I wanted a set of high quality screw drivers, these are on the way from Amazon.

Nice!

I have all the phillips/JIS (yes, I know, JIS/DIN blah blah shut up) head versions and they're fantastic.

I can't bring myself to buy the set with the straight blades because these get abused for prying and scraping so much.

I hear ya! I got tired of having US made Craftsman industrial screw drivers replaced with junk the few times I had to use their warranty. I wanted good screw drivers. I promised myself they will only be use as a screwdriver.

1/4”-1” 12 point 3/8” drive socket set from Tekton, 3/16”-1/2” nut driver set from Tekton, 2 Ton Engine Hoist from HF to replace my 1 Ton since they had the 2 Ton marked down to the same price as the 1 Ton and 2 Roller stands for either side of my Evolution saw stand.

Ordered a Dremel bit organizer, good concept, the layout of the holes is terrible. It will work for now, but I am going to have to do something custom.

Bulk packs of abrasive wheels and flap disks for the Dremel.

And a Park Tool grease gun. I especially like that this one can screw on to the tubes of Park Tool grease that I already have on hand. It also works with bulk grease with the included tube.

I'm not as old as some of you, but my 20 year old dykes walked somewhere. The cornwell filter pliers are "new" to me, I think $20 was more than fair. Oatey fire retardant pad, tubing cutter, and pipe prep tool, to fix the water leak at my parents' house.

Word of caution with the Oatey fire pads - if you get them wet they tend to want to come apart/disintegrate when handles. Learned that lesson last week.

My R1290 came in from another GJer. Goes along with the matching R3890 I got from the same GJer.

Merry Christmas to me

Let me try and shake it to see whats in the wrapper

Tadaaah!

I may actually get nearly all my tools in 1 place, no more going to 3 different drawers in 2 boxes to get sockets and ratchets. And the big torque wrench fits in a drawer!

Its a SnapOn KCP1423WFV, it was chance that they had it as part of a dealer turn in/transfer and it was 50% off. It has power for battery chargers and a drawer with holsters for drills and impact guns. I'm chuffed.

I looked at a number of manufacturers out there and when all was said and done they would be ~ 50% the cost (without the added features) but not the drawer layout (3 wide drawers at top) that I was looking for. I'm not buying another tool box in my lifetime.

Thank you to anyone who posted their experience (s) with various roller cabinets, manufactures, sellers, etc.

PS I consider it a tool as it helps get the job done faster and keeps things orderly.

Nice! Now get the bedliner top

 

[Shakes_26]

Nice! Now get the bedliner top

There's a heavy rubber mat that came with it. However I'm going to cut down the maple butcher block in the background to fit.

The craftsman box may just become/get modified to hold hardware-hardware organizers. so that whole rig is going away.

And besides, 'a man got's to know his limitations'.

These arrived today.
I had filled out a survey for Zoro and they sent me a $25 off coupon. Which brought these down to a reasonable price.

You'll like the vacuum tool for cooling systems. That looks very similar to my Air Lift system and I've used mine for nearly 20 years now and LOVE it. Works great to test for leaks before you even begin filling as well as works to ensure no air pockets are introduced.

 

[javyLSU]

...Its a SnapOn KCP1423WFV...

Fantastic! Congrats on the new box.

 

[Snapped-off]

Astro Pneumatic hub puller and wheel bearing kit.

Used them both yesterday and they worked great.

I just received my new Beverly B2 today... from Mittler Brothers. They bought the Beverly Shear company and are now producing them. Waited two months to get it after I ordered. It’s a really nice tool that will undoubtably outlast me.

 

[designer485]

Wera Kraftform Comfort T10, T15 and T20.

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

Got this at Rural King. They are closing out all of the Dewalt hand tools and I think they are going to be replaced with Milwaukee is what the tool guy said. Paid $2.93 for it regularly about $5.99 I think and I needed it for the Beetle. So I feel I got a good deal it’s my first Dewalt hand tool.

Another Milwaukee bandsaw, bought the Dewalt and returned it the next day, I think Milwaukee has it nailed with this saw.

I have that machine... I have printed about 600 feet of labels... yes... I'm a Labelhaulic...

Anyway... something you should know... You have to take the BATTERY OUT to charge it. Plugging in the machine with the battery... just bypasses the battery... doesn't charge it...

I've complained several times to Brady Customer service. Got a call back from somebody saying they will update the printed instructions.

It is a fantastic label machine... I added the magnetic backing plate and installed a lanyard with a lobster clasp...

Thanks for the info sir. I did add the magnetic backing plate as well. I’m loving it so far lol. Sure beats masking tape and a marker. Any label cartridges you prefer over the others?

 

[iSpark]

Set of Starrett drive pin punches, next will be the longer 8" set.

I use two sizes... both nylon fabric.

3/4"... for 2 lines of 20pt bold or 1 of 40pt bold
3/8"... for 2 lines of 9pt bold or 1 of 20pt bold

The 3/8" is for file folders or small boxes
The 3/4" is for everything else... hundreds of feet have been printed.

I also have 1/2" but don't use it.

If you saw my shop or office. You would ****. I even label microwave settings for common cooking. Inside a cabinet door.

 

[toddmorr]

warranted an ancient and awful Craftsman ratchet at Lowes the other day and came home with this guy, the 99426. 3/8 long pattern flex, 72t. Not bad at all. The mechanism is smooth and quiet, decent backdrag, although the head is thicker than any of my other 3/8 guys.

I have the same set, they heave a great feel to them.

I just found out about Strong Hand Tools. A guy mentioned it in a video I was watching, so my search turned up some fabulous gadgets!

I started out with a tab holder


https://stronghandtools.com/stronghandtools/products/other-magnetic-products/magtab-duo-combo/

I’m excited to try it out next weekend when I go out to the farm.

Nice! What are the brand/model of the white nail-in holders? Haven't seen those before but they look pretty nifty. Nice selection of tools!

Have the same set. Love it. So useful! Have their set of *****/centre punches too - also very useful. What's the model # on the 8" set? Didn't know they made one (but not surprised).
