Love the color. I’d buy that color!

Originally I was planning on the orange for all the new boxes. Once I got to the store and saw them in person the green was the best color. The orange was too creamy, not bold enough for me. The yellow was surprisingly good looking.

I just got this OTC tie rod removal set to remove the inner tie rod on my 2004 F250. It got it off in 20 seconds.

I went to Harbor Freight this weekend and also liked the green and yellow boxes the best. I also saw first hand the differences between the 44" boxes, particularly with regard to the full extension slides. All the boxes were nice, but I actually liked the drawers of the 26" the best.

The SO 3/8" impact was on promo. Dealer told me he'd take it back next week if I wasn't happy with it. Figured why not give it a try. Initial impressions are that it feels like it has a better build quality than the Milwaukee. I like the simplistic design and the fact it doesn't look like the typical transformers space power tool toy. That being said, I prefer the conventional trigger on the Milwaukee and the M12 stubby 3/8" with an XC 6.0 battery felt stronger taking off some lug nuts. (SO = smaller anvil, higher blows per minute. Milwaukee = large anvil, lower blows per minute) While the stubby design seems nice, I find myself using a short locking extension and/or deep impact socket 99% of the time I use it. It's almost like I will need to keep both. 
My duckbill pliers are most used ones, so got the longer versions just for the heck of it. Tempted to saw a slot into them for hose clamps.
Cam shaft & crank seal remover/installer kit. Have to do seals and timing belt on my girl friend's vehicle. It has a 2JZ power plant, and I read this kit works great on Toyotas.
Lastly, I picked up this USA made titanium nitrided drill bit set on Amazon for $5 new from Viking Drill. (It was a price drop) Figured keeping back ups of smaller sizes couldn't hurt.

Good call on getting the non fuel. The M12 hex driver is another really awesome product your should consider getting. Bar far my most used power tool!

I absolutely love that little gun. My buddy has it and the Milwaukee stuff and prefers the Snap-on. I use mine for EVERYTHING. It fully replaced my 1/4" hex drive Makita impact unless I'm driving screws. Just used it last night to rip the bumper bolts off my new Ram to put camper tie downs on. 1/2" was much too big to use in the tight space and surprisingly enough even with Canadian rust the 3/8" was able to knock most of the bolts out without breaking them with a bar first. I feel ya on the conventional trigger deal, but now that I'm used to it I dont mind the rocker trigger. Biggest gripe is that the light is only on when the trigger is depressed.

It's worth the trip out when the weather is good. Any chance of rain and less than half the stalls turn out so it can be disappointing. Sunny day like today and it's a pretty big event. Lots of interesting stuff to be found amongst all the rusty old AF spanners.
Todays pickings.
the september one is in my diary hope the weather is good

It's funny you mention the hex driver. I've probably picked that thing up every Monday for the past few months. I think I'll grab it next Monday, since I'm starting to prefer the longer, small diameter design over the stubby fat design of the Milwaukee M18 Hex Driver. I kind of regret getting the M18 Hex Driver for what I'm using it for. Have never used it..will probably post it for sale here soon.

Couldn’t help myself and bought both. Didn’t like the paddle switch on the Milwaukee ratchets.

Congrats Dakkyz.
Often wondered with that design, how's the fit on a fastener? They look like they may be a loose fit.
When the socket is on a fastener can you turn the socket a little each way before it engages the fastener or is it a tight fit?Dakkyz

Thank's ^
They work I found some junk draper sockets, like this and was rather surprised when it came to undoing manifold bolts, I was expecting it to chew them up something weird but they work surprisingly.
I don't understand the reason why they work but I was really surprised, I struggled with 6 point and was going to hammer a 11mm 12 point on it.

Got a pair of Klein combination pliers from an Amazon Warehouse deal. Looks like they're going back since they don't line up well. You have to apply considerable force just to get the cutting blades to touch each other which means they likely won't cut. Shown here next to similar combination pliers from Knipex, Gedore and Facom.

VIM half cut bit set. Just needed one Torx Plus bit at the moment. Don't understand why they duplicate a lot of the security bits. Why not eliminate the corresponding standard bits since the security style fits both fasteners. And I don't see ever using the 5 point Torx.

They have released the accessories in all the colors. Didn't have the glove holder in stock in green. 30% coupon works on them as well.

They have both for strength. The non security bits should be stronger since they don't have a hole in the middle of them.

I understand that but can't imagine any screw in those small sizes would ever be so tight that it would matter.
Torx bit sockets are probably the most often broken tool, other than maybe flat tipped screwdrivers.

I recently redecked my trailer - I bought six T30 Milwaukee impact torx drivers and ended up breaking half of them before I had removed all of the old screws. One driver was sufficient to sink the new screws.

You will find a 5 point fastener the minute you misplaced your set.
Heard good things about the Snap-On gas analyzer and wanted something more portable than the one I have so I bought it.
I didn't really need the printer but it was marginally more cost than just the bare tool alone.
I'm interested to see how well it works.

I have the 3/8 metric set of these sockets, they are really nice. Koken makes excellent sockets, I've been impressed with everything I've bought from them so far.
BTW, koken has several socket sets offered with the surface drive design.

Got this USAG socket set for 450 Nok, this translates into about 47 EURO or 53 USD
I’m very pleased with this, and think it was a bargain.
