Only $117. Wow, that's a bargain. HF will have to reduce the price on their $150 Chief air hammer to compete wth that.

They make a great air hammer, and I found their CS to be second to none!

One of my pet peeves on GMT900s is body clips over the front clip that are in deep counterbores. The traditional tool for grabbing the pin won't fit. It might look like it works here, but the small bore forces the jaws closed too much:

Just today I discovered I love the little Tekton pry bars for this. They work awesome and afford way more control:

Koken spark plug socket with retention. I was surprised how few 6pt 14mm plug sockets there are out there.

Tools. My dealership is having the final closing sale of the Matco warehouse so anything and everything is on sale. 50% off the already reduced price. The most anything costed in this pile was $24 and that was the magnetic socket set. I paid single digit numbers for everything else. Most will be for sale as I don’t need anything here. The knives are cool two Smith and Wesson knives and a NRA knife. Allen wrenches are genuine made in USA but they are standard. Tried to post individual pictures but all were too big to load. If anyone sees anything or wants me to check on anything just let me know. They close up tomorrow at 1pm whatever doesn’t sell will be given to the shop for the lube techs or sold on eBay.

Guess I'm on a Dewalt kick.. Took advantage of the Black Friday sale and had a 10% coupon on top of that. Saved about as much as I spent. Really didn't need the saw but I might toss the HF unit, it's never cut straight. Already filled two canisters with the vacuum, the boys have a job cleaning cars tomorrow. Been using a $25 corded vacuum from Goodwill for 10+ years Jobs are so much quicker not having drag big corded units around.

Finally picked up a angled sparkplug tool with a strong magnet in it. I was using a universal joint with green painters tape wrapped around to stiffen it up and hold the angle. Enjoy.

And Heat gun deflector from tablespoon and bailing wire.

They did not last long that day. It's worth $28.00 too, $15.00 was just more fun. It's a nice tool though!

A Lisle 3/8" drive seal puller from Amazon (around $11).

Practically bought a truckload of tools today. Lol. Dealerships final closing of our old Matco warehouse. They fired the franchise guy in 2018 so that’s how long this stuff has sat. First tool up is an airbag removal kit for European cars. I don’t work on European stuff a lot I may keep it but if anyone is interested it is new. ABR62 is the part number. Then Sunex angled metric large wrenches 20-25 for the price I paid even if I don’t ever use them I’m not worried about it. Already sold those to my buddy for over double what I paid but under the regular list price. Three stubby ratcheting screwdrivers. All will be up for sale too. Still sealed in plastic. I done the best I could to peel the inventory labels off. I also got tons more stuff but this is just what’s worth posting. Already sold majority of it cause I don’t need it or already have it. Lol. But either way a man can never have too many tools. Especially when they are cheap name brand.

 

[mrbreezeet1]

Are you selling the stubby screwdriver?
Shipping to 43971?

Tools are probably a much better investment than stuff that sits there, has to be dusted all the time, and is worth nothing compared to what it cost.

 

[mrbreezeet1]

Crimp tool for sensor terminals. For a cheap crimp tool, it does a fine job!

 

[mrbreezeet1]

Actually, looks like the insultation needed to go back just a hair.
I can see the last set of the little "fingers" meant for the copper wire part is capturing the insultation a bit. That crimp is still quite serviceable though.

A few months ago the Koken 3/8"dr extension set was on sale for a very good price at Amazon. Now Amazon-USA has the PK2760/6 Koken 1/4" drive extension set (6pc) for $44.77. It costs $97 at Koken-USA. It ships from Amazon-Japan.
Only two in stock as I type this.
