New tool thread

TSC has these mini wrenches at $9.99 per set. I have various brands but never trust quality or tolerances, so I like to have options.

If you search the part numbers (86560 & 86561) they come up like $30 per set at "normal retail"

Going on 4 years with my first Knipex tools (center) and they have been phenomenal. Picked up a few more Knipex pliers (left) for my mobile toolbox and work desk. I also picked up the Doyle clone (far right) a few months ago, and ... its an excellent copy.

I was looking at milawakee working lights because they are nice but I could not stomach the prices.
Instead of spending several hundred bucks I got this for 40 dollars.
Two of the lights are detachable and magnetic.
Yes it has internal battarey that runs off USB charing cable. For the price difference I think I'll live with that.

I saw these in my local O'Reilly the other day. How often have you wanted a caliper hanger to be just slightly a different shape or radius? For me, it's almost every time I use them.

I did some research online and at $9.99 O'Reilly is far and away the least expensive, so I threw them on my parts delivery today.

NOW, I can't yet say if they're stout enough to hang a 3/4t truck caliper and bracket -- they might pull straight under considerable weight. Although sometimes it's the more cramped wheel wells of passenger cars where I long for adjustability the most.

Decided I'd like a way to apply vac to p/s systems if necessary. I'm a cheapskate so I actually ordered this used on ebay, but might as well be new from what I can tellView attachment 249369
How would you use this? Put a vacuum on the system while you r&r a component to stop a mess? Or could it be used to replace the fluid somehow?
