2 more for the channellock arsenal.


I think that makes 23 now, but I'm definitely not done.
I am running out of Channellock pliers I can find in stores near me, but plenty of places online carry a decent selection.

I honestly wouldn't mind acquiring a Channellock tool board to fill out, but I'm not sure that's really in the cards for me.

Maybe I can get a sign or large decal and put something together myself.

I have gotten by this long without them, but I'm sure opportunities for me to use them will present themselves.

Hickory, is that one of the pin point pocket oilers? I thought about those for a bit, then decided on one of the squeezable types.

Yes.
Those cost less,  but these are solid aluminum and sealed with o-rings so they shouldn't break or leak.

That example is only a couple dollars less than I payed for this, but you can get those in a 3 pack for around that price on EBAY.

Stumbled on some pliers at the usual thrift.  Linemans are sharp but a no name.  The Diamond pliers are 5.5 inches and were barely used.  I do like finding Diamalloy tools in this condition.  The Artisan pliers look to be used even less, have a great feel.  The ratcheting wrench is a Crescent, 10mm and has a reverse. Buck or less apiece.

Do you prefer the ratcheting box wrenches with the frankenstein button or the switch lever? Seems to me the pin switch sticking out the side would be easier to hit something and auto reverse.

Actually of the dozen ratchet wrenches I own, and used for years, this is the first I have had with a reverse button.   The others require flipping over. Will be a new experience.

Visiting my mom and stopped by my favorite store when I was a teenager.

I scored a decent handful of anerican made Vaughan goodness . The grey bar I'm pretty sure was originally supposed to be a Valley branded tool, they also had a grey version of the little cats paw with a Valley sticker on them.
I actually bought 2 of the little cats paws, but gifted the other.


The 4lb drilling hammer is probably a Vaughan second,  but I suppose theres a chance it could be a barco industries.
