Yep, I just snagged another 45170, and after a days soak in JAFE juice it's a s free as a bird. Already have prolly half a dozen of the things but for $2 I couldn't leave it.  :D

Bought a small lot off macaxis recently ( that $25 I lost ended up being found and mailed and he got it  ) which arrived today.

Here's what I bought, 2 DC&H 5" slipjoint pliers, a Dimaloy 4" adjustable, a Crescent 4" adjustable ,Dimaloy "4 dykes which are smooth as butter, and a Craftsman 9" auto wrench.

As a bonus he tossed in this little finger screwdriver and an indestro 1/4" flex handle.

I'm definitely happy, especially that the money got lost and was found then dropped off at the post office.
The two unexpected toss-ins are welcomed.
I've never seen another fingertip screwdriver just like this one and I think it's pretty cool.
If I had to guess based on the look of the tip / shank I'd guess Harold or Rosco as the manufacturer but it could have been anybody.

Broke down, got some new meter leads, came with a slick trick. For tight spots the lead has a builtin insulator that slides down the tip .

 Shown is retract and full down, it can be adjusted or positioned at any point in between.

Not bad someone was thinking

It looks very similar (but not identical) to the ones Snap-On sold in the '80s and '90s.

I have a pair, flat and phillips. SD 11A and SDP 11.

Maybe 20 bucks was not as I was expecting, pleasantly surprised. Fluke .. well you get what you pay for, and not wasting $$$ owning one, buy once last long time.

Yeah, fluke makes some nice leads.  Have had a few Fluke lead kits come through and they sell well to those who know.

Those are good leads. they came with my 116/323 kit. been using them for 6 years no issues.

I like the length most

Interesting, I never imagined such a tool from SNAP-ON.
They look more refined than this one for sure.
