I am thinking #1 was assembled in the USA with global components......

;)

#1...

Usa wood
Usa paracord clips (sourced from Bored Paracord in Georgia)
Usa stainless hardware
Usa drill bits used to make all the holes

Ok... the spacers I used to raise the clips off the surface... questionable source. Along with the nutserts. I also used Milwaukee tools to make the thing along with a Dewalt chop saw...

Not one Harbor Freight tool was used in the making of this Jig. :lol_hitti

In addition... no portion of the Jig has been labelled...

My contribution for the month. Should make oil changes a bit easier and a lot less messy.

It is for bigger vehicles, think semi truck, draining 10 gallons at a time ***** if you don’t have something like this.

You mean like when I change the excavator oil and have to be super careful sliding the huge tub out? I definitely see why you wanted it, that will earn its keep pretty quick I bet.

I used to deal with a rubber tote that was from tractor supply, it holds 10 gallons, I put it on a cart, then drained the oil from the engine. After that you had to use a scoop to get about 2/3rds of the oils out and then you could attempt to dump it into another container, almost every time there would be a big mess, plus you would have to set the filter in the oil, sometimes the drain plug or wrench would end up in there too. ;)

I have been eyeballing one for a while and finally bought it, not the cheapest one out there, but my other John Dow oil drain is awesome and you truly get what you pay for. I have a waste oil furnace, so this is going to be a useful addition for sure.

Finally got this SnapOn nut driver set. I've wanted it for a while, admittedly mostly for the colors. Also some nice US made Stedlin air fittings.

Dewalt tough case I got for free. Plan on repurposing it into an impact driver and battery storage case/box.

It was at this moment that we realized your lying.

Just got his in the mail. I have been looking forward to trying so I’ll have to do a test spot today.

I have the same one. I have only gotten around to use it on cleaning up some headlights but it should come in handy after we respray the Barracuda.

New jack, to replace the ancient Sunex which is now relegated to outdoor duty.

Test lift:

Tekton 3/8" drive deep well sockets, with a decent depth broach. I could only find a set like this (at reasonable prices) in impact.

BTW, Tekton sells from their own site with free shipping if you create an account. The above set was $30 at Tekton, $35 at Amazon.

Got these heavy duty socket cases and wrench roll for free from a friend. Threw my mish mosh of wrenches in the roll and put my metric and SAE sockets in the case. I added tack strips to secure them and made a piece of foam to ensure a tight fit. Got the Dewalt case as well and modified it to carry my 12v impact driver, battery and a few bits and extensions.

Yeah not their hand tools are USA made and have wide range of styles in about two price groups got these from home depot listed as new. I did have to use some contact cleaner on the hinge and then lube it with super lube. There was lots of grinding dust in mine. But not really an issue. The grips are something in between Milwaukee new stuff and nepros. Really nice.
Not a big Klein follower and didnt know they made these. Love that style of crimper, and the built in stripper is even better. And made in the USA. Dammit im gonna order one.

Picked up this Honda powered Simpson 3200 PSI power washer that was a repaired return (leaky pump) for a good rate.

From Zoro with a coupon. A little pricey but they're USA-made and I needed the larger sizes more than anything. Only used them on two jobs so far but the spline box ends actually work.

The final member of my wrench posse (for a while anyway - pretty happy with where I sit with this addition):

It will be a good companion for its little brother:

Before I found the FL80 I wanted on eBay, I'd bought the Icon 3/8" for a longer option, and I like it a lot. They both have good feel, but immediately noticed the longer meaty-area of the Icon. Will be putting them to use a bit over the next week or three, and interested to see how these two do:

$3.50 shipped on Amazon. Hopefully it will not bend like the others. About the only one's I haven't tried are the Snap-On version. I guess the warranty could help me in that situation. This Ullman one has the beefiest shank I've seen yet (optical illusion with the black shank of the Mayhew one), and also has a bonus magnet on the aluminum handle.

Ullman made some picks for Craftsman. These are hard, they don't bend, they break.

Which ones? I bought these when I went to Sears right before they shut down, I bought everything they had still made in the USA.

I believe yours are Ullman also. I was referring to the double-ended pick with aluminum handle in d.mcfarlands post, as I have experience with that one in particular.
