Bremon Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 ordered more Knipex today. ES Cobras, 6" pliers wrench (comfort grip) and x-cut diagonal cutters. Need to get the 12" pliers wrench now and I'll only be missing the XL models of cobra and pliers wrench lol. Eyeing up the new needlenose combination pliers as well, they look handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtkendall Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Went to Home Depot to get this… It took quite a while to hunt down an associate because all 4 that they had in stock were locked up in overstock. This was the only planned purchase, but I found one of those elusive yellow tag deals on something I actually wanted. It's lock on instead of a paddle switch which I would prefer but for $50 I won't complain. Also picked up a couple of Diablo Cut-Off wheels. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinkendall Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Picked up some Bessey clamps at Home Depot and this little Husky parts box since it was $2.I also found these small hinges I had planned to order from Rockler for $2 and a small spool of wire to test out some wire strippers.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just ordered the FlexVolt sliding mitre kit with batteries, adapter and stand. I think I just blew February's budget! I've been so wishy washy with it because it's by far my most expensive single tool but it's going to be a welcome addition to my little workshop. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how you could go wrong with that purchase. Congratulations! What stand did you order with it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks @SetBuilder, they threw in the Dewalt 723 stand and 3rd battery. They're out of stock on the 723 for a week though, they'll substitute the 726. Should I jump on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProEvery time I look on KC Tool I think about getting that magnetizer/demagnetizer and never order it because I don't think I would use it. I really want that Wera driver but I don't "need" it and keep procrastinating on buying it.The Milwaukee 100' tape looked nice in Home Depot yesterday but I can't use those kind after an incident with a 300' Kobalt tape a few years ago.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not use it much either, but it was inexpensive enough, and there have been times when I could have used one! The driver I'm actually thinking of keeping on my pants belt beside my phone for a week. I'm always looking for ways to lighten my tool bag. That sounds scary about the tape! I have a larger kobalt reel tape also, and wanted to try out this compact one. It's small enough that I could fit it inside my back pocket, but I'll most likely keep it in my work pants cargo pocket.

I bought the 300' tape, went home, started playing with it inside, pulled out over 100', and then when reeling it in it jammed up. After playing around trying to fix it for an hour I gave up. I literally broke it the first time I used it. After that it was decided I wasn't allowed to buy that kind of tape again.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SetBuilder Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I went to Rockler today to pick up a Kreg top track. On my way out the back door I could not help myself and looked in their dumpster. I pulled out 2 tubes with stick on take measures. A broken wood vice, not sure what I will do with it, if anyone has a use for it let me know. There was a broken router bit I took just for the bearing. I also grabbed a new Band it clamp that was missing two pins. easy enough to fix. There was also a ton of brand new cabinet hinges, that I left as I had no use for and I know they would just sit in my shop for a year before I threw them out again. Looks like dumpster diving will be part of my regular rocker visits.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
