The ratchet seems relatively ok. I have plenty of quality ratchets though, so it will likely become a Christmas present.

The sockets are *dry*. They will get a wipe-down with CLP later.

Well now I know who makes the snap-on ones. I love the mini spreaders which I use for prying but I do break them often.
Thanks!

Not a "tool" per se, but it holds tools....Near as I can tell vintage 50's???? Can't find a # anywhere and I studied it with a light...

 

[bobemmerich]

Also found this package at my front door (which we don't use) today! Yay!

 

[bobemmerich]

I had a Stanley ratchet that had a broken pawl. Called them for warranty and the model I had was discontinued. They offered me a Craftsman and I said I really didn’t want one of those. They then offered me a Proto and something else. As soon as I heard Proto, I said I’d love to have that.

Called on Tuesday, just delivered today. Easily a top notch warranty experience. Told me to take the broken one to a recycler.
Proto Professional 5249. This thing is smooth as warm butter.

Awesome! I didn't know Stanley would do that! Good to know...Thanks

I bought an Evolution metal saw and stand and put it together this afternoon. I should have just done this from the beginning and skipped the dusty mess of an abrasive chop saw.

Picked this SPOA10 lift up yesterday. This was the lift installed at their shop. Less than two years old and got it for about 1/3 of the price of a new one. The new 10k lift is replacng my older 7k Rotary lift below

I was out killing time yesterday, happen to stop by AutoZone and found one of their 10mm socket sets.
I don't really need it, but at $20 it's cheaper than the Gearwrench set and the package said made in Taiwan. I suspect it's all made by Apex, but I don't like the newer made in China Duralast tools.

Anyway... I put them all on a rail with a few other spare 10mm's I've got rolling around...
The first 10 sockets are the Duralast set, the next 2 are Dewalt and the last 4 are Astro. So that makes 16 spare 10mm sockets.

Unless they've done something to improve it, that ratchet is horrible. I have a pair of them, and they both will switch directions spontaneously. Nice handle, but terrible mechanism IHMO. The chrome sockets they came with are great though.

I always wanted that set. Autozone never had them when I visited... today... because of you... it's in stock and awaits my curb side pickup... thanks.

Good to know. It will end up going to an in-law as a stocking stuffer gift.

Had a good day. Snap on truck visit this morning. Picked up a 7/8 Flank Drive Plus wrench to replace the one in my set that grew legs several years ago. The Wright socket in the picture with that is a new one I bought at a flea market Sunday morning and thought I’d lost. Found it.
Also had purchased a green replacement cap for my old Snap on ratcheting screwdriver. Cap didn’t fit because the handle had shrunk (it was OLD),so my Snappy guy just gave me a new one under warranty. I kept the extra cap.
Next was a trip to ACE to warranty a Craftsman 1/4” ratchet and an old screwdriver, then to harbor freight to warranty a long 1/4” extension. Good day.

Did your Ace not have any of the USA screwdrivers left? Mine still has tons. In fact I want one with that style handle and that short so I might have to pick one up. At least your Ace will warranty stuff though mine won’t.

 

[Raineman]

No, their US stuff is long gone. Its a very busy store. Our company does a lot with them so they always take good care of us. It wasn’t the exact screwdriver I warrantied, so they let me pick one.

[Cheepbeer]

Is this a tool?

 

[bobg03]

I heard that storing Snap On tools in a Harbor Freight box, voids the warranty..

But storing Harbor Freight tools in a Snap-On box makes THEM magical!

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

Got these on Sunday. Forgot to post them then. I needed the adapter because I didn’t have an extra one for work so I got this one. And the oil filter claw is to replace the one my coworker lost. Still looking for a USA Craftsman one but this one will do for now.

My old man has that screwdriver with the full size handle and stubby flat head. Sometimes it’s the only tool that will work. I would love to add one to my box but have never seen one in person for sale.

Love that color.

I have the knipex and they will cut anything. I have another pair from kobalt and they are horrible.

I wanted to get some Williams 1/4 SAE stuff to give it a try but NAPA ended up giving me a few extra bucks off on top of the 20% flash sale. Plus the NAPA is down the street so I didn't have to wait. Got a full 1/4 set (standard and deep) plus blades and a scraper. I added a Proto 6pt 11/32nd 3/8 drive socket, a Proto 6pt 9mm wrench, and some plier organizers from MSC and Amazon respectively. Pretty decent day.

You will like the Napa Carlyle line! They make some really quality stuff! There is a "show us your Carlyle tools" thread. It will give you lots of things for your tool wants list

 

[Magnum440d100]

Picked up a new ratchet. Put it to work today on my truck. Bought it to use AT work, and keep my home tools (don’t care if it gets used/abused) separate from my work tools, which I like to keep presentable (Occasionally we are in peoples homes, so clean and tidy appearances are appreciated).

This was the first one I have seen in a while. I used to have 2 that had larger blades, somewhere in the 3/8"-1/2" range, that I used for Holley carb float adjustments. They were great for that, but I don't know where they disappeared to so I've been looking for another. Hope I find one of the bigger blades in the future.

Screw / Thread Gauge Set.


Cleaning Brushes - cheap and USA made.



Vintage Stanley Drill Press Vise (Needs a good cleaning and rust removal, but is in great shape).

Who makes the screw thread gauge?

 

[javyLSU]

I’ve got more screwdrivers than I know what to do with, but that power blue is just beautiful. I might have to make room in the box for some more screwdrivers…

Really love the honda

 

[Dr.JohnnyFever]

Who makes the screw thread gauge?

The one I have is Thread Checker brand. They are very handy and don't take up a lot of room. That said, if I am sorting a bunch of hardware, I prefer a board / panel style.
