Those are nice, what’s with the yellow? Did you get them that way or did you paint them for visibility?

Williams makes full in sets in red and yellow. High visibility for safety and to keep from loosing them.

 

[canuckian]

Picked these up this week. Came with their newest style Bluetooth speaker but it didn't make the pic.

I've been considering the coolant filler next time its on promo. Can you (or anyone else on here with it) give an honest assessment of it once you've used it a few times, please?

Also, is that the "universal fit" one or the fitted one?

I have a habit of leaving things around the plant so I figured with the yellow I would be able to find it easier and I will know if someone else picked it up.

Picked up the channellock 8 inch wideazz adjustable. Opens wider than my 12 inch craftsman and proto. Cut off the rubber code blue grip. Looking forward to using it at work. I have trouble enough keeping my pants up without a 12" wrench in my back pocket.

I have one of the universal fit made by Airlift I believe, bought from Matco. Anyways, I do/did collision repair and WOULD NOT replace a radiator without one. Faster, easier, cleaner, idiot proof, and no come backs because of some little air pocket. Also with the system under vacuum if it doesn't hold you have a leak, rather then dumping in fluid then finding it.

This one is universal fit, has several different adapters and a cone shaped one as well. I’ve used it several times already and love it. I should have bought one long ago. Clean, fast, and no air pockets. I’ve used it on an olds intrigue which is notoriously hard to bleed , a chevy 2500 with a duramax in it, and a peterbilt with a cat 3406e and it performed flawlessly on all of them.

Dewalt Drill & XR Battery - $85 off Clist

 

[osguide]

I just purchased the Bosch set from Amazon around 5weeks prior, its magnificent, its extraordinary! I got it for car utilize, however, and it's completely extraordinary for that!

 

[wiens80]

I had been watching this for a while on Amazon waiting for the price to come down. Finally went from high $30's to low $20's so I bought it. Feels really solid.

It's amazing how smooth these are when compared to the cheap ones that I'm used to. $40 unused off the local buy and sell website. A retired machinists backup 8"

Needed to upgrade my wire stripper / crimper combo from the cheap commercial electric version I've been using...

 

[Dimitriy]

Couple more items that I ordered from Chad's. NWS has the best comfort grips I've put my hands on.

 

[skunkape1]

Craftsman Pro tape measure, sold by Sears Canada originally. Hi Vis fold up hex set. Craftsman would do well to capitalize on the current popularity of neon orange and green and bring these colors back for certain tools. Finally, a set of metric line wrenches, beautifully made by SK.

Congrats on your new acquisition. On another note what are the antique looking tractors in the background?

 

[JMLangford]

Picked up a 8pc. metric set today for 29.99 (actually got 10% off due to a chip in the chrome on the 19mm) from Tractor Supply....

Mike.ASC,

Thanks. I'm pretty jazzed about the mill.

Tractors: Allis-Chalmers Model G's. Manufactured from 1948-1955.

Best regards,

Scott

 

[Dimitriy]

Picked up the Snap On slip joint pliers to go along with the needle nose, they're superb, aggressive teeth, tight fit and in-hand feel is excellent. Have a bunch of Channellock and Knipex, but I'll be adding more Snap On to my collection.

How do you like the cutters? I've picked up both the needle nose and slip joint pliers, but held off on the cutters since I already have 8" Knipex and NWS pairs. Rethinking that decision though.

 

[Tonyuk]

Homebase were having a 30% off promotion on selected hand tools at the weekend so i went in for a look and picked up a couple of new hammers;

The rest of my 440's arrived on Friday afternoon to complete the set up to 24mm;

Toptul long pattern combos came in, very nice for the price (£75 delivered) no problems with them. Never heard of Toptul until i had a look on this site, if i had seen them before i wouldn't of bothered getting them;

19mm Facom 440 compared to the toptul, the extra length gives a good bit more leverage compared to the shorter spanner;

I haven't used them yet. All 3 where in a set.

 

[SRSemenza]

Two big sheetrock hanging projects in a row, needed a new driver.

Got the DWC 18-4500 in this week.

I haven't used that but I have seen it in action. It's pretty wicked. Hard to see in pic ..... is that the new Airstream battery / charger version?

[Skeptic68W]

I've had a ton of stuff come in recently.

I'm particularly pleased with this.

It's every new pry bar that Wilde makes for Craftsman (the ones with the strike caps) in a Wilde bar rack from Harry Epstein(It has WILDE cut out of the back but you can't see it in this photo). Guess they're made by a small local company near epstein and they have been selling them. It's a cool piece!

There might also be a HF pry bar in there...damn you Craftsman for not selling one smaller than 12"! rofl

 

[Skeptic68W]

The Carlyle ratchets are new, lubed up with super lube, and ready to go.

 

[Skeptic68W]

Just discovered Trusty Cook.

I grew up using a MAC dead blow ball-peen that my old man had and just LOVED that hammer when working on cars. Could never find any of them under like $100 (looking at you Armstrong). While researching Carlyle tools, I found out that Trusty Cook was the OEM for them and this discovery coincided with a garage journal coupon code TC had put out, so I bought these.

I didn't expect to care for the regular deadblow and only added it for the sake of a sale they had going on, but I love it! It's so handy.

Bonus: These are produced in my city! Talk about buying local.

 

[Skeptic68W]

Recently nabbed this block grinder off CL for $50 with the redneck stand.

 

[Skeptic68W]

I can just feel the jealousy...but I got these NWS Irwins for $3

 

[Skeptic68W]

Heard people complain about CMAN screwdrivers, but I gotta say, I love mine. I've seen people post up photos of their phillips having such a good fit it holds the screwdriver up in the fastener. Thought that was crazy...till it accidentally happened to me while working on my bike recently.

 

[Skeptic68W]

Yeah...I have been on a bit of a spree. Might have bought these too....

Thank you both. I have 4 vehicles due for a coolant flush in the spring, I'll pick one up next time its on promo.

They do sell an 8", but its not the striking cap version, and you have to get it as part of their 3-piece or 5-piece sets.

I noticed the same issue if you want to buy a Wilde labeled one...O well. Not gonna buy the set just for the single.

Yes, it's an Airstream SC8. Fast charger, louder than I expected, but fast.

The gun is pretty slick, sooo smooth!

 

[Strouty]

I was feeling blue today.

I was feeling blue today.

That locking universal looks handy.

 

[90zcar]

Having a hammer dilema. Needed something bigger than my 16oz snap on dead blow ball peen but smaller than my mini sledge.
Decided a 24oz would be the way to go.
Got a USA Vaughn 24oz for 19.99 from lowes
And got a beat up snap on db ball peen for $35 off eBay. Gonna see which one I like better
