regopit Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 So, what tools are you guys hoping to find under the tree? I took advantage of cyber monday @ Zoro and I now have the Fuel grinder and the Fuel 7-1/4" circ saw in-route You will like both tools I don't think that I have used my corded saw since I got mine and I use my grinder to back cut my crown molding that thing is sweet.

Bigmikez Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Those aluminum jacks are awesome we use them a lot to lift sedan and mid size trucks when locking them on the frame rack for pulls at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK13 Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 @Bk13 i wanted the aluminum 2 ton. Still havnt picked one up yet.. I think they are 120$ishThe aluminum jacks are kinda cool, but the light weight is really of no benefit to how I use them. I needed the extra lifting capacity and $100 in my pocket more than portability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 So I might have gone a little nuts... I had a thread in the Makita section about a cheap 18 volt drill... well, I hate myself for getting into another charging system, but... Of course, right after I bought it, a friend returned the M18 that I kinda-sorta forgot about... Just what I need, two cheap 18v drills. At least the green one is a hammerdrill... But that allowed me to buy this: Love me some Fuel.... 2654-20 3/8" impact wrench. Thought I was grabbing a 1/2". Oops, I guess I'll need to but another tool. Dang.

BK13 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Then, I had to do a little work on the GF's Volvo. And of course, my tools were all across town. I needed a T25 Torx at 5:00 on a Sunday, so I ended up buying a couple of Milwaukee drivers and some Torx bits. One of them is my first ratcheting screwdriver. And some trim removal tools from HF. More Team Red love: Team Blue love: I really need to stop just wandering around Lowes. Impulse buys kill me. More Team Green love: A word of warning: a set of 3/8" impacts with free 1/4" impacts for $20 seems like a good deal, but WhoTF decided it was a good idea to skip putting size markings on them? A little HF love: With some older buys: Some pliers: Channellock oil filter pliers and Craftsman/WF duckbills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Just as an aside, the sight of my fatassed 6'6" frame trying to fit under the dash of a tiny little Volvo S40 must have been noteworthy... not to mention I can't see crap up close any more...

BK13 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Nah, if I would have been smart, I would have just gone with more, different M18 tools rather than a little of this, a little of that. I'm not complaining about my M12 stuff at all, but one platform would have been a smarter plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other looks to be one of there chinese lower end knives... Most kershaws undet 35$ are made in china, zero tolerance is the premium sister brand.

NERemodeling Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah. I was aware that the cryo was Chinese made however it has good reviews and I intend to be a little harder on that one so for now it will do just fine, I guess I would have preferred spending a few more bucks on US made. I like the size, design and the deep-carry pocket clipgood to hear that the skyline is a good choice.I'm sure these two will just be the start of a new obsession!
