overanalyze Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am lucky, the UPS center is just a block from my shop. I know the morning manager. I just call in and tell them to hold my package for me and I can snag it after 8 am. Also the driver knows our code so he will leave packages in our shop too.

ChrisK Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I know my driver really well but the chump keeps falling and hurting himself. Must be all this darn snow and ice!!! I haven't seen him on the route in three months, he broke his finger slipping on a grate. This after blowing his knee. Man....I hate getting older.

ChrisK Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 So here is my new Rikon Midi lathe 70-220VSR and my first ever turning attempt. I got it assembled yesterday and had to modify the stand as it's actually a pretty big lathe at about 38". It'll turn up to 20" stock without the extension. Pretty friggin' awesome stuff. Next I'll try out the new router my beautiful wife got me! Sweeeeeeeet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Yellow Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 With so many sockets sets on the market, I really didn't know what to buy to replace my Stanley Fatmax black chrome set.The ratchet is broken so had to look for a new one. At first I wanted the DeWALT sets in the black cases, but then a while ago I saw they have newer sets in stackable cases. Couldn't find them online besides at Acetool (worldwide shipping). Had to wait a freakin 6 weeks or so, but they came today. They are nice. Was expecting much smaller cases. Got the 1/2" and 1/4" sets. Think I'll also get the 3/8" and the accessories case for these socketsets. Cut the week in half with some yellow is always good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Yellow Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks MM. More than happy with them. It's always kind of gamble when buying online from pictures, but man, this is tough stuff. Really like the ratchets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Nice score Mr. Yellow, have you tried their impact sockets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 hopefully its good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I do have this set of impact sockets from DeWALT, Chris. Talk about tough... I wouldn't know how to break them haha They sell different sets in the US, incl. the deep sockets, but they don't sell that here. MM, I don't really worry about quality. SBD can pick from Mac, Proto and Facom. I did look at Facom as well. They have a couple of sets with a case where the long extension doubles as a handle when it's closed. Pretty need. Couldn't mix red with yellow though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
