Does anybody know what this is for? The ends of the arms go together slightly as the silver bar moves down when the knob is turned. Was is a tool box I got at an auction.

True story, I have started to just send my wife or daughter to HF when I need something. In fact, I just had my kid pick up some glass bead blasting media for me the other day.

It saves me a ton of money. They come back with exactly what I requested and nothing more. If I go, somehow my shopping cart just seems to fill.

When Sears still existed, my wife actually banned me from going without her. I could have run off to a bar or even a strip joint and she wouldn't have said a word. But Sears........don't even think about it!!!

I picked up a few things last week…

First is a spindle bearing remover. It’s labeled as Mac but these were actually made by Lisle Tools, I thought it was cool it came with the original instructions. I’ve had one of these for probably 25+ years, it’s a great little tool that makes bearing removal super easy in seconds. I picked this one up for a friend cheap on eBay.

I picked this little jewel for my shop. It’s something I always need but never remember to get, my whittling days are over!

Genuine, internationally made, shiv maker.

Look what I found at Harbor Freight today to replace my ancient bleeder that is playing a game of hide and go seek with me at the moment and winning. Seriously, I am anal about my tools and I have no idea where it is.

Oh, and don't worry, my daughter drove me so this was the only thing I came home with....lol

Finally got one of those mityvac syringe guys. Works really good honestly, it has a relief hole in the top for air to escape when pulling out the plunger so it's not a pain in the ass, it also is lightly spring loaded. Used it to clean out my master cylinder, will work great for tight fill plugs, super fast plunging.

Also picked up this set of Allen sockets, per project farm's recommendation. I needed a good wide range set, nothing more annoying than not having the right size.

Where'd you get that set and how much? Been looking for one like that. And one with 6 point star.

The amazons, it was $60 somethin. Neiko is the brand. This is just the Allen set, I think I saw other types of bits, pretty sure it was the torx(star) bits, not sure though

Oh okay, cool. I might try harbor freight first, but I'll check out Amazon.

Torx! That's how you spell it. Knew that's what they're called, but didnt know how to spell it.
