BMack37 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 This just arrived, ordered it from Lowe's online. USA made Kobalt made by Danaher, it's like a time machine. Should have gone back to the Williams era...not bad for $16 + shipping. Listing says SAE but as expected, it's wrong this is metric and SAE: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-20-Piece-Standard-SAE-Mechanic-s-Tool-Set/1076353 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinkendall Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Sorry I've been so absent lately y'all, it's been a hell of a month. Well here's the last few weeks of purchases. Loved the kompact so much I picked up an RA! Also picked up some combination inserts for them. Also got a good deal on Amazon for the knipex. Still waiting on the 12" to arrive. Picked up the insulated bit flip, and the Klein 5125 for the helper/apprentice. He loves the Klein canvas bags. They are a classic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProThe Felo bits are nice. I bought a couple packs of the PH2 when they were tool of the day before Thanksgiving. They feel so light that I'm afraid I will break them but so far they work great.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he was on the Ambien, he was getting up and ordering stuff on Amazon, while he slept. I did the exact same thing. Several off the wall Facebook and forum posts too. Think I even posted here about it. Ordered all kinds of shit and had no idea until it showed up. I eventually had to go back every morning and double check myself. That side effect tapered off eventually though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That make adapter is tiny, mine is a little cord, but this makes more sense. It will get hot!

NicolasRamos Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Got some more freebies from Eaton, for being in the ECCN program for going on five years now. Pretty neat little set.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nope, everything is stamped USA. The ratchet isn't great to be honest. I like the Taiwan Kobalt (Toptul) shiny chrome ratchet more than this, though the USA ratchet has the proper tighten/loosen orientation on the lever. Though the Toptul is $24 for just the ratchet, $4 more than I paid for the set plus shipping and tax. That being said, I don't expect the ratchet to break or slip even with larger sized 1/4" sockets than included in the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsayles13 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I actually used my nut drivers from this kit last night for the first time since I got it and was not happy to find I had to use one of the extensions to use it in my impact. I'm going to pickup some of their longer nut drivers that are actually usable to replace them. I have this older Shockwave kit that comes with the longer nut drivers.https://www.milwaukeetool.com/accessories/fastening/48-32-4402 Also, getting the bits out of the newer kit is a huge pain.I bought a very similar milwaukee set and that made no sense to me either. The socket adapter is also smooth shank. I returned it and got one from makita that is much better Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felo is probably my favorite bit but online only kinda sucks, though it's a good excuse to get in on the KCtool deal of the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrmccabe Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think it was $120. I was impressed how well it worked beyond just marking. Watched him use it as a router plane cleaning out dados and tenons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
