What new tools have you got lately?

[PrairieDrifter]

@PrairieDrifter nice shopping spree! I wish they made 8 pc sets of hard handle screwdrivers pearl blue, they look great. (I've seen the 7 pc sets but I want to match my other 8 pc sets)

Don't think I've seen an 8 piece. Does that just include the ratcheting screwdriver? I've definitely seen the sets on ebay. I'm also eyeing some of the Pearl white stuff on eBay lol

I got a new good tire Guage with locking air chuck. I have never owned one. The company I bought my air fittings from offered my 50% off, so I took advantage.

@PrairieDrifter the 8 pc sets have stubbies that the 7 pcs don’t, I’m not sure which of the others is different.

I have a screwdriver problem. lol

I got new air fittings for my air tools. I have been sick and tired of my air tools having that little air leak at the fitting. I did a lot of reading, and watching YouTube videos. This brand kept coming up as one if the best. I don't know if y'all have priced a higher quality air fittings, but holly crap they are high. These are not cheap harbor freight high flow air fittings, but they were not to bad on the wallet either.

Can you post some more pics and info on the air fittings. Brand, cost, best place to buy from? All my air tool fittings wether from Napa, or harbor freight last maybe one, or two years then start leaking. All are junk. Thx

Milton Industries. I got the purple high flow style. I replaced all of my fittings. I have only used my 90 deg angle grinder so far, but it seemed to be much faster. Milton does suggest using a leader hose on tools that vibrate hard. IE. Angle grinders, Impact, palm sanders. The fittings are aluminum, and I guess they would not handle the hard vibrating. I bought them from Milton Industries. They have smaller sets to try them out, and box sets. There are a bunch of YouTube videos about them. They were not HF cheap, but they weren't terribly expensive either.

My snapon budget has almost been blown already for the year lol. The Pearl blue is discontinued, and I have a problem, so I got a few things I needed/wanted. The Pearl blue is just such a good color.

Looks like they were cut from a bowling ball lol

That was my thought as well! It seems that swirl is only in the pick handles. They say it's an acetate handle, so it must be different from other stuff. I do like the swirl, but was already sold on the color lol

That's probably why they aren't offered anymore. They had to slaughter so many bowling balls and it pissed off the bowling ball rights activists. Lol.

The Hobo is discontinuing their Warrior brand of 3" cutoff discs (the green ones) for $8/25pk so I picked up 3 of those. Also picked up a new air/body saw cuz mine has disappeared, some blades for the body saw and some roloc discs.

4L80E Bushing Install press set:

There's a good guy 3-D Printing these and a few other ingenious specialty tools for various truck transmissions and axle gear, carrier bearing installs, etc, on eBay.

The colored plastic parts are seated into each of the 4L80E bushings, in the picture.

He designs them to pass through tight spaces or over press through the holes to depth. Well done.
Hammer tough with the new polymer he's upgraded his printer to use. Check him out.

It ain't exactly what I've been wanting, but it was affordable and it will do the job.

What I really want is a Lenco, but that's considerably more expensive and isn't in the budget for the foreseeable future. Like this:

I've been using Milton M-series for as long as I can remember and never had a problem with leaking fittings. Some of my fittings were my grandfather's, so at least 40 years old. What pressure are you running at your fittings?
