NicolasRamos Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I got my Knipex 8" combination pliers last evening! Missed out on the other deals from the beginning of the week though[emoji17].Also got this to try out. First impressions are that it feels pretty good in the hand(never tried the other southwire ncv testers), and I really like the flashlight. I tested it around the house and didn't get a bad reading yet. We shall see how it hold up compared to the ol' reliable Fluke 1AC-A-II.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkendall Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Had ShopYourWay points expiring and since I've dealt with literally every O2 sensor on my truck in the last three months and now my Mom's car has one that needs to be replaced (lesson learned, I will be replacing them all at once) I picked up a GearWrench 3/8" drive O2 sensor socket and it cost me $0.00. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwasifar Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 New 1/2" drill: For the story on how I chose it, go here: In a related question, here's a poll: how do you hold a drill? My whole life I've gripped the handle with my palm and put my index finger on the trigger, like a gun; but every advertising picture I've seen of people using drills shows the guy with his index finger along the side of the drill body like you'd hold a handsaw, with middle and ring finger on the trigger. And now a lot of drills, like this one, have rubber grips in that area where these guys are putting their index finger. What say you? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't justify why I should want a new one. I have a perfectly serviceable USA-made Craftsman heavy duty 48" aluminum level, and an American Level 48" model made out of mahogany and brass. Both of them seem totally accurate, as far as I can tell by casual testing. The wooden one is a thing of beauty but I rarely use it, because the Craftsman is lighter. But I might as well ask what kind you guys like. Been looking at the pick a while and still don't see what your talking about..... (.Y.)

JimboS1ice Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Will be looking to try various brands of safety glasses over the next few weeks heard a lot of good about uvex and these have a foam gasket and strap to become goggles or a hybrid goggle if you will Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a pair at one point but have no clue where they went. Are these a new model? I've never seen them before. If they fit the same way my DeWalt Convertors fit you will probably hate them as goggles. I tried it once with my Convertors and just couldn't stand the way they felt on my face.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair of Elvex with +2.0 lenses that are pretty much indispensable at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now I see it haha.. levels are definitely a weak spot for me it seems I have too many. But I really love the stabila levels have a digital one and I like those more they are obviously more accurate when I run header pipes on septic tank leach fields it always has to be dead level so I used to use a goldblatt 48" level which I absolutely love but when I went back to check how level it was with a laser it was always a little off so now I use a digital stabila and it is perfect every time. I am a huge Milwaukee fan but there new red sticks just seem way over priced 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
