I'm guessing those tongue and grooves were likely made by WILDE ?
Great score, I don't particularly go for Klein tools but they're just not a brand I have really given much thought to for no real reason.

I believe they were made by Klein.

I believe they were made by Klein.

You think they made those in house ?

You pushed me over the edge, and I just had to try a current pair.

Compared to my old pair, theres a noticeable difference in cutting performance but it's not major.
I don't think I would pay more for the XLT technology if they offered them with and without it, but I'm sure if you're using them for hours a day it makes a difference.

I don't mind the coarser finish on current Channellock tools, they're doing what they gotta do to stay in business,  and their pliers still have the quality where it counts.

I have to pick it up tomorrow morning because they had to order it,  but I bought a 3/8 deflection beam torque wrench at the local auto parts house ( a place called Boyd's parts house,  but technically it's a NAPA franchise).



I have a pair of Coleman bt200x minibikes arriving tomorrow,  and I realized I actually didn't have a torque wrench which I'll need to get all the fasteners torqued down properly.

I have yet to need one before and I'm not sure how often I'll ever need it so I just bought a cheap $20 model, and I figured a beam type shoumd be about bulletproof.
if I find the need I'll upgrade to something better down the road.

I bought this really cool reusable hangtag. It came with a bonus 36" USA made prybar with a striker cap.

Got these at lowes. For the home tool cart. Can't say for all their hand tools, but it looked as a majority is made in Taiwan instead of china. Guess that's a step up. Seem pretty good quality. Had a decision between 72 tooth and 120 tooth. Like the handle/look on the comfort grip 72 tooth, but I decided to go with the 120 tooth. Would have liked an 80 or 90 tooth honestly.

I had one of those, but I lost it.
At least the free WILDE made 36" handle pry bar it came with has come in quite handy.
Honestly I found myself using it more than the 8", 12", or 16" inch ( I don't remember the exact lengths , but I definitely have most of the sizes )

Decided I needed a port band in my life. Wanted a deep cut milwaukee, but found this cherry rockwell on da bay that get me started.

That's a beauty Greyson. My neighbor cuts all his steel for projects with a Milwaukee deep cut.

That looks new! Nice grab.

I really quite like these little DASCO prybar scraper combos, so I picked up another to replace the standard 5-1/2" dasco pry bar I carry at work.

The saw guide is something I've needed for a while.

I bought this oddly sized Western Forge 4in adjustable.

It's a little more than just a large 4in but a little less than just a stubby.

The head size is about the same as their 6in but it has about 75% of the jaw capacity.
The max jaw capacity is 11/16.


It has a slightly larger capacity than my MAC AW4 which has the largest capacity of all my 4in adjustables.

I'll have to put it in my pocket awhile and see how it works out, but on first impressions I do like the idea of it for making quick adjustments on my Coleman Bt200x mini trail bike.

Just found a 1920s ignition wrench set, in the oil cloth roll.   Have a similar set where the tools are marked, Bosch, Delco, and Splitdorf, but these are plain save for 2  marked Delco.  3 even have attached feeler gauges.

And as always I had to buy something American made.

I gifted my last 17" WILDE handle prybar before I even used it so I picked up another, and the Gerber Prodigy belt knife I plan to be my beater / utility blade while I'm out exploring and riding the trails on my Coleman bt200x.
Not normally my style because it's pretty thick and I'm definitely a traditional knife kind of guy, but it's not too overly modern and " Tacticool " looking for my taste.
I'd prefer something with a keener edge profile because I won't be pounding on it, but the versatility of the sheath kind of sold it for me.
If it doesn't work out I can always just go with my Buck 119 special or pick up an ONTARIO pilots surval knife.
