Show your new tool arrivals

That's a BMW payment right there. Nice, though. I've got a couple.

The other thing about Snap-On chrome is that it lasts practically forever. I've got one of those from ebay with a 1987 date code. It's got some light scratches from drawer wear but otherwise it's perfect.

Yup. They were 280.00 or so.. Not cheap, but you all know the deal with the SO trucks.. It doesnt hurt so bad when you are just paying 40-50 bucks a week

Vacula air gun. Comes highly recommended.

Anybody into music here? I can’t wait until I can post my new TOOL ALBUM arrival. Should be early 2019 [emoji869]

Wow. I’ve been poking around online for deals on decent deep box wrenches and never came across that deal. Those look like they go up to 22mm as well? and only 10.00 USD to ship them all the way to me. thats nuts. I cant even ship things from Ohio to florida for that cheap

That seems like quite a deal. They end up just under $70 USD shipped to my office.

Got the Craftsman Professional Grinding Center installed. I had to drill the Harbor Freight grinder stand which was just wide enough to accommodate. There was a LOT of vibration when I first turned it on. I had to bolt the stand to the floor to keep it from walking. A strategic zip-tie kept the lamp in place. Some reviews at Sears.com suggested the wheels, particularly the wire wheel, might be out of round. Now that's it's all bolted down, and I tightened all the bolts and screws, it seems okay.

Throw down a rubber shop mat and you won't have to bolt it down. This is way better for moving the grinder around if needed. I have these in my shop for standing and keeping grinders etc from moving around.

I found this Craftsman Light Driver at a flea market today. Looks to have never been used. The bits are still sealed.

Yeah, I know it's probably considered a corny, kitschy tool. But I used to have a cheap chinese light-up screwdriver and it was handy as hell for working on PCs. But it had an annoying twist-switch and it was all the time turning itself on inside of my toolbox, then it'd be dead when I needed it.

This one is USA made, and has a nice rubber button on the end like a regular flashlight. I wish it was LED, but it's probably too old for that.

Anyhow, here it is:

 

[Romanova]

Got this Irwin extractor kit off of Amazon so help with a broken skidplate bolt on the GX460. Hopefully it works.

Plus it gives me a reason to use my great grandfather's tap handle. I've had this for years, but never had a reason to use it.

Very excited about my new JBC soldering station. I don't have enough posts to post a picture of it.

I was wanting some deep well SAE sockets for 3/8 drive and stumbled across on EBay "never used" SK socket set with extensions, ratchet, shallow and deep well sockets. The part number SK 94520. It was $60 with free shipping. I was shocked when I opened up the package and the plastic box was in the original, unopened plastic cover. This kit sells for around $150 at Circle C Supply so I got a great deal.

There is a downside though. SK uses the same box for other kits so there some empty holes for sockets to go. I had no choice but to get on Circle C Supply and order the missing sockets, short extension and u-joint. I also ordered a DT80 mechanism since I like the DT kits in my other ratchets I have. $75 later, I have all the empty holes filled and still saved $20 buying the original 18 piece kit. Sometimes I really like EBay.

Any day you have to use an extractor and even a sentimental tap handle is never a good day.

A little CTA fluid extractor/filler pump. It's surprisingly really nice build quality. Very solid, thick plastic plastic housing. Comes with various seals depending on what fluids you're working with.

[Wamsutta]

sweet victory - will that fluid extractor hold up to gasoline?

I've been using turkey basters and they're a onetime use with gasoline.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

Picked this Sanborn Compressor up the other day. Looking forward to setting it up and planning a distribution through out my garage.

 

[Matt XYZ]

This is actually a few purchases that I just consolidated and finally mailed to myself in Germany during my last visit to the states. 1. The rest of the Advance Auto sale order from the spring that weren't available for shipping. 2 &4. A few items from Amazon before my Prime account expired 3. The Office Crave Clearance order for a few months back that wouldn't ship to APO.

 

[dutchgray]

I needed a new wonder bar as my last Vaughan one disappeared on the job, and I recently broke another flat bar (not a Vaughan), it was only a little more to buy it with the hammer from Amazon, you can always use a spare hammer.
View media item 87906Then I saw the local builders merchant were doing a limited edition Estwing, so I had to get one of those as well.

No. It would have walked right off a mat. I'm talking about a lot of vibration, 1/2 horsepower's worth. It wouldn't stay in place even when I stood on the foot of the stand.

The concrete anchors were only $ 0.59 each, and an SDS hammer-drill (which I had already) made quick work (surprisingly quick) out of the hole drilling. The grinder's not going anywhere now.

Just a few small things I grabbed at HD while I was in there today.

Nice Estwing! I wish mine were like that.

That's a smoking deal. I was completely happy when I bought my set from Jens a couple years back for like $130. Awesome set and many times being the perfect tool for the job. Specially the top nut on strut assemblies.

 

[jeepinerdeep]

Been searching for a while, and finally got a great deal on a modern mag drill on ebay. Outfitted it with a few cutters to start. Largest blow molded case known to man though.

 

[dodge610]

A few more small things needed around the shop to make life easier.

Checked out an old hardware store downtown and picked up the Japan-made wrench and on the back of a peg, high on a wall was this USA vise-grip. The ratchet came from eBay, really liking the pearl blue! And 2 SK bottle openers

getting some stuff for my truck project....Control arm bushings and ball joints

Had a hole in my arsenal so I picked this Dewalt Angle grinder:

Then I saw the Gear Wrench deal from Tooltopia that KCTyphoon posted so I now have a good set of sockets for my go bag and the 120 tooth ratchets are nice too.

Waging war on the leaves. I already have a Stihl BG86 but this BR450 is on a whole different level. I stayed with the 2 stroke motor so I don't have to worry about adjusting valves.

 

[PelicanPines]

Returning the light for a refund... several issues... both batteries are flashing error when charging... the magnetic clip is useless...

 

[ChrisLS8]

Did you make sure to push them firmly into the charger? If they are resting on the terminals it will flash red and green

Picked up $1100.00 worth of Stihl screwdrivers.
Got a free chainsaw and leaf blower with the purchase.

I didn't know you got a Chainsaw too! No spark plug wrenches?

The chainsaw was a little while back.
The spark plug wrenches aren't Stihl orange!

Couple things from ebay...

-Midwest MWT-6716AS serrated long cut aviation snips (gift)

-Proto Professional 5464W 20" 1/2 dr wobble extension

Ordered standard 5464 extension (non-wobble) and the wobble version showed up. Sent the seller a message saying item wasn't as described and I'd keep item, but to perhaps update listing for future transactions.

Without asking, I was refunded price + shipping and told to keep extension! Free is my favorite price!

Had to buy a liner protrusion gauge, I had been doing so good at avoiding overhauls up until now.

Something from lowes this morning...

Needed the laser to help get the posts lined up before installing the anchors.

I'm not sure. Used it this weekend to empty a coolant expansion tank before replacing it. CTA's website doesn't mention gasoline, and the application chart is blank.
