Got a good deal on some used pwz2s.

What's the primary use for this sort of wrench? Or are they pliers?

Pipe work?

Whatever it is I'm sure I need some.

Those Dewalt chisels something new ?

No idea when Dewalt came out with them but they were new to me. Made in China, but still pretty impressed with them so far. They're not fine woodworking finesse chisels. They're more for demolition and roughing sh*t out in a hurry kind of tools. Gonna find out pretty quick how well they hold up. I've already begun to beat the **** out of them.

IMO, the PWZ series are a great combination of channel-lock pliers and traditional pipe wrench. I use them on anything that is odd shaped or doesn't have wrench flats. The geometry of the jaws makes for super grip....grab onto something and put all the a$$ you got into it without slipping....once you use a pair, you'll probably buy the other sizes, I know I did and now have #2, 3 and 4....and yes, you can buy the other brand (Bahco?) to save a few bucks if you don't have a good SO dealer.

That will definitely take some time! I'm going to have to wait for a promo/show to get the accessories. Going to order a non power drawer box, and go for the power locker. Will be storing everything from tools to do paint corrections, fabrication, and hand tools.

My dad keeps talking about passing down his 1932 Franklin to me...so will need to beef up my SAE tools and who knows what else.

:drink:Some new stuff... Sometimes good things can come of bad Situations, 2 years ago we lost a good Friend and Fellow tree care owner after a battle with mental illness. His widow recently needed some help cleaning up and my partner and I obliged... The husband bailed me out on numerous occasion when I had just started out in the Biz and of course it just the right thing to do... what goes around comes around... :)

I am glad we could help and she couldn't be happier... :thumbup:

A Surefire 6px pro was a warranty claim I got a brand new light... :thumbup:

From the Clean out
She gave me his Carhartt insulated coveralls which fit like a glove kinda cool...
They will get used a ton and will always remind me of him...

a Snap On 24" breaker bar...was his will get a new home next to my dual80s

She was going to scrap a bunch of stuff as well. Although She said she would much rather see us use it, then it all end up in the dump... Who am I to argue...
some tool boxes and the Biggie... an 86' F350 rack body

Some of His stuff I'm going to make an effort to do build threads and post pics and stories Especially of the truck and as well as some stuff like Axes and other small, but very important projects...

He will be greatly missed ...... :drink:

I haven’t used them but people seem to happily replace their pipe wrenches with them for automotive uses. Seems like front end work is a big one.

Thanks, gents.

That is an awesome set!!! the CEO of Viking/Norseman is a friend of mine. Great guy and a great company.

Would you believe I actually needed a #21 bit to drill and tap a hole for a 10-32 set screw this afternoon? It was nice to have what I needed.

Tell your friend he makes good stuff! :beer:

I'll pass on the word. His SIL stopped by the shop and had a beer with me today. Great family.

I only have 3 set from them...LOL...I earned them all fixing their stuff.

Are you planning on ordering your Epiq in orange w/ black trim to match that great looking Homak cart?

Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

I was actually planning on going with a White Box and Titanium Trim. No power drawer, opting for the larger power locker instead. :bounce:

I got that orange cart for a steal. Can't remember, but it was less than half MSRP so the color didn't matter to me too much. Will be selling it when I get my epiq.

Got this JET jointer at an auction this past weekend. $45 plus 10% commission made it $49.50!

Had one rusty spot on the bottom corner and needs a little bit of cleaning but it runs great! Going to order new knives for it as well.

$50?

Damn you ****

Here I picked up some new tools. Dewalt 36" wrecking bar and 21" flat bar, Estwing 15" flat bar, Empire 12" speed square, framing square and level, Dasco Pro small prybar 3pc set, and a couple FatMax utility knives.

Paid pretty much the going rate for everything except the FatMax knives were clearance for $7 each at wallyworld. I mean, it's not a Jet jointer for $50, but I thought it was a pretty good deal so I bought two. woohoo

Replaced the alternator on my girlfriend's lexus and realized I desperately needed a serpentine belt tool. I can easily loosen the tensioner on my vehicle with a ratchet no problem. I had to disconnect a radiator hose and other ******* to get her belt on. Matco sells the rebranded gearwrench kit for $150. You can get the gearwrench kit on Amazon for $42. PN 3680.

Also picked up some Trusty Cook deadblows during their sale. Got their 43oz stubby, 47 oz, and 26 oz double flat deadblows. Really liking the blue
