanner(or should I say "wrench" >_<) racks for these and about another hundred or so spanners I own and I must say I wish I had bought some 20 years ago they really help the organisation and ease of use of my tool boxes. They're robust.

Pulled a few more things out of the trash today. Also got a few spools of wire, a 100' extension cord and a bunch of miscellaneous electrical connectors and hardware.

New Proto tools.
An old 2in vise.
Two different sized miner bits. Going to use them as punches, they should be indestructible.

It's a hand cart not a flank drive plus wrench or something proprietary to Snap on :wtf:

Or did you mean Harbor Freight should sue Snap on for selling their cart at a ridiculous mark-up :lol: :beer:

Quip due to the floor jack lawsuit.

Just bought a couple of ball peen hammers. I never have liked the plastic covered handles on some hammers, but found these hammers with handles that I really like.

Those look nice. They kind of look like the Wilton bash hammers. I've almost overed those many times

Grabbed a couple of spark plug sockets from Mac, time to replace my tired mastercraft ones. Little bit of lube on the inside to reduce the grip of the rubber inserts, and they are good to go.

While I was on the truck, I rummaged though the used box. Found a Mac caliper wind back kit and a Mac Expert 3/8" shallow swivel impact set. The wind back set is way nicer and more comprehensive than our work one, and for $60 I am happy.

The sockets, I'll see about. I know they are not by any means high end, they are identical to the ones napa sells. But they are life time warranty, so that is nice. And I only paid 60, so I'm ok with that.

Picked up a set of HF jack stand for the new enclosed trailer. I also grabbed some more 1" chip brushes as I was getting low. I had a coupon for a magnetic bit holder as I have found are a pretty good deal for free. 18" Cman pipe wrench from the Hot Deals section. I also grabbed new handle for the shovel head I found in the road yesterday.

I just received my latest eBay score,a 12pc Dayton branded metric wrench set 8-19mm.From what I have learned from you fine folks,these were obviously made by Thorsen.The wrenches are in good shape overall,with a little bit of pitting on the chrome one a few of the wrenches,but nothing serious.I bought these to put in my road kit.
