Since I don't have a compressor in my garage yet (working on the sub panel first), this is a nice tool by SO for home gamers without a compressor. Hook it up to your impact and use it as a die grinder.




I think you're taking too many shots of the Koolaid. You could of just bought the real 3M kit, got more discs, and spent about the same in the end. Works in any drill...

Plus the 3M is made in the US, the Blue-Point quasi knock-off is Chinese.

I've had the 3M kit in my Amazon wish list for a while now. It did not dawn on me to just use it with a drill. :tard: I guess the appropriate thing to do now is own both. :lol_hitti

Almost forgot, this arrived just yesterday, a vintage SK 1/4” socket set (incomplete of course) but went ahead and purchased it anyway because I was after the SK Driver, which by the way is in excellent condition!

The set is missing the 6” & 2” extensions along with the ratchet.

Probably considered lawn and garden, but it's in my garage. I love this thing, mostly due to the hatred I have for safety nozzles on gas cans.
I'm hanging it on the wall for for faster gravity feed, but if it's laying down then you can pump the handle and it pumps/siphons.
My zero turn, uses at least a full tank each mowing, so I was also tired of filling 5 gal cans.

What exactly is this thing? :headscrat

Is it to siphon fuel from a gas tank or...?

What is the products name, model number, manufacturer, where'd you buy it, etc.?

I also have a ZT (Hustler Raptor Flip Up) and am curious about it and it's function.

Picked up this creeper seat toolbox bench (that's really what it is because of the size 19" x 16" seat) today locally for $80 brand new. Been looking for a solidly built creeper seat for a while, and couldn't find one --- even the regular Snap-on ones that are just rebranded aren't great. This is about 30 pounds, constructed like a Snap-on toolbox, with toolbox level swivel casters, and some serious steel.

Really solid piece of equipment. Also found a set of long Snap-on torx for $40 like new (210EFTXL), and a like new TLLF72 for $40, but who cares! Creeper pictures!!

I've got the same creeper. You got it for a good price! Just a word of caution - since it's a promotion item, a dealer won't be able to get spare parts for it.

Yea, I had seen you post it above some time ago. I don't think anything on this will ever really break given the size of the casters.

I've looked around for the drawer version but someone told me it was actually smaller (and I've never seen one to verify).

Overall, it's very cool though. Mostly from the point of view of how stable it is to move around on it, and how well it's built.

I want that creeper, I assume it was a prize, giveaway

I assume it is. It has a part number, but it doesn't come up. I've seen a lot of them on ebay for more than $350 + shipping

This was it's main selling point for me, along with storing spare parts in it. I've fallen off my hf creeper twice now by going way too fast on it and getting a pebble or something stuck under a caster. This thing feels like a sofa in comparison. :lol_hitti

Yea I’ve never used a creeper where when you sit down on it you can’t feel it flex, move, or distort. It’s like sitting on top of a little master series toolbox .:thumbup:

Finished up my socket set with Koken 12pt shallow and deep 6MM-22MM. Precise as my Koken Zeal and SO sockets even though it’s from their regular line. Absolutely love them.

Here's what I thought a unique tool, recently acquired from local pawn for $2: what I believe is a bottle of actual MAPP gas, not MAPP-PRO. If I'm right that should place it pre-'08

I picked up a set 10 to 19mm of Koken sockets after seeing them in a motorcycle shop some years ago. I didn't know the brand, but they were cheap and Made in Japan. The quality was obvious.

I'm not really a fan of Torin in general. Your mileage may vary. They don't stand behind what they sell, and their casters are really poorly made.

Swapping a hub assembly on the wife's Explorer necessitated I buy a few things to get the job done. a Performance Tool slide hammer kit (Rural King) and a ball joint press at HF.

Yeah never heard about them until a few yrs ago but looking into their company found its much like Proto, an industrial tool supplier in Japan. Now I own 4 of their socket sets. For the price and quality I wish I got them earlier. Both these sets were about $60 each and the single sockets about $40.
