Set of finger wrenches. Looked at these from Matco but for $200, no way.
Then I saw these from VIM for $72, but still more than I want to spend for something I may only use a few times a year.
Ended up getting these off Amazon for $36. More sizes plus some attachments for half the price. Quality feels pretty good for Chineseum.

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
Old drawer layout
New layout. I have all of my wrenches in one drawer now minus a few on a cart. OEM for the win!

Dang… those look like they are the same manufacturer who made my favorite Napa Carlyle ratchets. I have the short 3/8 locking version and want to get the longer locking version

That looks identical, other than handle color, to the Mueller-Kueps/Matco set that I have. They work greatm, you'll like that gasket scraper.

You can probably add Titan and Lisle versions to the mix too.

These have been on my want list for a while now. I had some Amazon Prime rewards points burning a hole in my pocket so I got these Knipex Forged Wire Strippers (13 71 8). Like all of other Knipex pliers I have, these are fantastic.

Stopped by TSC for a grease gun needle and the lady at the register said I had a $10 rewards to use. So I looked around for something else. I came back to register with this small driver set from Gearwrench for $10.99.
Here's the sizes....

Wiha goodness courtesy of Lowe’s. On sale for $19.99 each. Thinking ahead, I picked up a screwdriver set for my dad for his birthday in May as he is still using old craftsman acetate handles at 84 years young. Time for him to get his hands on a comfortable set of screwdrivers with good tips.

Picked up a couple more on the 3/8" power fist ratchets that are on sale at Princess auto and a Lisle scrub brush for calipers. Also a thread checker. I'm fine with SAE but not so good on guessing metric sizing.
Went to Lowe's and bought two packs, one for me and one as a gift. Thanks for the heads up on these. It's nice they are made in Germany and not Viet Nam like a lot of their stuff.
Not brand new, but NOS.
Picked up with Ace Hanson tap and die set from eBay. Can't beat the assortment for just over $40 and free shipping.
Slight rusting on the thread pitch gauge and the die handle has some slight corrosion, but everything else is as new. Hard to beat!

This just showed up addressed to me. Not sure from who but whoever sent it thank you. And it was under my forum name so it had to be someone here. It’s from JBTools. But I’m very appreciative whoever sent this. In a way it’s kind of too pretty to use lol. It’s nice to have a new addition to the box haven’t had any in a few weeks.

Last time I bought HF zip ties I punched myself in the face by accident tightening up the zip tie - while is failed. I thought I lost a tooth. The truck was on the lift, and I was doing some chassis wiring. After this I only bought Ideal or Greenlee ones.

Received this bench top lathe from my SIL for Christmas. After picking it up in September at a yard sale he did as much as possible to make it as tight as possible, installed a DC treadmill motor and controller he made so it is now variable speed. He also made a new dial on the crosslide that you can read plus a new base for it to sit on. He did a bunch of other things to make it better than new.
BTW It's a Craftsman.

I bought this Bosch router about a week before Xmas. I have an old Craftsman mounted in a table and a Makita laminate trimmer. My wife was with me and pushed for me to buy it. She asked when I was first planning on using the router. Answer was in the New Year. At home she grabs it and says I’ll get it for Christmas. Guess she didn’t like my other potential gift ideas.

Bought this off ebay, assumed it was used, seller didn’t say it was new, so it was a nice surprise. A Stanley hinge **** template set, new in original box with receipt.

I’m not from up north but had a friend who was last winter. They picked me up the locking flex head 1/4” drive long handle. Same ratchet as Napa Carlyle locking flexhead’s. Fed, if I remember correctly, you or Mr. B said they were Tone made. Very nice and price is cheap. The 1/4” ran me about $30 vs what Napa was asking. No comfort grip though. Made in Taiwan. I’ll measure my 1/4” long handle tomorrow and report. I’m thinking it is 12” if I remember correctly.Hey, How long are those Power Fist locking 3/8 drive flex head ratchets?

I finally broke down and bought a shop press. For the limited use it will likely see, this HF 20T should serve me fine. And, it was on sale with a coupon.

They're at work right now but according to the site just under 13" I can't eitther. I'm trying to get a few of the 1/4" and 3/8" They'll vanish at some point.

They say it's the thought that counts. So, if I had thought to send you something like that it would have been this one

Zip ties and Icon wrenches, used a 20% no exclusion coupon.
Are the HF zip ties any good? I’ve always been afraid to try them.

If their zip ties are like their hose clamps, run away from them

That would be me, but there was no way to get it into the package that I sent to you previously, so I had it drop shipped directly to you.
It should have had a note in it. Apparently they dropped the ball on that part. Merry Christmas! BK
