I've had my eye on a set of these bad boys for a while, couldn't turn down $59.99. Also grabbed an R134a gauge set while I was there, plus they had a "buy a hose set get 2 cans of freon free" deal
Gauges, removal sockets, and 2 cans of R134a for less than $120 after tax.
Lisle 15mm line socket. This was motivated by the desire for a socket for GM ECT sensors. I made one as seen here but I think the Lisle oughta work, too.
I had already ordered the Lisle then decided to make one, also. Note Lisle does not market theirs as being for this specific application, FWIW
What are you working on today?
Sanded and added another coat of paint to the boat. Didn’t like how it came out in a few spots so going to sand and add one more 3rd and final coat. I’m being a bit anal but I cannot help it.

Also the new Tekton O2 sensor socket. Apparently I have a thing for sockets with slots or cut-outs ATM, but this is completely unrelated to the GM ECT sensor stuff. Tekton happened to send out a new product email and I figured "why not".....might be nice to have on a Saturday at 11p when I figure out I need it
80V
That oughta have some power. Are you replacing a gas mower?

It has enough power. But….the design logic is…odd….
Starting Odd sequence - but becomes normal to user after 5-6 times.
Blade speed not controlled by lever -Turtle
Rabbit 
only driven speed NOT blade speed as blade speed is constantBag cannot hardly go 50% full
It cuts pretty strong for what it is
Wife likes it and that was the point - she is strong for a 65 year old 110# slender Asian woman, but doesn't do pull starts anymore. She uses also in her native plant area after I have wheed whacked to even it up.
Quiet and quick for touch up areas, especially nice grass in front, I like it for that.
$509 sale (now $599) Comes with a big 80V 4AH battery, we have a 5AH ($$$) and a bunch of 1.5-3AH) for wacker, BP blower and stick blower

Koken 1/4” drive ratchet, 20 teeth, 160mm long, KokenUSA.com
I reach for these ratchets first. Particularly the 1/4” drives when low back drag is most helpful.

I was recently disappointed in my cargo control selection for anchoring vehicles to a trailer with anything other than chains and binders (my preferred method when possible).
Years ago I had axle straps (top right) but they've been lost to time or other projects, so I ordered some more.
Also a set of four "ring straps" and ratchet mechanisms with chain pigtail (only one shown).
I also needed a flex head ratchet wrench in 7/8" so I ordered the GW 90T version. It was REALLY rough the first few revolutions but then seemed to settle in.
And a CTA slide hammer axle puller attachment that might work for an upcoming job on a Rogue (carrier bearing on RH shaft)
