Show your new tool arrivals

[Wamsutta]

Christmas from Mom. Also got a 5 gallon race fuel jug from Dad.

I seen that set on the Matco truck. It's in the video posted below.

Can you see it? I'll give you a hint: It's on the wall.

Stocking up my 44" HF box.

Haha, I recently acquired all those same tools. I lole the tekton sockets but the ratchets are straight trash!!

 

[Vicegrips]

Also,

This "tool" won't be used in the garage much, but it's going to be fun anyways

Where are you going to ride that beast? I sold my m9 two years ago hoping to grab a m29. It’s hard to justify a full dh bike with how well the new long travel trail bikes go. Might just pick up a nomad

Nice pickup on the airbrush, I’ve had my eye on that model for a while wanting to get into it. I’d like to repaint lures and a ton of other projects. One day

Pumped to try these, the affordable version of Vampliers.

Engineer Neji-Saurus? Those are the original—my understanding is that the "Vamplier" is just a rebadged version with some sort of exclusive import deal.

Have to say I’m really impressed by the quality of the Mayhew stuff. I believe I paid 80 bucks for the screwdriver set pick set and oring bar set.

Thanks, quality seems very nice. Not a pro airbrusher at all, learning hobbyist at best. But a pro friend of mine suggested that I get a good quality from the start and its all much easier and more satisfying. Just like with most tool related stuff.

Yes, Neji-Saurus is the original and I think they also make the Vampliers.

I do have 2 Neji-Saurus pliers and they are very good. Have already saved lots of time removing some stripped screws with them. Much easier than with other tools. Bought them from ebay and shipped direct from Japan.

Is that a stackable hard case for the Milwaukee?

I bought those same two pliers for my brother for Christmas. They are less than $20 or so shipped each shipped from Japan. Rukukan ( spelling?) Takes papal now so it's easy and cheaper than eBay.

Been looking into different ones for myself. What led you to that one?

If you’ve never been on an intense or Santa Cruz I’d suggest trying one out, that’s what I’ve mostly been riding for MTB for the last 10-12 years going back to the first vpp bikes with a few treks and long term demos(worked at shop) I’ve stayed connected with the product manager and just really like the company and product. There’s some crazy deals on intense direct sales, over 50% off. It would be a great time. If your into 27.5 wheels the spider or recluse are amazing with their Geo, I don’t know how but the primer is the best rig I’ve ever ridden and I’ve had over 40 bikes. My wife turned down a few new bikes to keep her recluse after her spider, she is thinking of a primer and a tracer combo. I wish I could post pictures of my bike garage. We had over 20 bikes, we sold half for a sizable down payment on our second house. My wife just sold her last DH bike after having three at once, I told her today we are getting passes next year. ***** when I get a new rig because she excepts one as well. We’ve thinned the herd to two trail, road, fats, and one dirt jumper, that’s the one we can share. My wife blew up her fork yesterday , so cold, did a quick service on the way to the trails at my friends house because I didn’t have oil and stores were closed. Helped because she lost her air from her air spring because it was so cold. She still had about 1.5 negative travel, i just pulled the lowered because there was a ton of air trapped in the lowers, but I’m going to have to rebuild the air spring, I miss the coil shocks for winters in NH

It was consistently rated as the best 3d printer under $200. Honestly I would've loved a Prusa, we have 3 at work that I use all the time, but they are $700 and up. I will say, the instructions for this one sucked, but it was up and running much quicker than the other printers I have used, including the Prusa.

 

[Strouty]

The Prusa has a waiting list too.

Damn. I haven't really looked into 3d printers as of late. I had no idea they were that cheap now!!!

I think she paid a little over $200 but it was recently on sale for $179. It printed great for its first print, but I will need to run to Microcenter tomorrow to get more filament. I only had the sample piece it came with.

Aha. I hear you on the last part. I was starting to think Mr Snappy got your whole paycheck.

That snappy batter tester is a nice piece of equipment. I borrowed one from a friend and was very impressed. Its on my short list now.

Moab Porcupine Rim, Grand Targhee Ski Lifts, and Jackson Pass.

I'm not crazy enough to "need" monster suspension, but I also don't care about riding up hill either, so I figured why not?

Now. More tools.

Orbis pliers from the deals thread

Fairly nice. Nothing spectacular IMO.

Pedal wrench so I can have my 15 mm back from bike bag

Mini Fridge so I can get rid of the big one and have a little more space

Merry Christmas all.

All this talk of 3D printers got me interested. Started doing some research and now I want one! I'm thinking this one would suit me best: Monoprice Maker Select 3D Printer v2

I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on one this week. I've spent over $1k in hand/power tools the last month and $200 is just too cheap to not at least give one a try. I think the programming is gonna be the hardest part. I'm clueless on that stuff.

 

[Strouty]

I have an outstanding invoice with a customer, once that is paid, I am ordering the Prusa with the 5 port head. My BIL has one and loves it, I know it will be useful, but I agree for some of us, me included, the learning curve will be the hardest part.
