What Did You Buy Today?

Snap On the brand , or Snap on the socket holders ? :big grin: And Will , I see you still have that dirty rag bucket ! :encourage:

I love my oily rag can! Was a flea market find a few months ago. I just use it as a fancy shop trash can though. It's made by the same Eagle that made oilers.
 
Yep , I remember well . I sit here every night at work and stare at one ! Same one ! :grin:
 
Will, do you use them, or just have them to look at? :grin: I need to look into that brand mine are Snap On.:rolleyes:

Oh and another reason why I have lost faith in the Craftsman name. When I was moving the sockets over to the Ernst rails today, I found this, stupid me never actually looked at them closely but who woulda ever thunk?

The damn 14mm 1/2" deep socket wasn't actually 14mm. It was laser etched 14mm & Craftsman but the damn thing was 16mm & wasn't stamped Craftsman either like the rest are. It was stamped Halford Advanced! :laughing:

Found one Sears that actually had one in stock (according to the website). Drove down there & none to be found, no surprise. As I went through the racks the 3rd & final time, I found a 14mm hanging on a 15mm card. Got it exchanged under warranty. Lucky me but honestly I should have never bought any of these to begin with. Maybe one day I'll replace them with something I actually like.

All my original tools are Snap On, my new rails are swivel snap, Snap On's. 6 point 12 point shallow, and deep 1/4-3/8-1/2" to 1 1/2 deep, plus metric, and impacts all shallow, and deep(different brands)
 
I have a few sets from Stanley , Proto and Armstrong . I usually use the Protos and keep the others nice and cleaned and packed away ( somewhere ) for the kids .

Speaking of tools , I got the latest and greatest HF mailer today . Man have their prices gone up ! o_O I'm hoping to see a turnaround in the tool market with some being made back home soon .

Yep , well aware of mine not being updated . Guess who had and has to work all thru the Holidays ? :grin: I have one item shipped to Canada and waiting for that to arrive , then back to the game . I will tell you that I have made GREAT progress in the last few weeks though . Mostly everything in the basement has been sorted and I think I only have 3 or 4 more coolers full of tooling up in the garage .

That left 62" Vidmar has 5 drawers STUFFED with sockets , ratchets , extensions etc . Most of them will be staying but I might shed a few pounds of them . :grin:

I still have all my toos from when I worked in automotive & I'm glad. Some of my buddies sold all their tools & they regret it all the time. Pretty much all my sockets and ratchets are Snap-On but I do have a few Matco ratchets. My combo wrenches (long length) are Matco but I do have a set of Snap-On 0° ext reach box wrenches. Love those things but don't get to use them much anymore these days. In the back are Husky sockets. I never use them but keep them around cause half of them are the only imperial sockets I own & they were my first set of tools I bought when I was 17. Back when when Husky was made in the USA. Wish I had a better tool box though.
