Saw this Gedore T27 and figured I'd toss it in on an order and stick it in my chainsaw bag for my Stihl's. Only just noticed it's a "cranked" torx so I'm doubly pleased with it now.

Snapped-off, you'll love those zero degree offset extra long snap on box end wrenches dude. I've had that set for about 10 years or more and they are fantastic.
Welp, I added some more Milwaukee to my tool box at my main job. Went onto the tool truck to pay off my account, then bought m18 1/2" and 3/8" impacts.

Indeed. I had a set a few years back, but sold them for whatever reason. Regretted it ever since and every time I saw one. Well I picked up the last piece today to complete my set 8mm-22mm with only one skipped size (20mm).
Now tell me where will you use that 20mm?
With my luck, every car I touch will need one. Same reason I'm debating on keeping around any SAE tools.

Kinda a tool….I bought this fan for the new shop. Not cheap but I guess compared to some I was looking at reasonable cost. Seems really high quality and comes with floor stand and wall mount.
You can tell, just from looking at it, that it is high end.Kinda a tool….I bought this fan for the new shop. Not cheap but I guess compared to some I was looking at reasonable cost. Seems really high quality and comes with floor stand and wall mount.

Ah, no wonder. Just looked them up. That's that company that makes those really nice but crazy expensive shop stools. Price on that fan is not too bad considering how much they want for some of their chairs.

Aftermarket drives me nuts. You can buy a foreign car that is made with 100% metric fasteners and it never fails, the aftermarket will find a way to throw SAE fasteners in there somewhere

Every dang time! I love how the machines at work are Japanese-made and have all metric fasteners and then somewhere for some reason there is an SAE bolt tucked into an insanely difficult to reach place. And you’re left wondering how the heck that even got there except the designers wanted to toy with the guys running maintenance.Aftermarket drives me nuts.

Snap-on Thursday today. Picked up a Blue Point scraper. Need that for scraping state inspections off. I’m going to make sure to write my name on it as just about everyone in the shop has the same one lol. Then a hard handle regular length fixed head 3/8 ratchet. That particular length is my go to for removing oil filters or just about anything but I never can get drain plugs broke loose with them lol. And I’ve been wanting to upgrade the two I have in my work box so I have done that now. He only had purple or green and I ain’t the biggest fan of green unless it’s the combat green that they have. And then a spark test pocket screwdriver. Pretty cool I think. It’s another pocket screwdriver lol
. I’ll call this haul some early birthday presents to me haha. I’ll probably use the scraper and the ratchet before the end of the day.PelicanPines

Funny story about putting your name on a tool to retain ownership.

When I was a youngin... I shared garage space with two elder family members. I kept "missing" certain sockets... 9/16 deep etc. Kept going to sears and buying another... then it would evaporate again. SOOOO i looked in "someones" tool "tray" and hey... they have THREE 9/16" deeps... two looked brand new.
I started putting a dab of RED nail polish on my sockets, wrenches, etc. Then "Someone" asked me about the "paint" on my tools and I explained so I can identify them IF SOMEONE mistakenly took them and put them with theirs.
The son of a bit... stole my nail polish and dab'ed every one of his tools with the same color I was using. It made me adopt the use of bars and locks on things you shouldn't need to lock in your own house.

I ordered direct from them and they gave me $50 off and free shipping.
I agree their stools are nice, but no way I am paying those prices.

That's funny, I have that same screwdriver I bought off the truck in the early 2000s when I worked at a shop. I had no idea it was a spark tester, I just thought it was a clear handle screwdriver that looked cool so I wanted it.And then a spark test pocket screwdriver. Pretty cool I think. It’s another pocket screwdriver lol
Wasn't till a month or so later was working on a car & a coworker said to me why don't you use your spark tester to do a quick check. I always kept it in my shirt pocket. Then I looked closely at the handle & sure enough it was a spark tester & it worked!
I still have it but it just sits on my room desk.How do you use it?

Craftsman 103 floor model base came in today. I'm working on converting a bench top Walker 1200 unit into a floor model and I was able to pick this up as it fits the column. It is going to be a Frankenstein DP. It will have a 103 base, a 103 work table, Walker Turner 1200 complete head unit and motor mount and a old Baldor 3 phase motor I was able to pick up for cheap. I also have a column coming in from an older Delta that will allow me to turn it into a floor model.

It's got a neon lamp inside that works by induction or whatever so it lights up without needing eletrical contact. You just hold it up against a spark plug wire (with the engine running). Usually the neon bulb is orange but I think there are blue ones?
It also works with small flourescent lamps. Never knew that so I tried for myself & it did work. But now a days cars don't use distributors & plug wires. I have no idea if these tester work with coil packs.

Looked into this before I bought one- they have the same patent number on them. They are the same tool rebadged. Of course you're likely to get better service from SO, but the Lisle is pretty cheap...The YA5200A, looks identical to my Lisle tool 52000 scrapers.

Scored this at auction earlier this spring:
1970s?-era Rockwell bench-top DP, with the table/stand. Pretty sure it weighs almost as much as I do! I was able to get it down to my basement shop, but getting it back out when we next move is going to be a treat...

Got this portable drill pressing from Rockler yesterday. I have a deck railing job coming up that needs 480 precise holes for copper balusters. Looks like a quality piece. The chuck rides in bearings and heres no slop in the angle adjustment. We shall see how it does.

Ive grown tired of a lifetime of Mickey Mouse snap ring pliers.. so I treated myself to a " proper " new set.
I have a cheap amazon version of this that I used when I redid the banister on my stairs. The cheap one worked well so I bet this will really knock out the job. I might have to upgrade mine now.Got this portable drill pressing from Rockler yesterday. I have a deck railing job coming up that needs 480 precise holes for copper balusters.

Was way past time I bought myself these. Borrowed one too many times now whenever a connector was fighting me which seems to be happening more and more. I've been pretending it's due to the connectors getting increasingly stubborn even though I know it's that just like everything else they're getting harder as I get older. At least now I've mostly learned to know when I need these pliers before I wind up fighting with a damn connector until I break one of the tabs. If you've never used one of these before they really are a game-changer. One of those tools you never knew just how bad you needed until you've tried it.

I wanna know is how even do 'they' manage to orient the release part of nearly every clamp in a direction where it's impossible to get any tool to? If there's 270 degrees where you have a nice clean shot at getting your tool on it it's always in that 90 degrees that you can't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did the same with my USG 56" and a set of 2 x 8 ramps for loading lawn mowers. Without the wife for help, hardest part was getting it off the skid in the truck bed. Definitely a little sketchy.

Anyone noticed that Knipex circlip pliers sold in Europe are different? They are of rivet type vs a torx screw connection.
EDIT: Found the difference: The one above is the standard circlip pliers, the ones in the set are the precision ones.
