Never saw a kit with the German made Craftsman Pro screwdriver so I bought it. $10 at the local pawn shop, looks like it's never been used.

 

[rice rocket]

Neat, I wonder who makes that.

 

[TheEuronater]

Neat, I wonder who makes that.

HJE says Schroder meakes it and I found one that is similar by them http://chadstoolbox.com/rs11544-schroder-6pc-screwdriver-set/ so that would make sense. I knew the driver itself was only worth $13 on eBay but I have never seen a full kit like this. Cant find it by searching the number either

This stuff came in the mail on Saturday. Can't wait to try the SK Drum Brake C-clip pliers. Snap-on didn't make any and SK was the only US ones I could find.

I just picked up Snap-on's RTD48 Rethreading Kit and CJ2001P Bolt Grip Puller Set. Looking to get the tap and die set and extractor set next.

2 great sets Taps and dies and extractors are nice for the warranty. I'd bought rex25, TD-2425, TDM117A. I'd ultimately like to by both larger tap and dies set. which will cover just about everything. I think you can get pipe plug and LH Bits and twist extractors from Irwin or other brand on amazon for cheap... and for the amount I use them I couldnt justify snappys prices...

I prefer my Ideal T-Strippers for wire stripping.

For automotive and electronics, so do I, but for Romex I don't think anything beats the stripper jaw.

Got a few deals on amazon. Both were at a MAJOR discount from normal pricing. Both state they are Made in USA.

I got sick of my old princess auto pancake compressor that was super loud and spun in circles as it ran, so I picked up this combo kit to finish all the trim work I started in the house.

Here are some tools I picked up during the last week:

Local industrial tool supply:

Lisle Model #14700 Low Profile Oil Filter Socket (Made in China)

This particular socket will remove the cartridge style oil filters from Ecotec engines out of Saturn Ions 2003-2007 and Chevy Cruzes 2011-2015. Please check out this Amazon link for other car makes and models this oil filter socket is compatible: LINK.









Proto 21mm, 12pt, Deep Socket (Made in the U.S.)







Channellock 6" Thin Jaw Adjustable Wrench (Made in Spain)

This is the type of tool I like to buy in person. I was able to try out the 6 units in stock for side-to-side and up-and-down jaw wobble with my hand. There was slight to no wobble with the 6 units. In addition, I was able to pick out the best unit with regards to jaw alignment.









Menards:

Knipex 7-1/4" Long Pliers Wrench (Made in Germany)

Since the Menards price was slightly lower than the HomeDepot.com (for the lowest price on the internet) for this item, I purchase the pliers here. Again, this is the kind of tool I like to buy in person to pick out the best unit with regards to jaw alignment. In addition, I wanted to take advantage of Menards 11% rebate that ended yesterday.











Wilde 3 Piece Nail Set (Made in the U.S.)









HomeDepot.com:

Channellock 9.5" High Leverage Cutting Pliers (Made in the U.S.)

The pliers' strengths are in removing staples, nails, and cotter pins due to their angled outer head design and long handles.

[04chase]

Wobble plus in 1/2"





Fastpipe 1" 100ft kit with additional add ons for 3 hose reels (drop too my benoak lift for the locks)

Maxline 100 ft 3/4" kit too run buried air too the 5x10 plasma table .

Too many projects too little time.

Turks and caicos for nye sounds good.

 

[Rossco]

Dede: You should cut that rubber handle off that shifter.

Nice Wilde set.

 

[zer0cell]

I like the look of that Wilde set as well.

Which local industrial supply place do you go to?

Brownsfan,

I think you have been to this one before. I purchased the above tools from Lakeshore Tool & Equipment in Lorain.

Gonna have to check that place out!

Love that place. They do need to order in some new SK/Proto/Wright stock. They sell Knipex now too? I have bought a lot of my Klein from them as well as all of my SK. They do have the largest Channellock selection I have ever seen. Now Knipex. I will never need another tool store. Very nice people to deal with.

 

[dede2897234]

Nice Wilde set.

I like the look of that Wilde set as well.

To both,

For such an inexpensive set, Wilde manufactured some nice knurling on each nail punch!

In addition, for the 1/32" punch, the knurling is through out the shaft. For the 2/32" punch, there are 2 separate knurlings. Lastly, for the 3/32" punch, there are 3 separate knurlings. I did not notice this before until now. It is a nice touch by Wilde!

[TK-421]

I like that. Wonder if it is Snap-On pricing or Lego pricing if you wanted to buy one.

eBay has them listed at Snap-On pricing.

jeffmoss26,

Before you check out this place, you better write a list of what you want and stick to this list. Otherwise, you will walk out of there spending hundreds of dollars!

They carry Wright Tools, Proto, SK (NOS; the SK distributor has not been there for almost 1 year to re-stock), Channellock, Norseman drill bits (metric and standard), Sunex impact tools, Gearwrench, Metabo power tools and accessories; Wiha screwdrivers, Lisle, OTC automotive tool sets, Wilton vises and hammers; Irwin vise grips, Klein, Ridgid plumbing tools, and others.

A good many of their prices are at or below internet prices even if paying by credit card. I would ask them to do a computer price lookup with their system to be sure.

Here is their website: LINK.

By the way, they can also order anything from the Mayhew, Knipex, and Vim Tools (Durston Manufacturing Co.) catalogs.

Do it and bring cash. Tim (owners son I believe) will make you cash deals. I got most of my Klein and my Proto Duratek scredriver set(which I use daily) from there. I bought misc Channellock and Wright and SK from there as well. Its a great place to get quality USA tools for a good price and help a local company at the same time. I have even had them order me stuff and paid a few bucks more over Amazon but was glad to.

 

[upgrading]

Amazon stuff from the last few weeks.

First up some little adjustable wrenches.

With the 125mm Cobra in the middle.

Cheap China Cobra Clone(AmPro), nice handles, operating action is a tad rough, but price was good.

 

[dodge610]

Will do they had all the sets on sale. Reviews were mixed but for the most part good. Gotta get them out of the package and give them a test run to see.

Not yet, gotta go and get the argon bottle refilled today. I'm hoping to build a stand for the deep cut bandsaw to make horizontal cuts. Already have the vertical stand and miter gauge on order from swag

I really like my StLP die grinders. I've been considering getting a cutoff and possibly and air hammer. Did you get it straight from StLP?

Yes, I ordered it from them just a few days ago. Free, fast shipping.

I also wanted a 90* die grinder and a straight die grinder. But I couldn't find much of anything on the internet or even this site on them--good or bad. So I bought the cheapest of the three tools I wanted from them and figured I'd give it a go. If it works as well as it feels and looks, I'll be ordering the other two tools I want shortly.

I have a straight and a 90 degree die grinder from them. Granted I don't use them all that often they work great. I really like them. They also have stuff available online through Home Depot for cheaper.

I ordered something from HD once and it took some ungodly amount of time to get to me...10-14 days or something like that for an in stock item. The price difference on this was around $3. I'd rather see a small company get it than some giant big box store. Thanks for the tip though! I wont use these often either, but I have a few projects coming up where they will be huge time savers.

If I could add a tip... I bought the large all inclusive snap on tap and die set. I don't know the part number off the top of my head, but it was around $470 Canadian. Love it. For everything but one part. Every time I use it, I feel like I am pulling a suitcase out of my tool box. The case it came in is as big as a briefcase, and wastes a ton of space. I wish I would have looked into whether or not I could get SAE and Metric in separate kits. Would save me a ton of room in my extract/tap/drill drawer.

Just something to think about.
