hickory n Steel:
This was originally just some screwdrivers I bought but then I bought something else today and posted it here, so I decided to change it.
Now instead of making a thread every time you pick something up, just post it here in this one.
I'm weak, if the local hardware has an American made tool I think I can use I'll buy it.
I'm not one of those " for what it is " types it may be a bit high for what I got but $26 won't break the bank.
Anyways here's what I bought, I didn't have a set of precision screwdrivers besides the little cheapie Stanley's in my house box.
The butt caps all spin pretty freely , the shanks are all straight and the tips are very well ground.
I don't have tons of experience with precision screwdrivers as I'm no electronics tech or anything but I like them so far.
I'm thinking I'll come up with a rack for these that can attach to my begboard, maybe a piece of pvc with holes In it or something.

Those can really save the day when working on some items. They won't tear up the fasteners like the cheapie ones.

The little $3 Stanley sets have been good to me for occasional use, but they're really just good for the price.
These seem miles ahead.

Threw together a quick rack for them to sit on my work bench , I had the piece of plastic laying around so I don't really know but it looks a lot like PVC.
anyways they'll go on my workbench when i get cleaned off, I let it become a mess but I'm going to need it to work on a couple vintage airguns sometime next week or so.
Staying clean and organized with me reminds me of a Paul thorn song.

I needed a punch for something earlier and decided i should go ahead and get a set instead of making do with whatever I've got so I picked these up at the hardware store.
In my limited experience with Dasco punches the backs are soft but the tips are fine, theyre priced well so that's what I bought.
I also need a set of roll pin punches, but I think I'll splurge next week and spend the $40 on a 12pc set of Mayhews from Cripe distributing.
Since basically all roll pins are hard, I think it'll be worth it to go with the Mayhews.
The Dasco punches won't always be hitting hardened pins I don't imagine so they will be fine, but for airgun roll pins I want something better.
