Looks like this one. Though there are a lot of sets out there that are similar.

I picked these up the other day to take up to the station and keep in my box up there.
The small die grinder is a Tool Shop brand from Menard's and was like $7. I wanted a 3" cut off tool from HF but they were out. I had a 25% off coupon so I stepped up and bought the 4" version. Same as the 3" but a larger guard. It didn't matter, the guard came off. I know, guard removal but it seems the guards always restrict getting it where it needs to be or what you're cutting.
Between the 25% off, a pack of 5 cut off wheels, die grinder and cut off tool, I'm out of pocket about $20.

Looks like a decent set, I wish they would make similar ones for punches and chisels.

Christmas goodness from my girlfriend!
Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
Since this is our first Christmas as empty nesters, the wife and I opened one gift this morning.
She said this wasn't what she ordered but I would take advantage of it. I put down a Lufkin tape measure on the list and she order ONE tape measure.
However, the person packing the order put sent one BOX.

Tekton complete 3/8 set. Wifey gave it to me for Christmas. The quality is superb for what it cost.
My Christmas gifts. Metabo made in China compressor and Lux accessories. Also picked up the Gearwrench 84 tooth ratchet set and some Sata (APEX China Gearwrench) pliers and wrenches for the kids. All were great deals on Amazon even though
I don’t need them. Even though I have way too many ratchets, I figured I will give the 84Ts a try as my road set and wanted to see if I like the European style pliers handles. I was planning on getting the Tekton 3/8 ratchet but these were too good a deal to pass up. I also picked up some Steinhel heat gun nozzles.
Merry Christmas and sorry for the crappy photos.

^^^I think you got 84 tooth Gearwrench ratchets. The 90 tooth ratchets have a series of lines behind the direction switch, and the all metal handles have an orange line around them. The set part numbers also end in T.

Yep, you're right. I got mixed up with the Tektons I was also considering. 84T, I didn't want the 120T based on the feedback on GJ. These were too good a deal to pass up.

Nice set... The efficient use of space in the molded case is a nice bonus.
The 84 tooth is a pretty good ratchet, in my opinion. I buy very little Gearwrench but I have the 84 tooth in 1/2" locking flex. I mostly bought it because it was affordable but I've used it quite a bit now and I like it.

They sell them in Australian hardware stores.
My new tool arrival is the Hackzall. Compact size compared to a Sawzall. 1 hand operation.
So far in the week I had it, with the appropriate blade, have cut an exhaust pipe on the car, pruned branches, cut wood, cut a plastic barrel.
I love the Hackzall.

Make sure you oil your wrist before using this with one hand... I used the wrong blade and it kept snagging... just bout wiggled my wrist into pieces.
Awesome tool... my Sawzall is now forever in the nitch behind my tool cart... collecting all kinds of dust.

Oh yeah, they changed the design all right. I decided today to take mine down and try cleaning and SuperLubing them and wow, what a difference! The 3/8 one has a fraction of the backdrag it did and changes direction without fighting. The 1/4 saw the same improvements only intermittently as some of the sprag rollers picked up a bit of corrosion and you can really feel it. Changing direction is still a fight but now it's because the sprag assembly moves so freely now you need a socket on the drive to hold it in place to change direction. They had some super thick grease in the direction change mechanism that really gummed things up. I dumped all the little bits in kero to soak while I cleaned the major components and man what a difference. If these ratchets had worked this well when I bought them they would likely have seen a LOT more use rather than sitting in my box for the past 17 years. After my Craftsman Triwing ratchet and now these two I kinda want to open up, clean and relube all my ratchets. LOL

I got several new tools for Christmas but this is the one that I'm having the most fun with. Say hello to the inside of my half full beer can via my new endoscope.

A friend scooped this up off of Craigslist for me in exchange for a pair of bench vises I had. Everybody wins, right? 
Craftsman 8" rotary table, model # 25150 (made in Japan):
Condition could not be better, and for as long as I've been looking, I have never seen one entirely complete. This one even had the original hex wrench with it. Seller claimed it was used once and kept in the original box (above) as a spare. Having checked it out pretty thoroughly since it got here, I have no doubt that was the case:
Dang!
