Ordered this Tuesday night, showed up today.

I saw that on Jody's channel and thought hard about it but then shortly thereafter I found a good deal on the Lincoln Square Wave 200 on ebay (posted just a few posts above). I'd love to see some pictures and get your initial impressions.

Surefire G2ZX. I'm a sucker for Surefire lights. I've been wanting to add a G2 series and this one came up cheap.

What is the hard handle tool on the left? E brake shoe pin tool?

Toyota brake spring tool. It's for the parking brake springs on many of their vehicles of the past 20 or so years.

My impressions won't mean much, I have tig welded for about 6 inches in my life. My SIL teaches welding so I'll be bugging the **** out of him.

I was also waiting for a deal on a Lincoln because they usually go on sale at least once a year but not since I started looking.

That's neat! Did you see my post about the different ESCO stands I discovered I have? Thanks for sharing

I actually posted in that thread a year or so ago. Just went back and read it again as well as posted the new pictures of mine.

Can you buy just this tray?

 

[gsingh]

Broke down and bought the Mercedes-Benz "flower" lug nut socket. Haven't come across them too often but I've been using a standard 17mm socket but wanted to get the correct tool for the job

Sunex 2714 is the BEST socket for those stupid lug bolts. The one you have will work on brand new ones. But if someone has already used a 17 mm on the flower lug bolt, the sunex socket works the best.

I’ve gone through 4-5 different sockets til I found that one. Full time MB tech.

Swapped some soft grips over to Hi-Vis hard grips. I think the TH737 might be my new favorite ratchet.

 

[Spanner]

Got a manual tyre changer


Tool Junkie!!!

 

[chappys4life]

Picked up a 1/2 flex icon ratchet. I wanted something shorter than my 17” flex gear wrench. My only complaint is no notches in the flex head so it just moves. Almost got a tekton but I prefer soft handles

Nabbed these tiny e-torx wrenches on eBay. Actually useful for removing and installing studs from some engines.

 

[Spanner]

Got this blower for work, impressed!!

Will it change tires also?

I have just the angle and the GM adapter/funnel. The only way to get oil in a new 6.2L engine without making a mess. Why on earth would they put the oil fill hole with and obstruction right below the opening. I thought it was around $40-50 for the pieces I bought, but well worth it.

 

[Griff79]

I have had this for a while but just hadn't unboxed it seems like good quality. We will see over time.

The electrical connection removal tool kit is great, where did you find it as I can use one myself. I am not sure what the other box contains, please educate me on the tool and what it's used for. Thanks!

I didn't notice a reply on this question, so I'll hazard a guess. I believe the "other box" is a hose crimper (probably hydraulic). Since the original poster mentioned automotive AC work, I suspect he's either going to make or renew automotive AC hoses.

Thanks for chiming in, I think you are correct.

 

[Fialaja]

Nope that was just what was available. Cripe prices really cant be beat.

 

[ptgarcia]

These arrived today. Bearing driver set and static wheel balancer rig for motorcycle wheels. The balancer is designed to rest on jack stands or similar and is well made her in California.

The sunex 1/4 impact set came in today. Wanted a nice set of 1/4 so I figured this should do the trick.

 

[Jack84]

Finally sprung for a new box. Couldn’t make enough room for 72” or even the 56” but I was able to clear enough space for the 44”. I got green, to match my wife’s new ride. Different shade, but still green!

I'm repairing an old R12 AC system in an old Ford E-150. I grabbed this from Harbor Freight: "Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector" and it works surprisingly well.

Looks great! The best color. Make sure you post how you set it up. Still working out how mine is setup

 

[demarpaint]

I ordered these to replace the 6 ton jack stands I returned to HF. US Jack D- 41610. There's a 4-6 week wait, I'm not in a hurry.
