I tempted to grab a set! All I see is the deep version set at the moment.

That's money well spent right there. No other manufacturer makes swivel sockets that turn at such a high angle without binding.
I wanted a set of these and not break the bank, I got a good deal on Ebay. Proto Blackhawk 3/8" Impact Universal Swivel Flex Socket Set Metric 12 piece- (U-1512MS)
Our friend @The Critic is attempting to make me a wrench. Probably above his paygrade... Ha!
Gonna give it a shot on the Tundra later this week, time permitting. A huge thanks to @The Critic !

Gotta be a perissions thing. I see the pic in your reply. It's an AirLift radiator vacuum filler.
I just loaded it again right off my cell phone. Can you see it now?
The Tundra 4.7 is super easy to replace coolant on. The engine block drains even have fittings to attach clear tubing to drain the coolant without a mess. One of the cleanest and easiest that I have ever done.
Set of Mayhew brass drifts, My old ones are getting too short from reshaping the ends over & over.
Mitutoyo magnetic base & indicator kits, Bought 2 sets, New.....But old stock from a local distributer reducing his inventory. Soon as he finds the Mitutoyo bore gauges he thinks he has....Buying those as well.
Got some Dial Indicator holders (2) for my Tool Post on Ebay, First impressions are good & has a nice tight fit with post released, Tried different Indicators & they all fit well.

The TP DI mount is slick - not around when I ran lathes … But that’s long ago …
Vise jaw pads. They'll be great for old motorcycle carbs, I don't know why I didn't get these years ago.
Get the single arm, central knob indicator holders (ala NOGA) and you'll likely never use the old clunky setups again. I know I haven't touched one since I got my NOGAs long agoSet of Mayhew brass drifts, My old ones are getting too short from reshaping the ends over & over.

My old one vanished.
Just picked up and left?
Bison seems nice enough. I think my 4 jaw is a Bison. I honestly don't know if their 3 jaws can be indicated/adjusted like Buck?I need to start ignoring your posts......I got the 2 sets mainly for the Indicators as they were a really good price. A direct mount Collet Chuck will be my next purchase.
What's your opinion on Bison Chucks?
Ordered a new parts washer today & also sold my old trusty '98 model ATEC as the steel in the water reservoir was starting to get thin. The previous owner neglected it pretty bad from not running the correct detergent to protect the steel.
It sold within 2 hours of my wife posting it on Facebook, Got back what I have in the machine ($2,000) along with 3 years of hard constant use which more than paid for the machine.
New one is a Insta-Clean model# IC-7, It can allegedly wash a heavily soiled transmission case in 15 minutes @ 150°. With my old washer sometimes over 2 hours was normal with periodic touch-ups with a wire brush & sctochbite pad @ 160°-175°.
If this machine can thoroughly clean one in 45 minutes I would be ecstatic!!
This was a tough decision to make & spent a couple months researching different parts washers. It came down to a Stainless Steel Ranger/Bendpak RS-500DS or the Insta-Clean IC-7. The Ranger is a carbon copy of my old ATEC except for being stainless.....I know how they clean & I can't justify $10,000 for that kind of performance.
Unfortunately......It's gong to take @10 weeks for it to get built. Didn't expect my old machine to sell that fast if at all as I disclosed the rust issue, I have a colleague that'll let me use his IF he's not using it.
This video help me make the decision.....
Here's my old ATEC (When I first got it)......
Finally got my new machine, Took a little longer than 10 weeks but I made due, I'll get it set-up this weekend.
A new 5mm Gedore wrench.
