What new tools have you got lately?

Picked these up at O'Reilly's this Saturday, needed to do some brake work on the DD. They're only $8 for a pair and work lots better than baling wire.

Garage sale finds, large L keys, biggest is 1"

Not sure I'll ever have a need for the 1" but is certainly possible in the future as it seems my hobbies are not getting any lighter. They were cheap too, so that influenced my decision.

Not really a tool in the literal sense, but going to use it to get the garage organized. I bought the plans off a charity website for Gallatin Valley. Costco bin storage rack.

I modified mine to fit in the space that I have- going to secure it to the wall with spare tow chain.

Very nice, I built a similar arrangement and put it on top of my other shelves as I have the ceiling height, and a scaffold.

My poor bench grinder of 28 years finally gave up. So did a bunch of research and Delta kept coming up with lots of people being very happy with theirs. So I stepped up to a 8 inch variable speed. Still need to buy a wire wheel for it. Also while I was at Lowes pick up a 6 in one screw driver for 6 bucks.

Several other retailers have that same style of bin in several sizes. Walmart has Hart brand with blue lids and another brand with red lids. Used to have one in the bed of the Crew Cab to store fluids and bottles. It was too big, but I got the smallest one I could stand a gallon of antifreeze up in....
They are good bins though, and stack well if not overloaded.

That is something I need to do in my shop building -- organize, clean up and get rid of stuff I don't need. I'm doing a little bit of the last one at every swap meet, and selling things on here and the OBS/400 forum.
In my case, I have some of the homemade shelving (2x4s and plywood) from our auto parts store, that we brought home after we closed the business. One of the bays has a bunch of stuff in the shelves; one side of the aisle is parts for my two trucks, and the other side has my personal diecast and models, from several moves. I've also bought some storage containers in different sizes, from Costco when they were on sale.

Got a set of dimple dies. 45.00 bucks. From a seller in Katy, TX. 1/2, 3/4, 1 inch.
