Replacing my 8" Klien cutters with the 9" ones. Cuts through nails like nothing
I did look at the 2000 series with hardened blades, but they don't sell that in 9" with the dipped handles. The Journeyman handles are junk!!!

Did you turn the 15mm upside down to mess with our OCD?
I know, cool name
I guess it was an in-house label for the now defunct Western Auto. There is a little bit of info here: http://alloy-artifacts.org/western-auto-supply-p2.html#wizard-westcraft
I believe my breaker bar is from the 50's or 60's and built by Indestro/Duro. It's marked "Forged in USA" on the other side of the handle.

That is really nice, but way too pretty for my work bench. I would have it nicked, gauged, scraped and scratched in no time.New 36x96" maple butcher-top workbench. Glorious.

Wrench rails. This will be the 4th different kind I've tried (Princess and the pea) Mostly trying to make the most of my shallow drawers. If these fail they will be doomed to lay flat in my box

Here’s a thread on Wizard tools. The OP is still active on GJ too.I know, cool name

My small but growing collection of Wizard tools (all Western Auto welcome)
I'll be the first to admit I know little to nothing about Western Auto stores so I'll leave that for another thread. I'm not aware if Western Auto had a presence here in Portland, Oregon but that doesn't seem to affect the availability of their house brand of tools, Wizard. Here's the first...

A fellow member was clearing out some excess ratchets, and I felt I needed more excess ratchets. I obviously have a problem, since I’m now buying known broken Protos. Anyway I was looking at a 5249 without pawls, springs, a screw, nor a flat cover. I had a 5249fwrk for those parts, and a gear from a 6008Rk that all work together. Now I have a 1/2” drive in a 3/8” ratchet. I like it. Not sure what year the used ratchet was, but the handle is a little thinner than the current 5249.

No yet. I have to pay in Canadian money so the price is almost double with shipping, duty, etc, bend over. Amazon.ca seems to be a giant empty hole lol
However, if the world ever settles down and our dollar goes up I will give them a shot.
I'm looking for the sae version of those....out of stock forever....just came in.......Mrs. Stir asked about3/8 inch drive low profile impact sockets. These have been out of stock for months, at least the full set, and they just became available. Lower profile than my regular sockets so will also use them with a socket wrench, but the best thing about them is the 17mm hex on the back so you can use a 17mm open end, box end or ratcheting box end wrench to get in the tightest places.
gift ideas...I directed her to the Amazon link. I asked about them later and she said they wouldn't be delivered until January....so I bought something else!!! I looked at the listing and it had China as coo. Does anyone know? There is an Astro guy on here....can't remember his name.... I was going to ask him about coo. Thanks for shaking my memory!!tig

That's kinda the point/goal. ;-)
Just like I have no qualms daily driving any of my cars. Or skiing any of my skis in early/late season.
Tools, not jewels.

I don't have that set, so I can't comment on it.
But in general, Amazon is terrible with COO. The best option is to hope that someone who posted a review also posted a picture of the box/package showing the COO. But then again, with some companies like Gearwrench for example, COO can change based on when the item you actually receive was made because they change vendors/manufactures.

You will love having the extra height, but you need solid jack stands to take advantage of it.Another floor jack. Can't wait for the extra height

I ordered a used set of wrenches off ebay a few years back and they came with a very simple SK wrench rack. Turned out to be just right and low profile. Here's one:

I have an Ernst 16 wrench holder now. It's really nice actually. Similar to the one you posted. I have an old box and it basically takes up the whole drawer. I don't think a reverse rack would fit. With these OEM/Snap on ones, I should be able to fit 23-24 wrenches deep instead of the 16. My Gray wrench set is 15 so I should have 8-9 spots left for others. Maybe a couple on the sides. Fingers crossed.

Today’s new additions.
I find myself constantly using a Chapman set at work, so I picked up one for home.
EDIT: after looking at this pic. I realized they sent me the wrong set. I ordered the 7331 and they sent me the 8900. Oh well, at least it’s Amazon and should be painless.
Have some bolts coming up to remove on my Jeep that I know are going to break, so I grabbed some extractors to have on hand. 5 piece Irwin set, and I wanted a set of external style removers. The Rocketsocket are made in the USA, and the projectfarm youtube channel rated them very high in their tests.
And last, some brass punches. I’ve never had a set.
