It's a cheap Chinese holder for cables. Very useful.

It needs a cleanup, but for $75 I couldn't really go wrong with this deal from a neighbor who was selling his cottage. I've been wanting to get back into welding for a few small projects around the house, and I think this will serve me well. I did some stick welding in highschool, and though I wasn't terribly great at it, at least I know the basics. I'll likely try and find a night course that I can take over the fall. I still need to grab a few magnets, and a helmet, and get a 220 plug wires up in the garage, so it will be a couple weeks before I get it going and start making arcs.d1f96e9088d111da5bc3e45435f1630e.jpg

It looks to be a 'Y' of Loc-Line (or some knockoff brand) somehow attached to what looks to be a magnet base with a couple alligator clips stuck in the other two ends. Interesting to hear it's sold as a cheap Chinese cable holder.

Have you noticed newer starrett calipers jaws being soft and wearing out? I was researching to buy both inch and mm calipers, and alot said stay away from starrett cause soft jaws wearing out. Ever seen that? Ended up with B&S.

Nope. That being said I don't work in QC or manufacturing so I don't have one in my hand all day. I work as an R&D Engineer. Mostly electro-mechanical systems.

Well today was a good day on the truck. I make my first payment on my 86" epiq, power ss top, power locker, and hutch next week. Box should be here in 5 weeks. My dealer ordered it at the most recent franchise trade show. Got 25% off the box, 20% off accessories, and nearly $5k in rebates.

Here's what I picked up today. Been wanting these ratcheting wrenches since forever. I've been using a stanley set that I've owned for 9 years now. Best $20 I've ever spent. It will be delegated to the "where tools get modified, destroyed, and dickered to get out of a pinch" box. These ones cost a little more.

Freebie from my dealer. Too big for me to travel with, but will be nice for some small work lights.

Saw these mini long reach diagonal cutters. I think they're a new product? Being a plier *****, they came home with me.

Got a few comfort grips to try out. I'm used to chrome handles, but I've been curious if the hype is justified.

Williams MSS-47F set (USA 1/2 metric) used as new from eBay. Has a few handling marks and some dust I had to clean up. Very happy as I was planning to buy the corresponding shallow and deep socket sets and got all of this for the same money.

Yeah i should have finished my thought a bit better. What was interesting to me was I've probably paid more for just the loc-line than I imagine something 'cheap chinese', and you got a magnet and a couple alligator clips with it. I just wasn't aware there was a cheap chinese knockoff version of loc-line though I'd be surprised if there wasn't. Loc-Line isn't expensive, but all the extra pieces you need like Y fittings and npt-threaded fittings add up. I've looked a bit for cheaper alternatives and hadn't found it, though admittedly I'm not exactly sure what to call it other than the brand name. 'Flexible socket tubing' found me plenty of USA made loc-line but nothing 'cheap chinese' I saw. More than once before I've heard them called 'air legos', but that search went nowhere also. lol

I'm excited for these to arrive!!! Ordered them through my dealer. End cabinet was 20% off, it will be in Combat Green to match my box. In addition to the 3/4 Set, Part Number 434HDC, I got the 34" Knurled handle and another 19" extension handle. Both the handles were 15% off. Added to the discounts was a $750 instant rebate.

Bronze tip hammer is a warranty replacement for an older orange one that finally started cracking and falling apart.

After replacing my dad's struts on his Tahoe last week and thinking I wouldn't mind having a beefier prybar than my SO 24", I pulled the trigger on this SPBH30 off the truck today. My dealer said he's had it on the truck for at least a year so he gave me a significant discount on it. 6eec15dd820e7d310ec29934f7cd989b.jpg

Those picks look suspiciously similar to the Milwaukee set that I recently acquired.

It may be the reflection on the packaging, but these are just the small contoured-rounded-square all-hard-plastic handles. The Milwaukees look like they might have a grippy overmolding, like the SO comfort grips? The business ends look similar. The SO's are hardened, COO USA.

I saw those in person. They look awesome! I just wish they made locking flex hard handles; that's why I ended up with the comfort grips.

I've been waiting for a long handled flex 3/8". Perfect for caliper bolts, belt tensioners, etc. I have some comfort grip tools...I like using them, but not cleaning them. I'm a hard handle kinda guy. He had the hammers, pliers, and pry bars too...they looked great.

I bet the folks on eBay that have been getting away with charging a large premium for hard handle mini pick sets for a long time now have sad faces. :lol_hitti

List is $58.

Dangit! I was trying to order an orange set on the truck today and couldn't figure out the part number. The old hard handled pic sets were ASA204A. Of course when you put that # in it comes up superceded by the current SGASA204. I should have known to just change it to ASA204B.

How do you like them? Is your 17mm missing a screw?
Click to expand...

Yes it is... No worries though as the snap on driver is going to try and locate me one in his box of spare parts... Along with two replacement screws for my F936 ratchet. The heads on those are so old and rusted that I want to change them before I can't.

Not a personal purchase, but we're starting up a new series of testing at work, so 2 of my mismatched test benches got upgraded to a couple of Lista benches. The rest of the benches/ desks are getting replaced this year but getting some of the systems moved around will be a big process so we're doing it in sections
