Omni Tools 1/2" Drive Impact Screwdriver - Not a ton of reviews on amazon, but the price was right, and frankly these manual impacts are pretty simple devices. Biggest difference between a high dollar unit and the cheap ones is probably the quality of the bits.

Omni? It says Capri on the tool itself, so just making sure you got what you ordered.

I got this HBBD32 for $40 at pawn. Looks to be $108 on the Snap-On site. I will say, it has a really good feel to it.

Nice! Good catch. Capri tools is correct. Actually quality still unknown. It does seem well made, with good attention to detail overall from just the physical inspection.

I just picked up an older, very LIGHTLY used Fluke 289 true rms digital data logging multimeter (there's a mouthful) for $200. I'm still in a bit of disbelief that I got it for so cheap and that I have a meter I have dreamed of owning for well over a decade!

Still educating myself on all of the features, but very happy with my newest tool acquisition.

Paying me :lol: !!! I wish. I think I am too nice sometimes. I was under the impression that I was going to "help" him do the brakes... you know, teach him some things, and let him go to town on one side while I work on the other. But now it turns out he is dropping the car off?!?! He at least offered to provide the consumable shop supplies like Brake Cleaner & brake grease/silglyde.
I guess I should just be happy he is providing the parts hahah.

My 1998 BMW 750il is going to be due for rotors and pads pretty soon, so the new tools were not specifically for this job. I do look for any excuse to get more tools though.

You gonna get some $$$ for the Pontiac work? It's a slippery slope doing this for free for friends because I think some end up taking advantage of it. I like working in the garage and cars in general so it's not like I hate it. But I do I have my own **** to work on, ya know. I don't really know what I'd charge either.

Pontiac job is free of chargem
I feel exactly the same as you. I do work free of charge for friends. But if it's some random.:evil: They gotta pay up.

Just picked this guy up. Thermostat is bad in the truck and the coolant is looking more brown than gold. So might as well change everything before winter.

Hopefully it's worth the money! Hate "burping" the cooling system.802519f0374dd4aaa6ab9ba03bde5f61.jpg

I picked up this neat little Pittsburgh Pro 1/4 swivel ratchet. Came in handy on a job today. I noticed on the website that they are red, but this one is toxic shock green. $10.40 after 20% off coupon. 72 teeth.

I've never had a roller cabinet before so I'm habitually cramming stuff in as tight as possible.



I saw it on Amazon at $648 so I had to pull the trigger.

Nice Hazet socket set. I have always wanted one, but i already have a socket set and it's also expensive. Congratulations.

Oh my nice score! I have several Fluke meters, VDV test equipment and network test equipment. I'm in the the electronics field. The 289 is still one of my favorites to use. Enjoy!

Where did you acquire this beast? I have seen the Stanley version but not willing to pay $100 for it..
Click to expand...

I bought one a couple of years ago & I decided to paint it & in the process of removing the handles I broke a screw. I called up Stanley to get a replacement screw & they weren't available so they decided to send me a brand new Fubar.

I have since replace all four screws with stainless hex head bolts.

I bought these NOS Vaco torx drivers for $13 shipped. I left an el cheapo set at a friend's house because he needed them to put something together, so these arrived just in time to go into my portable box in the trunk. I prefer actual nice drivers with handles rather than the folding key sets.

I have a full set of Vaco screwdrivers, so these will be a nice addition. Lots of beautiful orange goodness in my box. I do need some stubbies though. I have some HF stubbies in my box temporarily.

I picked up both a 1/2 n 3/8 from here a couple years ago for about that same price. I already had my 1/2" with the degree feature and what I didn't know was those didn't have that feature primarily for torque to yield fasteners. But I wasn't too disappointed. It's great having all three ready to go when doing a engine assembly. Also just in case you didn't know make certain you take the batteries out after every use. Congrats and enjoy.

Yup ..... I hate when the battery leaks and destroy your equipment. I used them already and love it.

I picked up some SAE impact sockets this afternoon:

I already have the metric set; I'm using these as my hand sockets, along with some thin-wall 3/8" impacts.
