My wife recently made up some small zipper bags and wrench rolls to organize some of my spare / extra tools as well as a Klein network tester.
Dang, your wife does nice work!

Oh, I'm sure she could. It's nice to be able to custom fit things to a particular set.
I usually CAD out the design and give her the dimensions and template. She made two of these for my SAE and Metric nut drivers a while back.

Prime day deal - Hakko micro cutters ($4). I read some good things about these and wanted to try them out.
I love these things. Have an extra pair that I use as nail clippers. Cuts effortlessly and way more ergonomic than traditional nail clippers.

For sure...I can't believe how good these are for the price. The handles feel great too!

They have a few other various needle nose pliers that are great for electronics work as well. I came across these when I was looking for quality, light weight pliers to throw into my field service bag. Loved em ever since!

I have that brush... not kidding ... 67 years old. I use it on my table saw.
Picked up a set of Harbor Freight magnetic wrench holders. 2 sets of 20 wrench holders for like $15 bucks. Not bad. I either need to trim or add 5 more wrenches. [emoji1]

I see Harbor Freight is adding alot of tool organizers to their inventory.
How do the magnets work? Do they stay in place?
Not super strong, but I think they will work with the standard drawer liners ok.

I got this 1/2" input 3/4" output 4x torque multiplier a few days ago at a scrapyard.
Its a military surplus item, and the cage code comes back as being produced by a company called Aircraft Dynamics. I believe the gear reduction head is made by X4 Tool, who makes other torque multipliers as well.
It came with this reaction arm that looks to be made to push another lug nut or hub or something like that. I want to get the bar type reaction arm for it.
The X4 website says the torque multipliers are not to be used with impact guns, but the Aircraft Dynamics kit it came with has it as an accessory to an electric impact gun. Hmm.

Got a call from Harbor Freight on my way home from work this morning. Had to make a u-turn and go pick the top chest up that finally arrived.

Electric impact gun, or electric torque wrench/gun? They make cordless guns that look like an impact, but work like a drill and tighten to specified torque, which would work with a torque multiplier.
Impacts destroy torque multipliers

Extra long combination spanners. Made by Gedore, Germany.
Nice!! Those look like some fine long-pattern wrenches!

Yeah that pic is of the 7XL. I have the same set. They're super nice.
Hazet makes a long pattern that's a bit longer if you're looking for something super long as well. I have a couple of those and they're also good, although I prefer the handle profile of the Gedore.

Weiler 44434 Polypropylene Deck Scrub Brush.. exciting huh?
Bought some leather lace to make lanyards for hanging tools. This stuff will work ok, but it's kinda weak. I should have got some rawhide boot laces.

It's an impact gun, for sure. I might call Aircraft Dynamics on Monday and see what I can find out about this unit. I read that it has a torque limited in it. It might be set up for too specific a task for general use.
Hey dude, you don't have to lie here.
We all buy cheap tools sometimes
He meant to say his granddaughter!
A Bosch dovel drilling guide, a 4" C-clamp, and a Bahco automatic centre punch. You never know when any of these bad boys will come in handy. Besides, the store had a nice weekend deal which gave me 20% off.

It's hard to beat a good quality yard brush. My grandad used to have an old HG Rant brush, lasted for over 60 years before he passed on to me. He thought of it as one of his best tools, as in over 60 years of use it only needed 4 new handles and 5 new heads.

That's neat. Was it a promo included with something, a freebie, or a purchase?
