New Dewalt 1/2 impact w/ Mac boot/battery cover

 

[L.Cheapo]

Needed a 3/8 flex, couldn't resist the Pearl Blue.

That blue is beautiful.

 

[48Connor]

Picked up a rivnut tool and a snap-on plier set.

He said "I've got the matching screwdriver set.." An evil man, he is.

 

[d.mcfarland]

^^ Best 3 plier set they offer in my opinion!!

 

[Deadsquiggles]

I needed a new impact so I'm gonna try out this Nitrocat 1200K. Reviews seem to praise it though. Got it with a warranty for under $200.

We use that one and the 3/8 composite and 3/4 composite Nitro cats at work on our rubbish trucks and they are awesome 2-3 years old and going strong. The 3/8 get used daily and does almost everything we used do with a 1/2 impact.

I have these on my Amazon wish list. Let me know what you think of them after a few uses.

I'm hoping this'll serve me as well as y'all's have served y'all.

I have that kit. I am very pleased with it and it has served me well. Do yourself a favor though, keep the threads on the nose part there well lubed. Mine have gotten a little funky.

Is that what I think it is???? Is that an 18" flex head? I've been waiting years for that.

Been beating on mine for a couple years now. Love it. The amateurs around the shop question it's power because it's quiet. So after they try every other gun in the shop they come back to the nitrocat. it builds power as it hits, haven't met much it won't do. Even got a couple lugs off the big toe truck before I got tired of it bearing up my half to 3/4 adapter.

Snap on 8/10mm flip socket, matco extra deep 10mm

 

[Mastermind]

I like the kneeling on that extra deep. Does the flip have a hole for a locking extension? I could see that being handy on my screw gun

Thanks for the heads up. I used it a couple times tonight and noticed the threads were wearing a little more than I thought they should have been. Easier to get the tool off after, also.

I don't think a locking extension would fit, at least not through the 8mm opening.

No, sorry. It's the 1/4", about 11" long.

I would love a 16-18" 3/8" flex head. That would be the cats meow! I don't know if they make one or not. I could buy snap-on ratchets till the cows come home and still not have enough, so I tend to only look when I actually feel I need something. Next up is a nice mid length 1/2" flex....

Do you have a part number for the flip socket? Seems very handy

Good point, didn't think that one thru. Would still be convenient for a lot of shields and airboxes type stuff.

Damn. I keep hoping. I love my 18" 3/8, bought the first one I saw when they came out. Just wish they would make a flex head that long. I use the current long flex all the time, but not having the mass of a 1/2 to get some reach would be awesome.

Pouch Made in USA!

 

[smuro04]

This is pretty much all of my new tool arrivals. Still trying to get everything settled in. Much (if not all) of these items were purchased because of people raving or reviewing them on this forum, so thanks! Mainly all Gearwrench with a pinch of Craftsman and some Pittsburgh Pro.

For starters, my two Husky 52 bottoms:


Starting with the left box, these are pretty much the essentials:





All Metric:


All SAE:










And on to the left box. This is where all of the "specialty" tools go:










Still not entirely finished with the purchases, but these should be able to handle anything I can throw at them. I'm very happy with the quality of the tools thus far and only time will tell how they hold up.

I love mine so much. Probably my second favorite ratchet.

 

[ecotec]

Used but never used.

What did you pay for it? I would have to think long and hard about that ratchet... it would not match my other ones.

 

[maintguy]

Terrible chrome, really rough interior, about par for $9

Made in America. Deep set and only $9 . I like it . I like it very much

 

[MattVette89]

Haven't been on the truck in a while. This was a BOGO, buy 1/4" spline and get 3/8" spline free:

 

[Yarpo]

Picked these up for 35 dollars, ratchet is awesome, sockets seem to be in good order but I haven't got to use them on anything yet tho

 

[Chaplian]

Got the GearWrench 1/2 84 tooth XL ratchet with the free 1/2 extensions off of usatoolwarehouse for $40 shipped. Came in today, only 2 days later. I finally have a long handle 1/2 ratchet with more than 36 teeth.

 

[Jim Diesel]

Nice buy mate, time to get those sockets dirty.

 

[Deggs]

Grabbed a snappy 11pc punch chisel with holder. $159. Glad I didn't bite on the soft handle set he had a couple months back

 

[FlightParamedic]

UPS dropped these off this morning. Got them on eBay a few days ago for $105. Seemed like a fair price.

 

[Super Sport]

My first Astro Pneumatic purchase, an add on to my OTC ball joint press. Also some USA made Craftsman goodies.

pretty sharp edges on that BJ set. Go over them with a file.

They look like armstrongs. My craftsmans are the same crappy finish.
