Really interested to see what you think of the track saw goodies. Been eyeing some of it as well but haven't clicked order yet...

Where did you get the blue and red thread pitch checking assemblies from?

 

[Strouty]

an endoscope and relay pliers

Those relay pliers look nice, anyone know where you can buy them int he US?

I saw amazon has some cheap import versions, not sure if they would be comparable or not.

I got the Autel TS508 kit with 16 TPMS sensors since I need eight right away for two of my cars. A buddy wants another four for his car and then I’ll have four spares.

I got a pair of those in October for my birthday. They get used quite a bit.

My lady got me a new and modern 12v impact driver. Pretty jazzed about it as I've really enjoyed the m12 impact wrench I've had for over a year. I'm expecting good things out of this little brother to my m18.

I got the Harbor frieght tool caddy for going wheel to wheel on jack stands. I keep it loaded with all.my brake job stuff and lug nut sockets. The whole point to it is so i don't have to get up and down 5 times.

Hi skulldrinker,

What is the Harbor Freight part # for that tool caddy?

I tried searching for it on their website with no luck.


Thanks,

Dave

I got these pliers from my mother-in-law for Christmas. I thought I’d put my size 9 boot in the picture for scale. These are some BIG pliers!

I've been looking around for a custom branding iron for any axe handles I make

Is that the corded one in the picture? Do you make the brand or order one?

HF calls it a "tool creeper" which is misleading and confusing, and makes it difficult to find on their website... But anyway, here ya go;

[ovilla]

New to me! Been wanting one of these for a long time. The timing was right as I broke my second 1/2” digital torque wrench recently. Anyway, these are really easy to use and you don’t even have to zero them out when you put them away.

 

[48548]

Very nice! I guess I’ll have to order one now. This is much better option than the certiflat welding table.

First Icon ratchet. Seems nice, wish they made this size with 3/8 anvil too.

Astro goodness in the form of the recent buy one get one holiday special offered to Garage Journal members.

Astro under hood lightbar model 82ULB, two 70SL 700 lumen micro floodlights, and a SLMCUP suction cup/metal adapter for your magnetic swivel base light attaching to a non metal surface. I'm happy, happy, happy!!!

A huge thanks to Astro for hanging around the journal and sharing new tool news with specials

Santa was good to me this year and I think he was spying on my Amazon wish list.


My first router. A 2-1/4HP Dewalt with fixed and plunge bases

Fireball Monster Square

And a nice used pair of splitting wedges from my father in law

Well now that I saw that creeper on here I had to go get one! ..plus a rubber mallet and magnetic tray.

My wife surprised me with a set of Grypmats for Christmas. I can see these getting a ton of use.

Bought myself a set of M12 XC 3ah Batteries (I like how these allow the tools to stand up), a Craftsman (Vessel) interchangeable ball grip screwdriver (first Craftsman tool I have bought in 10+ years), and Cat 1/4 spinner handle.

I traded my brother some Makita stuff for some DeWalt stuff to consolidate battery systems and scored the 20v blower.

This showed up today. Just waiting on the materials to show up to build a stand for it.

What is the best place for those grypmats?

Picked up a new tool cart as my main box is overflowing with tools lol. I’m really impressed so far with this purchase. Was able to get it on sale for $199.00.

You will like those Grypmats. I received a couple last year as part of the Garage Journal Secret Santa and use them frequently.

I got the same tool for the holidays, plus the 3/8" anvil as well. I have only played with it a few minutes putting together some stuff for the kids, but so far it seems to work well. I like your idea about combining the two ratchets. It would be a neat tool to have the smaller handle and head but with the 3/8 anvil to get into tight situations.

I also got the BOGO offer. Really nice products, and the BOGO was a generous offer.

I do like the 82ULB and 70SL that I bought. They really work well for two of my cars because one has a fiberglass hood and the other has an aluminum hood. The light is nice and bright. As I get older, I can't seem to get too much light.

I was surprised too but as long as they don't explode I will be happy. They are probably 20+ years old. Its not like they need to hold an edge.

 

[Deadsquiggles]

Well this showed up 2 days early. Even though it’s cheap and it says woodworking, apparently it’s a pretty capable metal working belt sander. Now I need to built two stands, one for this, and one for my Dewalt bench grinder.

I always wanted to learn how to weld. So, here we go! Small weld in first weld pic is the first weld I’ve ever done. The longer welds in the next pic are welds I did after about 20 minutes of practice. Obviously, I’ve got a long way to go. I’m having fun though.

Not bad! As long as they hold, right?
