Got these in today.


The screwdrivers are nice, but they were supposed to be standard Pratt Read drivers and they're actually master mechanic rebrands.
Not a huge deal, but having two different brands on them will slightly bug me.

Got 'em off Ebay.

Looking again I see the pictured packaging is Master Mechanic,  so I guess it's on me but I still got what I ordered and at a great deal.

Better find one befor they possible get rid of 'em in favor of Chinese Hart stuff like they did with channellock  and dasco bars.
For a Wilde pry bar the Walmart branded version is the cheapest easiest way to get it, shipping on this thing can't be cheap.

The wife and I stopped by Tractor Supply today. She saw the tiny Crescents and had to have the 4" adjustable and 4-1/2" pliers which is fine by me as then she won't rob them out of my boxes. Then I checked the clearance racks and over to welding dept. There were 2 of the Metal Man auto-darkening welding helmets reduced from $90 to $30. She had bought me one of those for xmas that has a US flag motif. She got me one for a backup so I can dump the 2 old Huntsmans and the other will be a backup for her work. I don't really care for the green and purple flames but beggars can't be choosers.
The last pic is the auto-darkening helmet I had her take to work to raffle it off for the guys. I had got it from the shop I had bought all the contents of and the skull/monster design is just not me. The plant manager snagged it when he saw the skull as a backup and then the foreman snagged it as he loves monsters and even wore it to Walmart a couple nights ago.

...Definitely pricey, but well worth it. Quality stuff right there.

That is a very nice hammer to have around. I have one small rawhide hammer I use on the mill drawbar.
