Got a new MityVac to replace my aging, decades old one. The old one only did vacuum and had no gauge, this one does pressure and vac with a gauge, so bonus...

New to me 18" Rigid adjustable. Fifteen dollars.

I needed a new t45 so I gave the opportunity to an Ega Master, my first tool of that brand, we will see how it behaves

That would be the MV-8500, me gotz the same one about 5 years ago. They are brilliant little press/vac small engine testers. Vacuum is good for crank seals on 2T's. Sometimes they pass under pressure but fail under vacuum while turning the crank. A rubber bike tube is handy to keep in the kit for making block off plates for testing. Great tool!

Yep. For years my 2 stroke P/V test kit consisted of a bicycle pump, Mityvac vacuum pump, gauge block, and various adapters for various motorcycles. That 8500 will replace many of the old items with one tool. BTW, the 8500 pump/vac by itself is about $55, the whole kit with case was only $4 more, so I splurged.

Is the handle on straight at 12:00 o'clock, or is it off kilter like this one?

I'm guessing you must be a damn good painter if you are adjusting your guns down to a setting you need a micrometer for. I didn't even know they made such a thing but looks awesome. A skill I sadly never learned.

Thanks, micrometers are used for keeping a consistent color match. And/Or consistent spray pattern.

Small Tekton order: 1/4 drive metric six point socket set, six in one screwdrivers, one torx & one phillips/flat, stubby 1/4 & 3/8 drive 90 tooth ratchets.

 

[jshailor1871]

Just received this from Amazon and already had to try it out by cutting up some small branches (2-5") for firewood! Love this already, not as powerful as my corded 15A sawzall but definitely way more convenient.

I have the same tool, very handy for dealing with rusted bolts.

New Capri Light. i think of this light as the Astro on steroids

it measures 18.75 inches from its magnetic swivel base to its magnetic tip at the top of the light. The 620 lumen LED section is 9.5 inches long. Oh and there's a side switch that changes it from white LED light to UV LED Light for leak detection, the light blade in 10 mm thin, has a couple of hooks on the back side for hanging, 120 degree wide beam angle, rotating dimmer switch, charger & usb cable included. I'll see how it holds up

Beautiful hard-handle ratchets!

Thanks!
I prefer hard handles also.
I don't know why Snap-On only offers hard handles on some ratchets but not all.
And why they only offer certain colors on certain ratchets is a mystery to me as well.
Like the long half inch locking flex head ratchet I just got is only offered with a red soft handle. I plan to switch that to green.

Wera 1/2 inch Zyklop Ratchet. It’s my test order from amazon.de. Even though it the listing stated it could not be shipped to the US, Amazon shipped it. It took about two weeks to arrive and was just under $50 w/shipping.

I got a Wright 6425 3/4" drive 42" ratchet this morning.
It really is quite big. Pictured with a Snap-on 10" long 1/2" ratchet.

In my experience, as long as its fulfilled by amazon, you can order from any amazon for international delivery (.jp, .de, .co.uk, etc.)

Yeah I wish they did too, I have the 1/4 and 3/8 Roto ratchets THNF72 FHCNF72 and would of loved to have them in hard handles I hate the soft handles.

Yeah same here, as long as it’s fulfilled by amazon it’s always shipped out. Weird part on amazon.JP they give super far off estimates but always gets delivered within a few days.

Ha! Well the ratchet functions perfectly, I'm not worried about the handles being tilted any

New SK 3/8 LP90 by way of Harry Epstein's and all of the recent Snappy hate threads made me want to buy another FLF80A, by way of the newly improved Snap-On website.

Also ended up in HF the other day and bought the most expensive tool I've ever bought there, a new orbital sander from I guess one of their new brand names, Baxter. I haven't used it yet but feels surprisingly nice and of a decent quality, maybe not dynabrade nice, but mid tier/ mid $100 mark IR or similar. $89 with a coupon I was able to look up on that HF database site.

[dsimatt]

Got a good deal I couldnt pass up.

 

[recountryman]

Picked these up 3 days ago used but they still works just needs paint stripped and repainted to something that looks better. Bad thing is I don't have a place right now for the 3 ton arbor press so its just sitting on back of my truck covered up.
