Picked up a brake caliper tool to do the brakes on the Oldsmobile. Also grabbed a socket rail tray that was on sale to keep moving along with organizing my room cart at home.


This one is SAE impact sockets. I'll set up one similar for Metric impact sockets. Since I uses the impacts the most out in the driveway I'll probably find a spot to hang these on the wall or maybe figure a way to hang them from the side of the cart. So they will be easier to just grab and go.

Missing the 1/2" 1-1/14 deep socket I'll have to pickup somewhere some time.

Some Channellock 718 duckbills, and an Armstrong 1/4" ratchet for the collection.

a few small items from last week

A couple more NOS Armstrong goodies in the mail from Cripe today.

Never had a 1/4f - 3/8m adapter before and I'm not sure when I'll need it but I expect it to be one of those tools you'll eventually find yourself using once you have it.

The bit driver is a gearless which I don't like in ratchets but I normally tend to use a screwdriver in situations where I would see if I was just turning it back and forth.

These Ernst wrench rails from Tekton just came to the house.

Tim, that hammer head bit is the most useful air chisel bit I own.  Use it often for knocking things apart.  The shock will often break a rusty hold between 2 parts

I've been meaning to get one for awhile now. Just finally got one when scrolling through H J Epstein site

I have a GW stubby ratcheting driver similar to that one (mine isn't gearless) and have a bunch of bits to use in it. Haven't had to use it yet but expect it to be a lifesaver inside a window unit or under the van hood. Here it is when I found it, and after I found a home for it in a GW set.

Currently waiting on this Channel Lock 8SWCB to arrive:

Those GW ratcheting bit drivers use a 1/4 female drive socket don't they?

The Blackhawk I bought uses hex, but I was under the impression it required a specific bit holder with a detent or something so I went and found one on Cripe.

When the driver arrived though it turned out to have a magnet inside,  so it works with anything standard 1/4 hex.
The bit holder that's made for it does have a stubby little shank on it though , so maybe it fits better than others?

[bonneyman]

The GW drivers are 1/4" square drive opening, yes.

[hickory n Steel]

The bit holder arrived, it's kind of long but the shortest they had left.


And I just noticed that the Armstrong brand had pretty much worn all the way off the driver, just from handling it wore most of the way off.

Shorter male hex to magnetic female hex adaptor? I've got this one you can have.

You can grind off the end so the groove doesn't cause a swivel effect.

Thanks for the offer, but I had one laying around.



This'll do just fine, but I sure wouldn't mind finding one that's knurled though.

A vintage WRIGHT 2400, 1977 dated if I'm not mistaken.
