Show your new tool arrivals

I just picked up a couple of Tekton composite ratchets (1/4 and 3/8) Both were on sale at a price I couldn't refuse.

At SEMA this year I had a chance to play around with a couple of their rats. I was stunned at back drag being almost completely absent. How do those feel EP?

Edwards 40 ton Ironworker with custom dies for stamping parts

That's saaaweeet! I've wanted an iron worker for ever but I just can't justify both the space nor the cost considering what I'd use it for. What kind of parts are you stamping with it?

My E-Z Driver set arrived today.

Got my Sonic sample tools today. Pliers are NWS and look to be decent, I like the hex on the extension and like that the male and female ends line up on it, the sockets look like they likely come from the same place my OEM sockets did and the ratchet seems ok but it was a little frozen and took a little bit of effort to get it to move. I thought maybe there wasn't any grease in it but took it apart and there was some in there. Back drag is also high compared to my SO ratchets. Overall they seem to be decent tools.

Also got a couple free pcb rulers from digi-key.

They may say "Tekton", but they sure look identical to the Harbor Freight ratchets.

I owner a display fixture business for 30 years that my son just took over. Years ago I designed a clip for hanging shelves and was having them stamped by a company but the got so flakey and keep quoting my son longer and longer lead times (16 weeks) I decided I needed something to do in retirement so I got this setup to stamp the parts for my son.....plus a few other uses

Sweeeeet.

I've wanted one of those for a long time but just can't seem to give up the space they require.

 

[zmotorsports]

Nice.

Thanks. Now I can't wait to try them out.

What kind of wrenches are those, and for what application?

 

[jfcasey]

Speeder wrenches for when you want a ratcheting open ended wrench. They only grab in one direction and slip in the other. Used to wear out a 10mm snap on version on brake line fittings.

I bought them off Craigslist. You can find them on eBay. NAPA calls them "Snake Bite" wrenches.

Currently not available per customer service. They said they were on hold as they haven't decided if they were going to continue with them or not.

Got it from http://www.rmeuropean.com/ for about the same price but free shipping when I added some parts to the order.

Got a part number for the bender? Looks like it'd work for bending lines in place a lot easier than the usual ones.
