New tools!

[PlayingWithTBI]

Well, I went to my daughter's place to pick up my new Otter Box case for my new i-Phone, she works a Target and got me a good discount on both. The only problem is she lives near the local HF so, I couldn't resist stopping there too. Since my floor jack quit and I don't have any metric impact sockets - oh well! But I did have a discount coupon on the jack for $35 off, LOL. Just dropped ~$200.

I like that pry bar, where'd you get it?

Don’t recall - probably Lowes or similar many years ago. It’s made by https://www.deadontools.com

Let us know how you like that 4 ton jack after you use it a little. I've been looking around at a few.

I don't have any other floor jacks than my Michelin one so, I compared the 2. They both go up about the same height.

The cylinder on the old one is bigger so probably has more capacity.

The new one goes lower than my old one so, I'll have more range.

It took 20 pumps, after contact with the frame, to get the side of my truck this high (both wheels off the ground). Pretty easy to pump up. To lower the truck it came down pretty fast but, with a little practice, I should be able to control it better.

One issue though, most floor jacks have a standardized 1-3/16" mounting hole so you can use other adapters like my trans jack. The Daytona does not have this. I may have to see about fixing my Michelin some day. HTH

I don't think I've posted on this. I love tools!! My old craftsman box was a complete disaster with mismatched n missing tools so when I was workin I went n picked up a new 44" box from harbor freight n began fillin it up. Got on tekton.com n since I'm an apprentice n the pipe trades I got the student discount (15% I believe). I spent waaaay too much so far but I really like these tekton tools. A lot are USA made and if a tool breaks I call the warranty dept and its IN AMERICA!!! Broke a socket n my phone camera was crap. I called in, talked to dude, explained what happened. He looked up the part number n I had it in 3 days. I wasn't in a super hurry for it but no hoops to jump thru and no paperwork. The online warranty is great too. Send in a pic of a broken tool and they ship u a new one. Plus all the 10% cash back rewards I got a bunch of free tools too!

Also got the harbor freight 3 ton low profile long reach jack to replace my tire old short craftsman. Love it.

Gotten to where I'm gonna need to get the harbor freight add on boxes cuz I've started buying more tools. These will all be my stay at home, never leave the property tools.

Went thru my old craftsman stuff n made a junkyard box to carry. It's the old "mechanics set" black plastic blow molded box I've had for years. Filled it back up with my old stuff n if I need it, it's in the toolbox of my 98 k1500.

Oh plus I went to tractor supply aroun father's day. Got my old man a brand new set of gear wrench wrenches metric and standard. Think was like $50 total and got him some new "craftsman" ratchets n other stuff to replace his wore out taiwanese tools he's had since I was a kid.

Snap-on test light with a built-in voltmeter. The only thing that I don't like is that it lights up red when you are chasing down power with the clip connected to ground. Then it is green when hooked up the opposite way. I would have done green hooked up traditionally looking for power.

If I would have thought it through, Those crowfoot from post #524 would have done the job. Hoping to have a new faucet install by the end of the weekend.

I get periodic emails from Speedway Motors, this one advertised "3/8 inch Stud Extractor". It looks pretty good but, it can only work on exposed studs. Oh well, if anyone's interested...

Here's how it works.

Speaking of Speedway Motors, I bought one of these LS engine storage stands from them on Amazon a while back before I went and picked up my LQ4. Bolted right on and provided an extremely stable platform for transporting the engine. Plus it's tall enough that the truck oil pan clears the ground. Just barely, but it clears. I thought it was $60 well spent.

So, just a drill chuck with grippier threads?
