What new tools have you got lately?

[legopnuematic]

I had ordered an airline kit to plumb the shop with. 200 foot, 5 drop kit. Was the only one with dual outlets and gauges on the drops. Was $235 on Amazon. 3/4" pipe.

Came with 10 rolls of Teflon tape.

The machining is not bad. Hopefully this system will work out well.

And not a new tool, but a reworked one. My HF 20 ton press bed plates were pretty lack luster, these are steel, not cast, so I leaned them up and remained all surfaces and surface ground them. Way nicer than they need to be.

Finally got my tools I ordered at the beginning of the month the 4th to be precise. Not the companies fault, F-ing UPS. Anyways finally got around to replacing my pneumatic drill. (loaned it to a buddy, never got it back). Also got a set of 1/4 inch Nano ratchet and bit driver. My neighbor has this set, helping him work on his sons truck it is a handy little tool.need a chapman set if you don't have one.

Everyone needs a Chapman set. I've been using one at home and work since the early '90's. Great for tight spots, and a small easy (not roll up kit) with about every bit you need. Don't get on amazon....look elsewhere for a better price.

@Frankenchevy Harbor Freight will be having a 20% off any Icon scanner for 1/28, one day only for ITC members if you hadn't seen already.

Here is what all of the deals will be for the ITC appreciation days. Some pretty decent deals to be had, and no limits on quantity. Depending on what one might want, the savings would likely pay for an ITC membership, if not already.

Stopped by HF yesterday for a few things. The magnet came out of the bottom of one of my Braun lights and I broke it trying to tap it back in with a hammer so I was gonna just scoop another one (it was the old design, probably 4-5yrs old now, so no warranty). Spotted these new Icon lights and liked that you have a light on the backside as well, decided to give it a try. It also has a pencil light on the end. The little bit I've used it, I like it. The side button takes some getting used to vs the front button of the Braun but otherwise it's a nice unit. It's $10 more dollars than a Braun but feels better made. We'll see how it lasts. I did pay the extra $9 for a 2 year warranty too

I've also been needing some box end wrenches that go above 18mm and this set was on sale so I grabbed it. Been borrowing my coworker's wrenches. Now I just need to find a spot to put them. Gonna need to spend an afternoon rearranging my box again since I've bought a bunch of tools lately lol

Bought some wrench organizers on the jungle website to try out. Since I just bought that other set of big wrenches (and a bunch of other tools lately) and have nowhere for them, I'm gonna start playing with some better organizational stuff. I bought this 56" box 3 years ago, added a 15" side drawer and the older/smaller locker and I am FULLLLLL. Really would like to step up to a 72" with the side drawers and a larger locker but I need to keep it mobile so I'm not sure yet. Maybe if I can get my work area cleaned up from all my storage/clutter/crap I have laying around, I can convince our R&D head to let me just put it against the wall in a "permanent" spot. Then I could get a bigger box or at least add a top box to this one.

This set of GearWrenches is a duplicate ratcheting set (not the stubbies, but the normal ones) and a triplicate as far as those sizes. I think I'm just gonna take that whole set home and start building my home box. My first thought was to keep the stubbies but honestly, I can't remember the last time I touched anything at all in this set.

I like these green ones and they also make them in black, so I think I'll get some more and see if I can't consolidate my 2 drawers worth of wrenches down to 1 or 1.5.

Also got some ToolBox Widget DIY things for my pliers drawer. I'm about to need another pliers drawer lol

Gotta figure out my socket/ratchet/extension drawer cuz I'm full here too. It's especially annoying having the 1/2" extensions loose like that.

Something to consider. I use a small drawer like your pliers drawer,just for ratchets,another small drawer just for breaker bars and extensions. It gives me more room in the socket drawer,although my really long transmission pulling extensions have to go sideways in the socket drawer. I also use small tool boxes set on shelving for different things like pullers. Brake specialty tools,electrical repair etc. So I can grab 1 small box and have everything I need,to a cut,bend,flare a brakeline,r&r springs,depress calipers etc.
