This statement makes me feel like I'm seriously missing out on something. My dual 80 1/2" drive locking flex head ratchet is easily my favorite ratchet!

I prefer the somewhat shorter RHFT 1/2 flex.

However, I meant physically displaced -- not practically; it's back in it's spot now. It was out of the drawer when I shifted everything around.

My Wife just bought me this to help start my business. Found it used locally.



It’s so tiny.

Is that a 255 Miller?

I blame This Old Tony. Now i want to replace my mini lathe with a 12 x 36 lathe but that will have to wait a few years.

Finally found some made in USA stuff at the Re-store. I had never seen curved pliers like that (Diamond M16) and for $1 I couldn't go wrong.

 

[designer485]

I found a set of Lindstrom RX 8140 cutters for $13 a piece and had to have them. I already have 2 other pairs, but they are my go to cutters and it will be nice to have a few backups.

 

[davethorik]

Not a big score, but I got this off eBay for a good price.
Williams USA C-82A aligning pry bar.
17.5" long, 7/8" wide prying end, body is 3/4" hex, tapered end is 3/8" diameter. Nice and hefty.

Dang, those are really nice! How do they compare to Knipex's 79 series pliers?

I haven't tried the Knipex 79 series, but comparatively both are very similar to each other. They are both roughly the same size / shape and have cutting edges that are induction hardened to approx. 64 HRC (durability is non issue with these).

They provide a nice clean cut both on small diameter solid copper and on easy cuts like zip ties / etc. Even though the yellow handle version has the same cutting head size, they feel quite a bit smaller than the ESD safe blue handles (which I prefer to use).

Nice. Is that a Wilton?

If so, I bought the new version of that last year in a 6" wide jaw width and I love it. Although last night when I was using it one of the plastic handles broke on me. The vertical locking lever. The end of the ball popped apart like a mold defect. Now I need to dig through my drawers and see what I can find to replace it or worse, machine me a new one.

MSC has a large variety of ball handles listed.

Thanks but I'm sure I have one or two kicking around. I just need to see if I'm lucky enough to have any with a 3/8"-16 thread.

 

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Does this count?

 

[Real_PhillBert]

The other day I got a friendly visit from the UPS guy with a Proto 3/8dr torque wrench and a set of 3/8dr crowsfeet.

Then today I ordered a new set of Proto Impact sockets as my Krutch sockets are forcing me to drink.

 

[Wrapitinbacon]

Got a few things this week.

 

[pat9198]

Those crowsfoot wrenches look nice

Is that the new atomic set?

Yes, i figured i would give it a try for myself. Seems to be some mixed things being said about it. What better way to find out then to give it a shot

Agreed. I wouldn't expect them to blow away the full sized units but I'd be interested to see how yours and another guy's hold up.

I will let you know how they do, i have some work to put them through.

Finally replacing the harbor freight ones I got last year that didn't work when brand new.

Found in my grandfathers house technically.

A couple from the last few weeks. Picked up a Miller Diversion 165 with 2 full argon bottles for $400 (I know, I stole it).
And just today picked up a Lisle pipe expander kit. Trying to get into more specialty automotive exhaust system parts and intake manifold and piping fabrication. So these should both help

 

[JBradley500]

Details? I have been wanting to pick up a locking extension set.

These are nice. USA made, same design as all of the high end brands, when I tested them out they all work and lock as you'd want. They aren't cheap though. I got these on Google Express at good pricing with a coupon code otherwise I wouldn't have been able to justify the price. They took a long time to get here too but it was worth it.

Catalog number J6000-6L

2" in 1/4" drive
5" in 1/2" drvive
6" in 1/4" and 3/8" drives
10" in 1/2" drive
12" in 3/8" drive

Added the PZW 5 to my collection.

Just one more new toy

You'll like that Lisle expander set. Works fairly well.

Wow, those are big..... and a big price tag

 

[Farmall450]

Got a good deal on a Kreg Jig R3 Kit:

I was going to just get a mini, and buy a box for it, but I got the combo for the same cost as the mini.

Also got a new to me miter saw stand for the cordless slider.

 

[HotWire]

Whoops!

Multimatic 220ac/dc and Spectrum 375 extreme.

This came today, damn it now I will need an impact.

 

[jeffmoss26]

got this NOS Crescent adjustable today

 

[Farmall450]

I bit the bullet and got the Kreg auto clamp for the jig. Even the cheap clamps that fit the Kreg jigs are basically what this costs, unless you only want to clamp 1xs. I didn't really want to try and find a perfectly sized washer to weld to a cheap clamp to try and save a few bucks.

Tsunoda chain master link pliers...

I have the same Proto set of locking extensions. I don't use them as much as I thought I would but when I need them they work well and are reliable.

 

[jeffmoss26]

went to Menards for the second time ever. Got all this plus some beef sticks. Will be back for sure!

 

[Farmall450]

Sure does! Sure puts my 500 lumen Napa blue fuel to shame. But it was $20. I'll bet that wasn't
