I've had the ones from HF for as long as I can remember but they are 2 seperate tools, one with the claw grabber & the other magnet. I'm down to my last pair so I've been meaning to get more. Never knew they make them now with the claw & magnet in one unit.This pickup tool has a magnet and 4 grabber claws. 7 dollars from Walmart, mfg in Taiwan . Nice to have another pickup tool in the arsena, can never have too many of these items. Works great on transmission bell housing bolts, magnet helps you grab the etorx bolt or loose socket with the claws.
I like the General models, 4 claws and an LED, 24" and 36" models available. It always seems to be dark down where the lost/dropped thing is, so the LED really helps. They run about $10-$11 at Amazon.
Just curious where you ordered from. Thanks.
I am pretty well stocked on 1/2" impact sockets, but don't have much 3/8". Time to start changing that.
Indeed vintage Cee Tee... Jamestown. Crescent Tool. Now I'm curious why they used that branding...
Now those look very handy!
How loud is a small unit like that?
Well that’s a good question. The outside of the container has 95 dB LWA posted on it and the manual has 70 dBA posted on it. In my small basement shop it’s quiet enough to have a conversation. And full pump up time (0-125 psi) is only 32 seconds with a recovery time (95-125 psi) of 9 seconds. So it really doesn’t run long either. Time will tell how well it does but I’m only using it for pneumatic nailers.
That sounds bearable, might need to look into something like this when I am doing work in the house. I have a smaller kobalt compressor that takes a little bit to fill up but it isn't awfully loud.
There are much less expensive options available that fit in a similar format. I specifically bought this one due to the Systainer format. At $475 for the Rolair it isn’t a bargain by any means.
I did that also from my garage into my basement from my 5HP 80 Gallon Champion. I bought this because I recently sold my large compressor and wanted a small portable unit. The other compressor was way over-kill for my needs and took up too much space in my garage.
Dude, you could have just printed one....I now have a "wrench set" for my 3D Printer "area/room". I was missing a 9mm crescent brand combo wrench. I didn't need it... nothing is 9mm... but I had a gap on the new 3d Printed wrench rack.
