$14 total from Harbor Freight with Inside Track.
That is the sort of
I bought this about 20 years ago and it still bangs..

Not compatible unfortunately, but the ToolPro batteries often go on sale for around $26 USD and use Samsung cells.
HF decent stuff, imo

This is a legit tool, BTW. I have one. Best plumbing sawzall ever made. It was a limited run on the electric side, this was when 18v cordless tools were starting to take form, in a useful way. They had battery ones also:
They were also orbital.
I have an electric one. I love it. They make it now in 18 volt? Gotta get one.
No, not for a long time.....
I too have an electric one, they are rare, and a serious tool to have.
Working on an old Snapper rear engine rider. The old flat head Briggs like to loose the threads in the top shroud bosses so figured I would need these.
I was contemplating starting a “post your latest consumables purchase” thread when I got these last week.
I got this lot of GM brake bleed adapters on ebay
Of course the prize is the unused J29567 for GMT400s
I also ordered this prop valve depressor because I read it can be helpful (and everything on the internet is true, so.....)
I needed a way to store this stuff away from sparks, abrasive dust and creosote so decided to use my weird tubular Ridgid box. After all, what else does one do with a round toolbox????

I really didn't need another hammer but $4.99 is hard to pass up (at Ross)!

Prime day deal. $11.99 each.
The BluePoint tool that never was?
I was turned on to this KTI/BluePoint "MegaHammer" by Andrew at Long Range Gear through my Yukon Installer group.
It seems to me -- strictly guessing -- that BP was going to private label it but decided against it. It's absurdly inexpensive for the amount of steel you get. The main hammer and 4/6/8 head is presently $110 on Amazon with free shipping. It comes in a large, VERY heavy wall cardboard box and I can tell you I couldn't even SHIP this for $110 via UPS.
I also grabbed the optional 5-bolt and 8-bolt SuperDuty heads which are about $50 each.
The main tool is KTI 70390 with the additional, optional heads as 70391 and 70392.
I did notice the 5-bolt head packaging had no BP markings
and the manual for the 5-bolt head did not have the BP logo while ALL the other pieces did, example:
So hopefully KTI will continue to sell this as themselves.
Those are 1-1/2" threads and would take a 2.25" wrench:
Everything shown next to my import 10# slide hammer:
The entire assy with the 8-bolt head weighs 72#, so it's not your everyday slide hammer:
More BP tags, for fun:
Now I just need a stubborn unit bearing rusted into a knuckle bore -- careful what you wish for I suppose....
