Got these from Griot's at the Picnic a couple weeks ago:

Wera Hex-Plus metric allen key set:


Wera Laser-Tip screwdriver set:


The tips of the screwdrivers are laser-etched so they grab the edges of the screws, making them less prone to slip.

Picked up a set of brand new starrett radius gauges off of Craigslist for $20!

Digging this one back up from the dead, I finally got some real tool storage yesterday. Drove with my dad 5 hours down to SLO (Further actually, Arroyo Grande) and bought some badass vintage SnapOn boxes. REALLY good condition for their age. Some wear, but overall extremely well kept.

The roller was built in 1982 and was 3300 bux back then, and the top box in 87.

All the locks still work, drawers are lined, and I got a handfull of misc. parts along with them. Here's the pile of few extra things.

Top box cover, two spray can trays, 4 wrench holders, a flashlight new in 1990 packaging, and two ratcheting foldout allen key sets. SAE and Metric.


Heres two of the pictures from the craigslist ad,


Yeah, drawers on the end, and a cabinet on the rear behind the front-side drawers.

Loaded up...Top box graphic




Got it for Nine fiddy.

[Shangsta]

damn you got a deal on that snapon box and tools

My snap on dealer is in the middle of moving and he is storing some of his tool boxes at my shop. I'll get a picture of the one I want to buy. I've been drooling over it for about 2 weeks now. It's 7k though...

My awesome wife bought this for me the other day. It's craftsman's better 1/4" drive ratchet. I've had horrible luck with 1/4" ratchets lately, and refuse to pay $100 for one from snap-on. In my opinion, this one feels just as good as the snap on one, and the ratcheting motion is so smooth and precise, not like sear's other junk they carry now. This feels like my dad's 40 year old 1/4" drive craftsman...

Just some shit for work. Knipex makes awesome dikes.

Thanks! That's why I decided to drive 5 hours one way to buy it. LOL Not really any tools, but extra goodies. Also got a squishy foam knee pad. I'm stoked about it.

I have one of those Craftsman Professional series 1/4 ratchets somewhere (until I know where all my tools are IN MY BOX! :hitler:). Love it!
