^ interesting gizmo.
The "Boxo" name is a new one for me.
Do you know whether any of their product line is made in country? Or is the entire product line outsourced? Their "about us" kind of dances around the question.
If you're from Taiwan - then they are in country. :devilish: :D

I finished getting the last of the Ernst rails I needed for the time being. I have a few extra rails and clips if / when I expand. The 3 section extensions tray will have to go somewhere else when that happens though. I am very pleased with these rails and I should have done them years ago. The red and blue look great, especially with my white box.

After I got everything situated on the Ernst rails, I didn't like that my metric long hex sockets (SK made Craftsman USA) were still on a rail, so I designed a tray in SOLIDWORKS and had a buddy at work 3D print it for me. It fits perfectly and is super compact. I may have him reprint in black if he has the filament, the grey is clashing...haha.

try this again after resizing the images. picked up the astro last change hub remover bolt set. feels beefy and the jam nuts are def thicker than off the shelf stuff, looking forward to trying it out. and i need another push pin removal tool like another hole in my head but i came across this one on amazon. i really like the angle of it and also how close the pivot point is to fork

Where did you buy it from? Last I looked Amazon didn't show it as shipping ("in-stock") until next month.

I have not been overly impressed with Snap-On cutters for the price the finish work seems a bit meh. But man those Icons are bad.

I'm curious, is there is something specific you don't like? Do you own a pair or have you handled them on the truck?
I've had mine for a few years now and I've got no complaints. The fit and finish are on par with every other Snap On pliers I own.
Not sure what you're expecting (and didn't find).

But I've seen some bad tools slip through QC, even Snap On. There is a guy on YouTube called "Last Best Tool" and he had a few videos on some pliers arriving "damaged" or otherwise not inline with Snap On quality standards (or expectations). Snap On was quick to resolve the issues.

Lots of little stuff today and my new cordless tile saw with 2 extra batteries. I have a lot of tile work and it’s nice to have a saw right there, hopefully it has the power, review to follow. Picked up some makita quad drivers off eBay, it’s a shame they stopped making them. Some more snappy bits, great wood working stuff. Also got a 1/4” Milwaukee rt angle doe grinder, just tried it this am, not bad but the cordless convenience is great, ordering a straight one, i think the straight would be better with cut off wheels.

I have a couple sizes of adjustable pliers and some needle pliers that are great. The diagonal cutters have been a bit “meh” for the price. Sharp handle edges, super stiff, a ton of metal chips and grit left in the joint. Don’t get me wrong they are by no means bad and they are built like a tank. I’m sure they will last forever. I think I just expected a bit more refinement.

Greetings from Germany

Any good online source other than tbs and amazon.de? Although I'm covered with Hazet locally, Stahlwille has zero presence in Greece and was looking to get that ratchet in 1/4 and 1/2".

I found at the time I bought mine that misterworker.com had the best price for me in the US. It might be worth a look.

Snap-on Tuesday today. My favorite day of the week. Got the last pocket pry bar. Everyone was grabbing them left and right so all that was left was orange LOL. But that’s ok as everyone knows I have lots of orange. Also picked up a set of metric flare nut wrenches as well. I believe Snap-on does them best. I figured on those buy once, cry once.

making me jealous Blakethecarguy. Snap on 6 pt flare wrenches the only flare wrenches worth buying according to GJ consensus. Looking at those I now have buyer's remorse on the SKs I got off of ebay.

SKs will do ya just fine
Thanks. Yea will **** up my tool envy in all likelihood. Have Snap on 12 pts thanks to a drunken eBay purchase. They slip and spread though.

Bought these Sunex metric mid depths finally. Somehow they are hitting low prices as per the camel when prices are rising on just about everything else. Already ditched the case as they fit a magrail I had on hand perfectly. Lots of sunex oil still on them.

I think the SK’s are fine. I’d like to upgrade my craftsman raised panels to SK’s or the craftsman professionals made by SK. I just don’t use them very often. I’m not a pro.
