I have the Rigid set up like this, do you see any advantages to the Milwaukee?


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yes, it matches my Milwaukee tools

Just being a smart ***, I don't know anything about the Rigid. but these are built well and I like how they interlock with other products in the Packout series.
The same company (TTI) builds both Milwaukee and Rigid power tools, so that would explain similarities in the tool totes.

Got this as a gift from my GF's mom this weekend. She's awesome!

Also, I'm trying out a new image host. Can you guys see the photo?

 

[M6erfan]

Photo shows up fine. Nice saw

 

[protegeV]

Nice saw. Nice photo as well!!

Finally got a true flush cut plier. BOGO with a regular snap on side cutter. Show special from September.

It is on the tight side in terms of handle action, but it cuts exceptionally close. Works really well!

S-o pliers are a bit tight when new but will loosen up nicely with a bit of use.

Nice flush cuts. Hard to find a good pair and orange to boot nice.

 

[sweet victory]

I think I saw a video on Snap On's instagram account for their new flush cuts. The guy cut a zip tie, then rubbed his hand on the zip tie. Not a single scratch!

They are a true flush cut. There is zero edge on a cut zip tie. That’s what I bought them for.

I think that is why they are quite tight. There can’t be a whole lot of slop, because that would cause the cutting edges to misalign.

That's awesome. I own probably 20 or so Snap On pliers. They're very tight new, and are easier to open/close when you break them in.

 

[Snakebyt]

those are really nice flush cutters

$50 .. couldn't pass up the chance to see what it was like.

 

[jonshonda]

It was CL cyber wknd for me. Two block grinders, a Bosch JS470E Jigsaw (only sign of use was sawdust), and a Reed 214R w/ copper jaw plates.

That is a really nice looking drill motor. I’m interested to see how you like it

Looks hella long

I caved on the Home Depot deal

I did the same thing. It is hard to beat for $59.

Got this San Jamar bar speed rail cheap on AWD. Supposed to be for liquor bottles in food service but seems to work fine for Brakleen

Needed some extra Robertson screwdrivers. Gray Tools was having an online sale, couldn't pass up getting the set including old-school fluted yellow handles for P1/P2 and slotted. I still like fluted handles over many of the newer "ergonomic" handle shapes.

For my US compatriots, Gray Tools is a one hundred year old Canadian manufacturer of hard line tools mostly selling to the industrial market. Quality is on par with Snap-On, Wright, etc. They do re-label Taiwanese tools though so you have to be careful. Ratchets and sockets are all made in Canada.

Interestingly, the coloured Robertson (sorry square drive )screwdrivers are labeled Made in USA. The Phillips yellow handled drivers are Made in Canada. The slotted ones have no COO. The coloured one looks somewhat like Pratt-Read to me.

 

[Old-Soul]

I'd like to replace my C-Tire drivers with Gray, or even Fuller (are they still made here?).
I too prefer the handles on those over most ergo styles.

Today's haul was good.
Proto j54209 23 piece 1/2 drive metric sockets $119

Sk 1/4 drive dt $20

Craftsman 42 piece torx and hex sockets 24.99 free after points. Marked down from 99$ but free is probably a good deal 24.99 would have been OK too.

The 1/2" impact is so awesome. Way more torque than the lesser expensive model from Milwaukee. Got it on the Home Depot special buy online.

3/8 drive impact tool only from Copo outlet.

The Phillip's bits are very brittle, not had any other problems from the set, but they are usually marked down to 30$ from 99 during holidays, I wouldnt ever pay more than that for them

Yeah I needed some torx I normally buy cheap ones because even the high cost ones brake in construction use. Home depot next to me stopped replacing the ones I brought in claimed abuse. I asked why they place them next to 4.5" construction screws if they are not ment for construction.

48548, I just like the old school 3-bay V28 charger in the background. I've got one too (from Strouty)!

That's a nice haul! The only Reed vise I want more than a 214R is a 215R! Never seen one though but they made it.

If you ever get an itch to sell it let me know.

After over two weeks of waiting this finally showed up today from Acme. I have some towel racks to hang at home tonight so it will get a little use right away when I get home just because I can!

 

[Indy125]

Looking forward to using these!! Non magnetic, made in USA [emoji631]

Autorex pliers handle says 1000v but they don't seem insulated. Anyways there is two cutting points and two crimping points so should be good for cable work. Made in Germany BTW.

Hi. Thanks . I’m not good with computers, took me an hour to post this, but I love it,

That is ******* awesome! What exactly would you call this set up to find online? Universal vise, compound vise, etc. bring up similar items, but nothing as impressive as this!

 

[ale]

Thanks, You won’t find one . I tried many times,
