New tool thread

I think the pink is to support The American Cancer Society. Microgreen sold pink filters for that reason. Usually some percentage of the sale goes to the cause.
I see AM already mentioned something about that, missed it the first time. +1 AM.

Can't find fault with that. But i would just give money directly, and avoid the pink ratchet!

They could have a month or week where all the Snap On tools result in a donation to cancer research. They don't sell that many pink ones. I wouldn't care what color a tool handle is, it has nothing to do with anything. If others make fun of it that is nothing too. Guys just having fun.

Had a couple tools from Japan show up today.

Koken bit ratchet
Nepros 3/8 spinner

The ratchet is very nice, put it to work right away assembling two bar stools. It’s amazing how light the back drag is. Very happy with it.

Would like to pick up a short adaptor to 1/4 square drive for the bit ratchet. Had anyone seen one? I’m having trouble locating.

If you are looking for the short adapter like the one in the pic below, you might need to buy it as part of a screwdriver or ratchet kit. But if you are okay with the longer version, just get the impact adapter at any Lowes or HD type place.

I just received my Amazon order with the Tool Sorter brand wrench storage rack. This rack is ideal for those of us with small storage space for lots of tools!

These are my Craftsman SAE and metric wrenches nestled next to one another in the rack. Still a few empty slots at the 6mm, 7mm, and 11/32 sizes, so I need to go shopping this weekend... ;)

Bought awhile ago but installed the top portion today. So it’s technically new. Oh and I moved my box to a new location since we got a new tech he took my spot since his bay is my old bay and my bay is here now lol. Let me tell you this thing is heck to move now lol. Thanks to my coworkers for helping me lift it. I swear the top weighs more than the bottom. Finally got to have a big plier drawer and big screwdriver drawer. :).

Nice looking tool box in one of my favorite colors. Are they well built? I've seen them at HF but have not looked at them.

Very well built for the price. Everyone at work wishes they had a US General instead of whatever brand they have cause you have great add on choices and they are quality. Unfortunately I’m still out of room haha but I guess I’ll have to keep buying toolboxes.

Snap-on stuff from yesterday. He had just got the short blow guns in and I needed one for work so I picked up one. Had red, orange and green last time I missed out on the red and orange so this time I got orange haha. Color doesn’t really matter but it is nice to have the colors you like. Then got the pry bar set for $210 instead of $233. Probably didn’t need but it’s nice to have easy warranty and nice tools. Have plenty of other ones just wanted these. And then got some duck bill pliers in geeen. My only green set of pliers but didn’t buy them for the color. They are good for twisting wires and fighting with those pinch style hose clamps too. I planned on picking up a stream light also but couldn’t believe it was $98 for a rechargeable one 😳. I’ll find one cheaper online. Funny thing is kinda is I ended up leaving the keys for my top box at home today by mistake so I can’t use the pliers or pry bars 🤣. I would go home and get the key but it’s 30 miles away. It’s embarrassing having to ask to borrow hand tools lol. But oh well me and the guys are all good they tell me come get what I need and please bring it back which I always do just as they do with my stuff.

Oh yeah and my 3/8 impact came back and I’m out of luck cause parts are obsolete so oh well I’ll eat the $34 I paid for it and move on I guess. It still works just won’t go in reverse only tighten.
