Those 6pt DBEs are beautiful. Assuming Nepros?

Yes, Nepros.
Nice haul. What’s the snap on tool at the top of the picture?

That tool is used to replace ratchet or screwdriver handles. It does both the removal and insertion of the ratchet head or screwdriver blade into the handle.

Nice! You're going to like those pliers.
I have a couple of those needle file handles. They are really nice to use.

Expect a package from me that includes a Tekton hard handle screwdriver set and Tekton nut driver set.
If you could be so kind to take the nut driver shaft/blade and insert it into the hard handles, you’ll have a new best friend.

Only $130! That actually sounds cheap for Snap On. Sacramento isn't that far away either for me

And I’ll be the guy to ask: “What are those angled pliers at the top with the chunky handles?”

Long ago discontinued pliers. They are for grabbing rubber fuel lines. Absolutely indispensible when working on small gas engines like lawnmowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, line trimmers, etc. Makes removing and installing the rubber fuel lines much easier. There are two different sizes for different diameter fuel lines. Here is a better picture.

Some new tools from DRPD and a used Snapon torque wrench from Ebay. DRPD is a great place to get tools. I highly recommend it. The torque wrench is in calibration, but I am still going to take it apart and clean and inspect the internal parts. Then I will reassemble and calibrate it to hopefully +/- 1% accuracy.

I have that same pliers set. They are made to disconnect the quick connect fuel line connections for 3/8 and 5/16 fuel lines. I'm sure they work good at your purpose also though. I hope I did not look at the picture wrong and make a mistake, forgive me if I did.
Do you know who the OEM was?

I bought myself some ratcheting wrenches for my birthday. After narrowing my choices down to USAG and Williams, I decided on the USAG set. I didn't really care for the holder that they came in and I just happened to have an extra Ernst wrench holder. It took about 2 weeks to be delivered as they came from the U.K. Amazon store. Haven't had a chance to use them yet but I'm glad that I bought them.

I looked for a simple 1/2" shallow socket set on black Friday, and here is where we ended up.

I've never dealt with quick connect fuel line connections, but I believe you are correct. I just got them to remove and install the fuel lines on my small gas engine equipment. They have worked very well for my purposes. I saw a picture of them and thought they would work great on small fuel lines.

Yep. For GM specifically. They sold a similar larger set for fuel and AC couplers on Ford/Mazda. And even yet another one for heater hoses.

I was given an engine hoist from work that did not have a hydraulic ram. I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with it so it sat in the barn. Well while laying in bed with a sick toddler on Black Friday, I ran across an Big Red 8 ton double pump ram for $70 on Amazon. I finally got to install it today.

Yep, correct I have the A/C connectors and heater hose connector pliers also. They work greatly for me. They make them in a straight version also for 3/8 and 5/16. I have them. I don't know about straights in the larger sizes.
Ordered on black Friday price for $120 off, free shipping, no tax. For the cost of a tig kit for my Miller 215 (DC only) being able to have AC is going to be nice. Will be used in cooler kart 2.0 and a couple of friends projects when I get some practice with it.

I appreciate it. I’ll be on the lookout for them. The grips look identical to the OTC Fuse Puller pliers.
Schley are good fellas!
Just checked their website and, nope, not finding it, alas.

Just got this moved into my garage yesterday afternoon. A mid-90s Sharp TMV with 2 axis Accurite CNC controller. This came out of our machine shop at work. The y-axis is has been on the fritz for a few years, and after some failed temporary repairs, it was retired from service earlier this year for a new Trak K3 machine.
I have given the lead machinist in our shop a lot of help coordinating efforts with our facility director to get new equipment for the machine shop over the past several years (close to $400K in equipment at this point), and as a token of appreciation for that help, I got this machine for free
He helped me move it into my shop, and I made sure to pay him well for his time and expertise in relocating it.

My Black Friday hauls arrived for the most part. Firstly, DRPD is awesome. They hooked me up with a ton on stickers and their customer service is right on. My first PB Swiss swissgrip driver and man, that grip is awesome. I dig it way more than my acetate and comfort grip handles. I’m not a fan of PB Swiss hex keys, but the bits and this stubby driver are really nice. I can see more PB screwdriver/bit combos in my future. I also added some trim tools and those KTC swivel head ratchets. Those ratchets are damned near flawless and feel great in the hand. I’ll be all over the stubby once it is back in stock. So kudos to DRPD. I’m glad I was exposed to you guys via this board.
A quick KC Tool haul. Added the Hazet 3/8HP to my garage cart. I like the comfort grip a lot and the HP ratchets are my only pear head/comfort grip handles now in my repertoire for home use. Speaking of, didn’t know if I’d be a fan of the Knipex comfort grip stuff but I ordered the strippers to try. I actually thought I’d hate them but they are very comfortable. Almost fit my hand perfectly and there’s no stress on my fingers after using them for hours. So that was a nice surprise. Also got some twin grips. Still kicking myself for not taking advantage of the sale and grabbing the Hazet bit driver set. Oh well.
Lastly, I jumped in Zoro for some SK stuff. Got a long 1/4 ratchet, a regular length 1/4 ratchet with the new dual pawl innards and also another DT100 for the long ratchet.
