Got these at Bunnings for $45.00 on clearance which aren’t too bad.

I would say that's a crack'n deal mate!

I have these Vise-Grip pliers on the right. They are just perfect! Before I used Knipex, which has great reputation here, but I can't count the times that I nearly broke my fingers using them.
Also the "teeth" of the jaw are very sharp and stay sharp. Much better grip.
With $45.00 this is an incredible bargain.

Proto 262g power track 2
Proto 231g power track 5" ignition pliers
Proto 230g 4.5" ignition pliers


The last photo shows the difference between the groves of the power lock and power lock 2. The black pair is the round hole style I forgot what they call that but is the same like Wilde. These bought N.O.S. from eBay for about 12$ each. The larger 262g are beefy. I like how on the 262g the lower jaws are off center of the lower jaws. The bottom jaw just a Tad bit longer when on a nut or bolt. If that makes sense. Not sure if proto still makes these or not but I needed some new pliers and these were cheap enough.

I saw that deal referenced in another thread and thought it looked great. Thought seriously about picking up a couple but really have those need well covered.

I wonder if Proto actually made those or jobbed them out like they did/do with some things like adjustable wrenches?

At any rate it'd be tough to beat those those prices for similar new tools.

Hard to tell as I do not know the age of these tools. And the box did say ingersoll Rand on them. These do not look like any other brand I seen. But that doesn't say much. The newer ones do look like standard run of the mill USA made pliers. So never really looked at them twice. But prices were hard to beat and I went on a pliers binge waiting for my nos bonney ww2 pliers to come in. Might buy some more from that guy.

I bought a power probe 3s last week, finally got to use it last night, I've been using a co workers 3 and finally decided it was useful enough to get my own, the 3s has a large screen, bright led lights that shine a far distance, peak to peak readings, max reading, and min reading, can also flip the screen depending on how you want to hold it, very nice addition to my box, especially since it helped me through a problem last night I couldnt get through with my multimeter, being able to put power where you need it is great

The proto pliers that are labeled ingersoll rand are from the 80’s when proto was owned by them. But to answer your question they could be made by Utica, jp danielson or another sub contractor

For future reference, power probe makes a 5 volt adaptor also for it. Its comes in handy checking 5 vref sensors

Neiko branded external torx plus set.
Never heard of this company before and I only really need the 10, but it was hard to pass up the whole set for $24 when the best price I could find on the single socket was $12.

Thanks I was so impressed with the 262g that I bought a 10" version of it as well. Bought a few more nos pliers too. One is marked Los Angeles with just bare metal grips. Should be here by end of week.

I think for the price you will be satisfied with it. I paid about the same, possibly less (I think amazon was running a special or coupon), on a set of triple squares from them and so far no complaints

Got the 3 piece set and a long bread knife, first time I’ve invested in quality knifes and I’m glad i did for the price these are imo a great deal and using them actually makes me enjoy cooking instead of dread it.

Got the same 2 and i like them, sure i would love to invest in some knipex latter on down the line to see what all the hype is about but for the price i like these and was able to pick them up local which is a rare thing these days.

Wiper arm puller.

Much better then those cheapo hand crank wiper removal tools.

that puller is great. just used it again yesterday.

but my one gripe is that you can't wind the wingnuts down to lock in the arms if they're too close to the center screw. I think I'll replace them with little caphead bolts but then I guess I'll need to keep an allen wrench with the tool. Maybe I'll just cut the wings off them

 

[sweet victory]

After replacing my coolant expansion tank, thermostat, water pump, and some hoses, I got to use my new coolant filler and AST adapter. Couldn't believe how fast it filled 5 gallons! A must have tool for 911 owners (At least those of us with water cooled engines) With the engine in the rear, the hoses run the entire length of the car.

Rotenburger is another alternative to knipex a 3 pack will cost about 50$ if you shop around. Made in Spain from what it looks like. I didn't buy these yet. But they are on my list. Rotenburger makes pipe things. They have a factory in USA that makes industrial pipe threaders.

FYI, you can get the 3 pack of Knipex Cobras for roughly $65 if I recall correctly if you order from Amazon.de. You just have to be willing to wait a few weeks. I think US amazon sells it for $100.

Yeah Amazon Japan sells them for cheaper than USA too. Not sure why USA has them higher priced than other countries. Odd tools can be bought from Japan shipped to USA in three days and still be cheaper than buying locally.

Which coolant filler do you have or used for this project?

I have this filler:

+ the Assenmacher FZ22 adapter. If you don't want to deal with adapters, SO (and other companies) sell universal fillers.

I'll have to test later, but you may be able to tighten the nut down until its dragging, then give it that little bit of a turn once its near the center screw.

Otherwise I like the caphead screw idea, or even a different style thumb screw.

I have been thinking about buying some high end knives - but with all of the options and various products lines how the heck do you guys know what to get? You can find positive and negative "unsponsored" reviews for anything.

Japanese knives are really thin and sharp. Great for slicing and dicing. It's blade is at a 15 degree angle. If you like to be rough with your knife and beat it around than i suggest going with western knife with a thicker blade.

That Tojiro DP was only 55.96 from Amazon. ( stainless steel softer clad on the outside and a VG-10 core steel) I also have their carbon steel ones which I love but my wife doen't always dry those after use and they can rust, so i got the Tojiro DP series that are stainless. The DP series are priced really well. I also have some Shun Premier and they cost a lot more but I like my Tojiro work horse.

One thing about Japanese knives is most the hand forged knifes need to be be dried off completely after washing to prevent rust.

Back in the day, we always preferred riveted linings. Bonded shoes were a PITA and tended to squeal and chatter. We used a lot of Wagner riveted shoe sets because they were the best.

 

[Negen]

Got some new old stock pliers today. Quite a good haul. The bonney and the l25 will probably get the most use. All this was about 70$

Crescent L25 thin straight nose 5"
Crescent L26 thin straight nose 6" (mint box)

Miller Falls pipe wrench pliers 12"
Proto Los Angeles 6" pliers PL42 ( lightly used $7)
Bonney B26 8" (NOS military issue)

Got a couple of things from the men in brown yesterday. First was a weatherpack ratcheting crimper kit 9478 from Astro Pnumatic. My harness side connector for the tps sensor was shot on my 95 mustang and seems to be a unicorn now days, so its gonna be weather pack conncetors for everything. Last but not least, an oem brand stand. No more putting all the tools on the lift arms.

I have one of the blue OEM tear down trays as well. I like it quite a bit. I changed the foam inserts to Nu-source drawer liner. One of my casters was kinda screwed up out of the box, and I emailed OEM and Mobile Distributors (Where I got it) about it, but received no reply. I guess I should've called.

Got a brand new 1/4" drive brushed ratchet for $50 shipped. My first Milwaukee ratchet!

Hope they come out with long neck versions like SO!
