More Amazon.

Really nice work, Mac!


I was asking my Snap On guy about wrench organizers today...he said he sells a lot of these Blue Point branded ones, so I grabbed one to try. It was about $12-13.



Works well, and fits in a KRL 2" drawer. They sell forward and reverse to save space.



I googled it and found the OEM is protoco. Buying a single on Amazon is the same price, but if you buy multiples online you can save a couple of dollars.

Somebody finally bought a REAL WrenchRack! They're the best and always have been.

Grabbed this 10" 1hp grinder from county surplus for $60. Also grabbed a dewalt angle grinder, the grounded model if that makes a difference to anyone lol.

Grabbed this SAE craftsman V^ 14pc set for $25, and also got this Hansen reversed wrench rack for $10 to make it all fit nicely. It just leaves me with no room for a nonratcheting metric wrench set. Oh well, guess I'll just have to upgrade my entire toolbox

well guy's i would show you my new tool's but since some ******* broke into my service truck. and thought he could USE them more than me i guess my new tool arrival post will have to wait. until the insurance man pay's the bill for replacement I'M guessing some where in the neighborhood of a 3,000 dollar lose more or less all of my Milwaukee cordless stuff. and yes i am sick

That *****. Hopefully insurance comes through!

Tekton metric 3 piece flare nut wrench set. ~$11 from Amazon.

So far they work, however, I honestly don't have confidence yet that with something really stuck or rusted that these are going to do well. But I haven't tried yet either.

Well guys after filing a police report and the office calling the insurance company, they said just reorder you stolen item's. It ended up to total close to 5 grand, so i hit amazon and home depot and stuff should start showing up tomorrow. I also have made some extra security efforts to the truck. ie... better lock's, window tint and bar's, and added a ridgid gang box to the back of the truck.

Found the Craftsman digital 3/8" drive torque wrench on sale at my local Sears...normally $120, on sale for $60, for that price it was worth dealing with the usual Sears associates...the 1/2" drive ( #913919 ) on sale for same price...also a couple of magnetic lights at $5 each.

A bunch of Tekton tools off Amazon that I posted about earlier.

Two eBay scores from last weekend. 11 pc Snap On FD+ combos 3/8-1" and a set I have been looking for at a decent price for while which is the 15 pc Armstrong long pattern polished metric set 7mm-22mm which skips the 20 which is fine with me.

I wanted one for a long time too. Almost ordered the Astro version a couple times. Last week I bought a large tool lot from a crackhead and scored a matco just like yours!

 

[earlthegoat2]

I liberated some of the few remaining USA Craftsmans from the local Sears today.

 

[G-Ram]

A friend of mine owns an auto repair shop, and gives me first dibs on his used shop equipment when he upgrades. I scored an Eagle Equipment tire machine and balancer from him for $800. Can't wait to get them off the truck and put them to work!

Do you mind sharing the info on that beach side box?? That's a great idea for a tool cart!

Sorry for reposting all the pictures if they show up!

I believe its a Beach B64 box made in Canada, there's been a few threads about it, apparently they are rare. Cart was going in the scrap bin at work, I took it home and put new casters on it. I prefer to have a work surface to pile tools on when doing something, the Beach box worked out perfect. Going to fill it up soon.

That bit set looks nice!

It sure is! I was only going to buy a set of stubby hex but my dealer pulled out this kit and I could not say no! The only problem is the case takes up a whole drawer in my HF 44" toolbox. I guess a bigger toolbox is next

Try this stuff, Prather Cable Grease, I put it in 2 coarse tooth ratchets and it made them smoother than butter. I now use it on EVERYTHING and it works awesome.
https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=hpi-pra7145

Hey Bobcat753,

I couldn't find the Prather grease locally. Is the Prather like a blue moly type of grease?

However, I was able to source from a train hobby shop this product: Aquacraft GrimRacer Speed Grease. You can purchase it on Amazon: Aquacraft.

Like you, I own a coarse ratchet but from a VIM metric ball hex set. After applying the grease using long tapered cotton swabs onto the ratchet's gears, it operates much smoother in both directions. Here are some pictures:












Gearwrench (#89000) Serpentine Belt Tool Set w/ Locking Flex Head Ratcheting Wrench (Made in Taiwan)

I bought this set on eBay last week during their $15 off $75+ purchase flash sale. I bought it for around $66.50 with free shipping. This is a better deal than NAPA's current $79.99 Real Deals price. Here are some pictures:









Note: There is an O-ring on the 3/8" drive adapter that holds the crowsfoot adapter to the ratcheting wrench. It is a tight fit between the 3/8" drive adapter and the crowsfoot adapter.





Ko-ken 14772-P Impact Universal Double Joint (Made in Japan)







Ko-ken Wobble-Fix Extension Bars (Made in Japan)

I purchased both the Ko-ken universal double joint and the wobble-fix extension bars (3" and 6" long) from Rakuten's i-Tools Japanese store. Here is a link to their store: i-Tools. Everything was in stock; and sent progress e-mails about payment (including air mail shipping fee), date of package pick-up by courier, and tracking number. I will purchase from i-Tools again. The advantage right now for U.S. buyers purchasing from Japan is that the U.S. dollar is stronger than the Japanese Yen. I saved about $7 on my order with the exchange rate late last month. Here are some pictures:

Dave - Looks like a similar product. Same uses and properties. Glad it worked good for you! Also the Cornwell ratchet I greased is still very smooth.
