I would have bought it too, that thing should be in the thread of awesome.

Had to do some juggling but got it worked into my new-ish Homak side cabinet. I just can't get anyMORE big pullers.....yeah right

 

[GetErDone]

I also picked up a magnetic Paper Towel Holder. I've been meaning to pick one up and finally just ordered it on Amazon. I wanted a black one to match the trim on my box.

Dumb me...at first I was thinking "how does a magnet work with paper?".

 

[roguegts]

Finally got the 10" plier wrench with 0-2" jaws, so far they are 100% knipex quality.

It’s true. Seems dumb at first, but they really come in handy and at $13, why not?

Be careful with that air rat. I used to snap my wrist and smash my fingers all the time and then I went 14.4 and didn’t look back

I’ve got the cordless too. Got the air to have a little extra power. It kicks pretty good, but what surprised me is how much the 14.4 kicks too.

I used to use one at the parts store I worked at in college. Never thought I needed one. The factory batter in my mother's '12 Liberty recently died...there is NO room to get your hands around it to lift it any other way. Mine is the metal handle cantilever style.

I finally popped on this Heyco 14 / 17 flare nut wrench I have been watching on Amazon...it came down to $10 and I couldn't pass it up. Should be perfect for the brake lines on my M3.

The magnets are pretty strong I assume, can you pull and tear without the roll coming off the cabinet?

 

[isuhunter]

One of the small town NAPAs was having their annual tool sale and I couldn’t pass them up

Also picked up a new 26” US General from harbor freight....but it has a big dent in the side.

The magnets are very strong, they snap onto the box with quite a bit of force and are padded on the back side so they don't scratch anything. No problem tearing a sheet off.

^^^ This. For me, it’s not for “carrying” the battery. It’s for those PITA situations where you can’t get your d*** beaters on the battery to pull it out.

This. Exactly this.

 

[PelicanPines]

For carrying batteries... I prefer this one... I keep one in my trunk.

 

[Fedwrench]

^^^Yeah that one is my favorite too. you can usually get those pads in some tight places. Those battery carriers aren't created equal though. Some models are just flimsy I think Kastar (now Lang) made the original version rebadged by many.

FINALLY upgraded my old floor jack. The gear mechanism would not engage anymore and release. The hydraulics are still good, but otherwise its done.

Gave me the long over due reason to get the one I wanted. The HF long reach low profile jack. This isn't he Snap On clone, but its a darn fine jack, best I've ever owned anyway. Buddy has the Jegs jack you see on Amazon, I's put this one next to it anyday. Wheels feel like they are on ball bearings, built HEAVY. I needed help wrestling it into the cart.

Hoping I can lift the end of a car all at once when I do brakes and not go from side to side. Looking forward to many long years with this one.

[Crazyjake8493]

Not new, but new to me. Picked up this Kobalt top/bottom stack for a steal because of a little bit of surface rust under two of the drawers. A little sandpaper and touch up paint and she'll be good as new. Just started moving tools over from the HF 5-drawer cart, which was previously my main box.

I've been looking at the same jack. My only concern is the height of the back near the handle. Although it's longer and lower than the two jacks I have now, it appears quite a bit higher in the back, which seems to defeat the purpose. How do you like it so far?

Got my regulator fixed..... and the new jack... got the cart last week at hf....

[rockinacummins]

What are those part numbers? I can’t zoom in close enough to make them out...

They look really nice!

Whats the cutout line for on the needle nose? Kinda cool, specific to some field ya?

 

[atikovi]

Lisle Battery Carrier:

What does that grip?

I've got this one but even that doesn't work well in tight spaces,

If there isn't much room around the battery I go to this one

Just a pin puller specific model...one of those things I seem to need help with on occasion.

The Wright satin look great. Making me second guess myself on buying the chrome.

The chrome is great, and in fact appears to have a better fit/finish than the matte. One of my satin has a closed end off center (significantly so IMO) - I plan on calling and getting them to replace it later this week.

Metric tech, what ratchets are those? I’m not sure if I’ve seen those before.

I really like those Engineer acetate screwdrivers. Cheap but good. And knurling on the shafts!
