Two new Craftsman USA screwdrivers from the Ace Hardware annual new years 50% off sale. Went to 5 Ace Stores only found a total of 9 USA screwdrivers left these were two of them. I need the number 4 Phillips for my Beetle and the flat head I just got for my Craftsman USA collection cause I didn’t have that one yet. I also found some old stock USA made dies from Irwin but I already went inside that location three times as had my parents and the manager said we couldn’t take advantage of the discount anymore so didn’t get them. At the other stores not really any tools I needed or wanted so I got some Duke Cannon soap and some other stuff.

They are wire strippers.

I picked these up today since HF was running their new years sale.
I have the double box end ratcheting flex wrenches, which are great. I love the length, but I didn't like the idea of using a ratchet wrench to break loose fasteners.
The standard box end on this set will come in handy.

Wire Strippers,..sorry I didn't see the other replies above.

Little late - Santa dropped these off for me. 
Bought a 12A variable speed (2500-8500RPM) 4.5" HPT/Hitachi/HiKoki grinder. Manufactured in China. It has a brushless AC motor, and this allows for a smaller grip diameter, says HPT. It has a grip circumference of 7". My 1 year old 10A single-speed (11,000RPM) Bosch 4.5" grinder has a grip circumference of 7.25" and my 35 year old 3.5A single speed Makita 4" grinder has a grip circumference of 8".

Love my Zeus, had it for 6 years and it's awesome.Picked up a SNAP ON Zeus auto diagnotics scanner/ labscope and the dealer threw in a 27 inch touchscreen monitor and the docking station. My Modis Ult scanner is coming up not being supported no more.

I get mine in September and open them in September... LOL... We don't really celebrate the Big Fat Man holiday. But I have been getting the Advent Calendar since 2019

New 48 inch magnetic level and a few pairs of new work gloves. Got the wife and I winter work gloves, and a new pair of "mechanics" style gloves for general use. Had a rebate to use and that ate up most of the cost.

Put a Christmas gift card from Lowes to use on the purchase.
That HPT grinder kit is currently only $39 at Amazon, which is dirt cheap. And it gets 79% 5-star reviews. But I wonder how many hours of runtime it can actually do. In contrast, the variable speed HPT 4.5" grinder I recently bought typically sells for $169, and I expect it to last the rest of my lifetime. Metabo-HPT does offer their power tools at different quality levels.

Personally I would rather have 4 of the $40 grinders and have a different disc type on each.
I’ve seen some photos of the Wera advent calendar goodies. I ordered a Hazel advent calendar. Turns out it was the 2021 version, but the dates still work fine
. A very nice little kit with a well made case. I was pleasantly surprised.

I have several "selections" of Wera Kits that need a home. I'm currently using a Milwaukee bag for most of my Wera stuff... I would like to segregate a nice selection of bits and bobs to put in this new bag. I recently purchased a fancy 3/8" ratchet/hex bit combo ratchet from Wera along with some bits and sockets. I have so many "bags within bags" at this point... I rather have a SPOT for bits and extensions.

Makes sense. I don't have any Wera yet but I quite like the bag/tool box. I found them online. Neat idea by Wera.

there were a few items waiting for me at the post office today:
2745UV Duro/Indestro 5/8" universal-joint spark plug socket (NOS but it's missing the neoprene insert.)
ZONA razor saw - more on this one later
WELLS W-1 tap set 2-56 to 12-24
PROXXON box containing a WURTH 1/4" drive ratchet, "Chrome Vanadium" sockets, 3 and 6-inch extentions, a Herbrand M23 2-inch extension (who collects older Herbrand here? all of mine is Triangle era junk. it's got a bit of surface rust on it, but the detent ball is good. let me know.) and a Craftsman "H" series 6-inch extension.
Sockets are 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13mm - no 12mm. Seems odd, but I don't know German cars, so maybe it's supposed to be that way.

I see you got one of the bit sets. Still unavailable here. The website can't even show a store nearby that has one.Some recent buys...
It was the last one. The workers said they were all out. Found it randomly...was not in the designated place.
