Tool Thread - Post up your new tools!

[MrBurgundy]

OOooo I should get myself one of those, do you have a profesh discount?... I am updating all of my old dying tools to Milwaukee. I still dont have an impact and that looks legit. Also, that battery looks bigger than the ones I have, hmmm

I actually don't get discounts on this brand.. Yeah, this is the new m18 series of batteries. The charger I bought has a slot for the new M18 along with the old M12 which is really nice sine my 1/4 inch and drill use the M12 still

It's got the friction wheel too so after the nut or bolt is free it doesn't spin wildly out of control. Even my Snap-On dealer recommended me this one over theirs haha

Can't recommend enough.

Set me back 430 with the battery and charger.

I'll bump it again lol

Super happy with this stubby Milwaukee 1/2

This lil mfer will take crank bolts out no problem.. Relatively lightweight and the quality of it is second to none honestly.

So my power probe 4 took a dump.... less than a year old...

anyone have any experience with this "amazon special"

Nice buy! I've always thought it would be cool to make an e30 Snap-on tool box with one of those boxes. The lids look remarkably close to e30 trunk lids.



Just a little rendering. Someone should do this and make a mini foam iS spoiler lolol

Never realized there was a tool thread on here. I work out of some older boxes that I find to be pretty nifty. My box #1 is a vintage Dayton (left).

I just scored a bicentennial roadside SnapOn box and a vintage Mac box (both loaded) for $150. The mac box isn't pictured.

Hey someone earlier posted this...was it a broken stud extractor?
I can't tell from this pic how exactly it works - it must be clamping the stud or there are reverse threads or wedges in there...? Anybody know?

Yeah, I posted that, but still haven't had to use it. It's a broken stud extractor and works sorta like the chuck of a drill. You spin the black part until it's snug on the broken stud. Then the force of trying trying to back-out the stud should make it grip even harder.

Of course now that I've bought it, studs have stopped breaking...

Looked them up....

"TRADITIONAL BOLT EXTRACTORS: Traditional bolt extractors force the user to guess which size the damaged stud is. They have a tendency to strip the screw even more and shave metal off without budging the screw, leaving you worse off than when you started. The universal design of this tool allows you to clamp down on the damaged stud, eliminating the guess work on a rusted or broken stud."

JIS Vs Phillips for those that dont know

No wonder I hate Philips. Mine are all worn and rounded and they slip. In wood I always use square drive or star drive or anything besides Philips!

I need to learn how to use it

UPS and USPS were kind to me to day. Been going though my main box, lately and figured out a bunch of my old Cman pliers and Screwdrivers have gone MIA in the last few years, so perfect excuse to pick up some German made goodies Got some Wiha HDs in general use sizes (7 piece set) Some Knipex Plies and still have a few more inbound. The Vessels are not Phillips but J.I.S. (Japanese Industry Standard for those unfamiliar) for the Toyota stuff I have acquired in the last couple years. Prolly going to get a couple more of the Vessel with the striking plate to go in truck tool kits.

I just looked, I got mine on Amazon for $40, not $20. They are $50 now though.
