Those look like they could be extremely useful for working on electrical harnesses!

I haven't used them yet but they look like they will really get a good bite! I got them on Amazon and they have 2 sizes. Mine are the PZ-58.

Nice find! What's the production year? They look very clean.
They seem really nice, the Irwin's are rebranded NWS. I figured I'd grab a few since I'd read a lot of good things about them. They look and feel a lot like Knipex. The sidecutters are supposed to give a mechanical advantage that lets you cut easier, that remains to be seen.

Those powerslot cutters do work well but do not open as wide as standard diagonal cutters. I had the Irwin version but I returned them because of this.
I have the same Irwin ErgoCombi as yours, hands down one of my favorite pliers. Also recently bought the NWS branded ErgoMulti, I like it a lot as well but haven't used it much.

Those look just like my gedore pliers, except with a different grip on the handles.

Got my order in from mobile Distributor supply. Picked up the power probe after seeing it recommended on here and watching a quick YouTube vid, i can see that being s very useful tool in my garage. Oem plastic razor blade tool, been wanting to try these blades since i always seem to need to remove decals and other **** off painted surfaces. Best part about this tool purchase was the oemtools 1/4 set was free with a 250 purchase. I already have a 3/8’s set of sockets that i really like so i couldn’t pass this deal up, this set is really nice all the sockets look flawless and the included bit set is really nice, 1/4 ratchet isn’t the greatest but the bit ratchet is supper smooth. 
Probably wouldn’t have purchased as much as i did without the deal but i was looking for an excuse to buy this 4 pc pliers set anyway my current plier line up is old tired junk.

Been a while since I've posted on this thread. Been too busy when the SO guy shows up. Just a few things.
Got the OTC Hub Grappler for $360 on amazon, and used some points to bring it to $300. Not bad considering most places list it for MSRP @ $500+. Wheel bearing is starting to go on my daily, so I've been waiting for this.
I broke the tips off a few of my orange Amazon plastic trim tools. I abuse the **** out of them, and they end up being too sharp/rough for dash work. These will be dedicated for dash only!
Lastly, needed to drop the transmission pan on the gf's car, but exhaust was in the way. Needed the 1/2" drive extension with the 3/8" drive on the other end to get everything to fit.
Just thought i'd point out, those snap on trim tools are made by a company called bojo for sub $20, they also sell the non marring o-ring pick set that snap on sells for under $10
I actually picked up both the trim tool set and o ring pick set for around $18 new.

I also need to know, they may be what I've been hunting for.
The long flex are pretty much the same length as the Matco ones course the Tone are reversible and have the extended ring. The double box deep offset are more a standard length, and are actually reversible and have a neutral lock position by rotating the outside ring into 1 of 3 detents. All 72T, 12pt, made in Taiwan. Finish is like Toptul stuff. Being Japanese no 16/18 sizes in the extra long. Bought them on Amazon japan.

Is that the KRSC326 Series Cart? If so can you provide the part number for the top liner, been searching for one for my cart and no luck with Snap On. Thanks.
It’s kind of a tool I guess. Just got the top mat for the cart.

Went to a local commercial electrical supply near my office. My first time really browsing, and went bananas. Bought a whole bunch of wire harness materials. While I was there, I saw these ESD safe tweezers. Made in Taiwan, but at ~$8 ea, figured I would give them a try. I will definitely be back there... They had a few "surplus" isles of various components, electrical enclosures, etc for all kinds of projects.
Here's some of the high temp harness material they had. I bought the rest of their 3/4" and 1/2" inventory. The price was literally 1/10th of what I've seen online...

By any chance did they have a website?

They do, but don't have an online store front. It's a mom and pop type of shop.

GuardAir promo knife arrived. Free after filling out a survey linked on the package of my new GuardAir 74SK air gun. No COO marked, blade is marked "STAINLESS". Edge is ground on one side. Light as a feather. I think it'll go in a car toolbox for the usual possible duties of cutting off belts, hoses, errant highway debris or hanging bumper covers. If it rusts or gets lost, I won't cry.

From Amazon the Ares 1/2” almost 10” long socket holders. They hold the the sockets very well, and I got them this length so they can fit perfectly in my bag.
They do not perfectly hold 10 sockets. So I had to move the little rubber cap slightly out to do so. The aluminum rails are thick enough to not bend or flex. Im actually surprised how rigid they are.

These are my favorite ratcheting wrenches ever. Im not saying they are better than other styles or brands, they just make logical sense to me.
