Made my own from dish racks, either garage sales, trash pick or dollar stores.
That works.

Those must be seconds, they have a spelling mistake  :clap:


I didn't buy this, because evidently it costs an arm and a leg and a kidney! But I did get to have a play with it. Anyone want to guess what it is and what it is for? It is fairly close to 4" high.

Edit: If you can find those part numbers your googlefu is better than mine.

Ryobi HP battery + charger,  their little bluetooth speaker / radio, and these diamond coated bits to try out.


I've had many cheap bluetooth speakers but they're either not very durable,  not very loud, have a short run time, or the internal batteries go bad.
I won't have to worry about that here since it's using my tool batteries.

Those are nice radios. I have had one for some years and have gotten a great deal of use out of it.
You boys better hold on cause I'm gonna have to stand on it!

I have been liking it, my only complaint is that it doesn't alert you that the bluetooth is connected.

These are a lot smaller than I expected,  but they're going with the gun / airgun / fishing reel repair stuff where the size will be perfectly fine.


I think I would like this handle shape quite a bit if they ever scale it up for screwdrivers, if that happens I will have to try a set.
The shape kind of looks like the modern Snap-on handles, instinct handles I think they're calling those ?

I bought them from a tool distributor on Ebay and the cost was $20 shipped, a lot of distributors are still showing the Acetate handles so it might be a gamble.
The part number is HP-4A

The Home depot website has them for $15 and change, current stock photo so it's a safe bet.

The Williams DBEs are sweet. And quite pricy too. Nice buy there.

Went to visit mom again and as always stopped at the discount tool store down the street.

$10 a piece for these 2 Jackson D handle shovels.



And 75 cents a piece for these PROTO 1/4 square drive bits.


I don't really quite know what the deal is with the pin detents, locking onto impact bits ?
The PROTO website doesn't explain the pin detent, if I knew they suck to use with regular sockets I probably would have passed on them.

The price sure is right.

I like my Tekton picks more for general use, but I do really like the " complex probe " as they call it.
That's an extremely useful shape and it has already proved useful.
I will very likely wind up ordering another set, but will probably go with the previous Acetate handles.
