That little punch style cats paw tack puller sure is interesting,  I've never seen that one before.
I will definitely look into picking one up.
I don't need a 3rd Dasco trim bar but if that's the only way to get it then I'm fine with that.

The big Ace hardware in the city had 'em but I needed some other things and had some crazy EBAY situation on my mind so I didn't buy this time.

Got some orders in today.

This VIM version of the reverse gear ( HI-five ) locking flex head bit ratchet,  already used it and its awesome.


And these beauties

I swear my jaw dropped when I first opened the package, these are so damn nice.


Even a nice reusable hang tag.

Alright, been wondering how they looked.  As soon as I see one it is joining the old ones in my tool box.

The old ones ?

The eagle grips are not a carbon copy of the petersons,  they have actually made a few improvements.

Picked up this set off the snappy dealer for home use. Made in Spain.

I don't really like rubber over mould type screwdriver handles, but those do look like a good quality screwdriver.
What was the cost ?

Probably made by Bahco, a Snap On owned company. Should be good drivers

If Snap-on makes them they own Irimo in Spain so they are probably of Irimo origin. Well, technically Bahco owns them and Bahco is part of the Williams group but to me it's all Snap-on.

50' #12 cords. Had a situation at the daughters with her new electric chain saw. The one cord was #14 100' and the instructions said nothing longer than 50' so she is getting this one for Christmas.


While I was ordering I threw these in the cart. Bonney 5/16"x3/8" box wrench, Long screw starter, a couple little husky screw drivers and a pair of cold chisels.


Screw starter holds a screw much better than I thought it would. But I guess it is only for flat heads.
 HJ Epstein's has some pretty nifty stuff.

Those cats paws are great.
I recently got multiple of the Grayvik version ( Vaughan uses the Grayvik brand when they have cosmetic defects ) from a discount tool store, gave one to my brother one to my grandmother and kept one.
I also got a number of thr flat bars too.
