Got some free T shirts, and picked up the new ctr767gwb long neck 14.4 ratchet...

It also came with a battery, that's where the serious problem arises, wth is this????

Whoa... I didn't know those were out. They would be super handy.

Ok so just checked and didn't find any info on these online, what's the torque spec? Is it the same as the ctr761 or is it a little weaker with the mechanism being elongated?

 

[ptgarcia]

And got this today...

That's a nice looking box.

 

[Tragik53]

That's a nice looking box.

Thanks! Definitely the nicest box I've ever bought. Replaced a 67" Cornwell box.

I think the official release will be in March...

It has the same torque and speed as the 761, 40 ftlbs, and 275 rpm... It can handle about 160 ftlbs of manual force... The long neck and head are made of hardened steel they say...

Doing the rear drum brakes on my dad's Ranger last month made me painfully aware my drum brake tool collection was lacking. Of questionable origin, manufacture, and dubious function, upgrades/additions were necessary--I have a lot of drum brakes. That Snap On spring tool is almost too nice to use. The Starrett carbide tip scribe is sharper than the needle I got my flu shot from in October. No lie. Phone camera couldn't focus on it to take a pic. Snap On pocket screwdriver just because, 3" #2 Phillips bit so the ratcheting screwdrivers can reach deeply recessed screws, and a metal brake pad gauge for those hard-to-see calipers.
View media item 78447Someone on GJ posted an Amazon flash sale of the Li ion jump packs. I was on the fence, but the price convinced me. The marketing **** says this one starts 10+ liter gas and Diesel engines. Should work for my V8s. Its bigger and heavier than I thought, but will still fit under the seat I intend to keep it under. If I never have to use it I'll be a happy man.

My first order from Amazon.de. Way cheaper, faster, and better packed than .com. Highly recommend for German/euro tool purchases. I simply could not continue waiting/hoping for a USA company to produce locking pliers, so I gave ze Germans a try. They're pretty nice. Not perfect, but nice enough.

Pair of knipex auto wire strippers, nice for the £15 cost and made in Germany, strips from 0.2 - 6 wires so good for most things.

Where did you pick these up for £15? I want a pair but they are so expensive?!

 

[Heavy Metal Doctor]

And got this today...

Looks great!
I still say that if I had a decent Matco dealer, I'd probably own their boxes instead of Snap-On stuff. I really like Matco's selection of drawer layout options.

 

[MattVette89]

I've been waiting for a while to pick up the matching sae set of Blackhawk flex head ratcheting wrenches. This deal finally came along on eBay. Sae set #BW3251L.

Snapon disappearing from my area for 5 years right after I spent a ton of money with them ruined me from doing any real business with them ever again. We've had 4 or 5 snapon reps in my town since then. They come around for a ear or two, go out of business, then someone places them. I'll pass.

Matco has been great. Same matco guy for over 20 years...he retires, and there's a new guy in his spot in 6 months.

Going to give Tekton a try. Was traveling through Columbus and found an independent/used tool dealer that had a couple of the items I’ve been mulling over:
TEKTON 3352 Pry Bar Set, 4-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NPR2Z8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TahpAb05WQNQB

TEKTON 1/2-Inch Drive Deep Impact Socket Set, Metric, Cr-V, 6-Point, 10 mm - 24 mm, 15-Sockets | 4883 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009447UOC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5dhpAbX81SJXD

 

[maydaymike]

I ordered some Wera screwdrivers to replace a set of Craftsman clear handles. A total of 18 drivers for a quite reasonable $68, including shipping. KC Tools was also kind enough to send me all their free catalogs as well.

got my Craftsman Cross Force Metric wrenches in yesterday. Very pleased with them and got them in timely manner.

sorry for poor quality picture.

you are going to love that M12 Polisher... I even cleaned my STOVE with it.

 

[Andy8430]

Like the John Deere tools, don’t see them posted on here much. We have several of their socket and wrench sets. Good quality and easy warranty coverage if needed.

Those are great wire strippers.

Finally got a complete precision plier set. Not sure if I'm allowed to post pics of these or if that's only for people who sell them. I'm in the secret club now! Lol

Where are these made?

 

[Project_shadow]

Me and the mrs did Early x-mas and my birthday presents since we won’t be home much til Thursday, some cheap amazon hammers, seem pretty stout, pick set from gear wrench, some miller metal working gloves, and a kleeko set, along with a body panel stand, hope to put some of this to use this week

Where did you get the cleaning wands I like the green ones. Gotta get a set on a green kick right now.

 

[ocloc24]

That is a great question. I just did a search and found no info. It's frustrating that they don't an online catalogue or anything. I'd guess Taiwan based on quality. They seem decent, a couple of them are rough with burrs on the hinges and jaws. One of the cutters has a pretty bad gap between the blades so those are pretty much useless. For the price it's solid though

Got the Braun folding light from Harbor Freight for 19.99 we will see how it hols up. so far used for 2 hrs works great. we will see how it lasts.

I picked those up at my local Napa. It was actually about half the price of anywhere online I found. They actually work really great for radiators and oil coolers. I’ve already used them on several tractors and combines. I’m really happy with them.

You couldn't make up your mind on which plunge router to get, huh?

Ha, The Dewalt has too much slop when plunging to drill shelf pin holes, so I bought the bosch just for that. This takes me to seven routers total

I've used a set of those before and I wasn't impressed. They don't put enough pressure out to really blow anything out of crevices, etc.

SK Holiday Sale

I purchased 7 SK metric X-Frame ratcheting wrenches (Made in U.S.A.) with the 40% discount for about $20.92 a piece. That's a much better price per piece than on SK's website, Amazon, or eBay (typically mid to high $30's). Upon arrival, I noticed that a few ratcheted slightly stiff and the rest ratcheted just right. In addition, 2 of the ratchets didn't ratchet smoothly between 2 consecutive teeth. I soaked all 7 ratcheting heads in Mobil 1 0W-30 synthetic oil in a large measuring cup for 2 days. Now, all 7 box heads ratchet like butter.

HF Braun 390 lumens slim bar folding rechargeable LED light (Made in China)

I paid $19.99 with a coupon that I found in another "General Tool Discussion" thread about all the new Braun lights with "kctyphoon" as the OP. This is a bright, solidly built, and well designed unit. It uses replaceable 18650 Li-Ion, 2200mah batteries which you can purchase at specialty battery supply houses. In N.E. OH, I purchased an extra Samsung 18650 Li-Ion, 2500mah battery from Bulldog Battery in Willoughby, OH.
