My shop has a beer fridge. Bought a case of this to stock it. Good stuff. Reminds me of my ex-wife...

I bought this wrightgrip wrench set in Feb. I really like them.
Bought Ridgid's new subcompact 3/8 impact gun last night. Worked with it all day today, used it in wheels, brake calipers and brackets, and even replaced upper strut mounts on a Honda Pilot without touching my 1/2 gun. Very impressed
Those are very nice wrenches, Spasm!
I got this tool on Craigslist last month.
$75.
I think it's for stirring my coffee...works good for other tasks, too...

Haven't bought anything recently. I think the last ones I got some time ago were a couple of multi-tools and Estwing Fireside Friend.

Never mind. I tried but don't feel like figuring out how to import an image.

Just picked up a couple new makita tools, first the brushless reciprocating saw the xrj05 and then the brushless impact XWT08Z which is the big dog. Both amazing tools. The impact wrench is unbelievably powerful to the point it either breaks or removes everything.

Wow that is a nice jack, is that like a long reach low profile?? I have the HF low profile and really like the long reach of it. [/quote]
I agree that a "slightly longer chassis" than average can be very helpful and was one of my major considerations when choosing this jack. My vehicles range from compact SUVs to full size vans, so chassis length is more important than low profile. The van (with side steps making it harder) has a pretty deep jackpoint at 26" in from the edge of the vehicle. This HW jack barely makes it with the handle still fully outside so I can get full handle pump strokes. Sure, a shorter jack will work, I have an older "Normal sized" HF jack, and when it reaches the Jack point, I can only move the handle 2" at a time Which is aggravating.
Hein Werner does not make any low profile jacks. Min height is 5"and high height is 24".
The chassis length is the 32", which is slightly longer than your "average" jack, but Hein Werner's long chassis jacks are 49-54". Here is a size comparison with an older harbor Freight 3 ton jack which is at 26" (Model 34271, bought about 10 years ago, was leaking from the main tank for almost 10 years until I just fixed it last week).
