Nice SK set

I don't really understand the point of the 762. Slightly stouter head for manual removal, about the same powered break-away as the 761, and its far slower. If I wanted a slow stout ratchet i'd just get the club that Milwaukee calls the 3/8" Fuel.
I feel like someone found a warehouse full of air ratchet parts and Sioux found a way to use them. Otherwise someone in R&D missed the mark.

761 is 40ftlbs output and 762 is 70ftlbs output. Why do you say they have the same break away? (Snap On doesn't list break away torque values)

I've used them every chance I could this past week and really enjoying them. Wish there was a set in 1/4" drive!
761 will do 50. Then there is the manual factor. I just don't see a 40% loss in speed as remotely close to worth it. Plus I hardly ever use it on anything larger than 12/13mm. If it maintained the same speed or was reactionless that would be a nice update. 762 just seems like a lame refresh.

Used a gift certificate to upgrade my electrical bag from this:
to this:
The small bag was overloaded and was subject to 'spillage' in transit on occasion. New bag zips completely shut and still has more room to spare. This of course means I will find more things to put in it and make it so heavy that I switch back to the small bag....

Pick this up on a whim when is was posted on Amazon Warehouse Deals thread. It was at $30. It's worth that.
Rigid Professional Line Wet/Dry Vac. I like the way it is all self contained. 4.5gal 5hp
The extensions clip on the back, I just put them on top for the pic

Both a coworker and myself carry those WERA drivers on our belts here at work for our PM's on Equipment. I swapped out my bits to the dual ended WIHA bits. I needed to carry more sizes that what it holds so the dual ended bits work. They just don't lock in place, but not a problem for me.

First matco tool I've bought. I love my GW ratchets and the thin heads, the 84T I find to be about perfect. Since they don't make anything this long I had to shop elsewhere, figured an 18" long 1/4" ratchet would be a nice Christmas present to myself.

^^^Nice old school OEM 36 tooth goodness 
^^^
^^^Unless you are a sailor you probably won't know what these are. Loos tension gauges, sizes 1 & 2, used to set the tension of the stranded cables that hold the mast up by measuring the deflection of a tensioned cable. Correct tensioning of these cables goes a long way in how the mast deflects and in turn, how the sails set. The marine version of suspension tuning.
As luck would have it my latest boat acquisition has an array of cable sizes that spans both tools so I had to buy both, and they are not cheap. They generally are not discounted by marine suppliers but a few years ago I stumbled across them at Zoro (used to adjust tension of cables for industrial and architectural applications) so I finally broke open my wallet and picked them up using the 20/25% black Friday discount. They are a lot bigger than I expected.

I bought this beast with an included 5.0 amp battery on sale. It really hits hard and I’ll use it for junkyard pulls.
I see that a lot of people say that battery powered tools will replace air tools but I couldn’t see using something like this all day. It’s way heavier than my Astro pneumatic or IR impact wrenches.

Some stuff from NWS and Craftsman. Also added some Sunex low profile impact sockets.

Been wanting a parts washer for a while but don't have the space for a floor model.
It's small enough to fit in my workbench sink when in use.

I couldn't help myself...$59 at home depot last weekend. I have wanted to get into the m12 system for a while, but this may become a bigger rabbit hole than I thought.

It’s finally home. Getting in in and out of the truck was a hoot. Had to show the guy at HF how to use a forklift. Then used the neighbors backhoe like a crane to get it out. Wish I would have gotten pictures of it all.

Some Black Friday KC Tool goodness: German Tool brands decal set (freebie), NWS Radio Pliers, Stahlwille locking 1/4 drive spinner handle with freebie key chain, NWS small bulb pliers, Wera nut holding 1/4 drive sockets in 5.5, 7, 8, 10, & 13 mm all sitting on top of a KC Tool T Shirt.
Each of the Wera nut holding sockets came with a California Prop 65 warning attached to the hang tag so, I'm not sure if the hang tag or socket exposure will kill me
I'm particularly happy to try the 5.5 mm socket on AC actuator screws and use the 7 mm on trim pieces. I also like the deep knurling on each socket's base

Sweet stuff Fed! I have a few Wera sockets, I really like the knurling on them. But, but, but, I find the knurling hard to engage with fingers sometimes because it's so close to the ratchet, especially on the smaller sizes. Wish it was a bit higher up on the socket.

I’ve become a big fan of the Milwaukee M12 line. It is definitely addictive! Great deals this season too.

That is an awesome box. That is on my wishlist to upgrade from my Craftsman box.

I like those Vessel Swivel Ratchets, where did you purchase them and how much if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for posting!

I got the them JDV products out of NJ. I don't think they are on their website yet but I knew about them and JDV is a authorized Vessel dealer so they ordered them for me. I think they were around $55 or $60 each. I'm a good repeat customer so when I want something from them I just e-mail them and they send me a invoice with 20% off retail.
