i think im gonna start selling alot of my tools, look in the near future for a for sale thread..

 

you got a lot of craftsman? im trying to upgrade my cheaper gift tools from when I was a teen to craftsman sockets and wrenches. need a torque wrench too.

 

The Craftsman torque wrenches are nice. I've got a 3/8 craftsman torque wrench. My 1/2 is a Snap On, and it is the adjuster on the side instead of twisting the handle. A lot quicker to adjust and don't have to set the wrench to its lowest setting before it sits for a while. My craftsman will be the home tools while Snappys and Matco will be for work.


Mitch are you trying to downsize or upgrade or need money for medical stuffs or what.

 

money issues, and the fact i cant do anything. im loosing my damn mind. im not use to sitting home and not being able to doing anything. i have adhd. im FULL of energy and feel useless as hell.

 

Is it a long estimated recovery time? Friend of mine from work got in a bad accident in his Teggy and broke his arm really bad. He was next in line to be a tech and a stall opened up like 2 monthes after the accident. But long story short he had to get a bunch of surgeries and it even got infected pretty bad, but now 6 monthes later he's pretty much done with surgeries, just has to build the muscle back.

 

yea ive got at least 6 months with this damn metal thing in my arm. its been over 2 weeks and my arm and fingers are still swelled. i also have 8 stitches on top of my arm and 17 down the palm of my hand. i have no feeling in 3 fingers and my thumb.

 

^ mitch it only gets better from here!
time passes by fast when your not thinking about it.
think about the things you CAN do and not what you cant.

My brother was born without his left hand. his left arm ends at his wrist, he uses a prosthetic hand, and he can pretty much do ANYTHING. he can tie his shoes, ride bikes, PLAY POOL (better than me BTW), play basketball. you name it.
He just turned 12.

find a hobby you can do, maybe on computer or something.
apply at that one website CHACHA.com or something lol. you get paid for every question you answer. IDK just giving some ideas out there.



This black friday I'll be buying some craftsman tools i hope! haha
i need a torque wrench. and 1/2 sockets lol

 

the worst part is i have to hold my arm in the air (above my heart) at all times. try going one day with holding your hand up in the air. and i cant control what happens when i sleep and i keep hurting myself.

I called my Snap On order to the rep for my school Thursday. He said I probably won't get my stuff until after Thanksgiving. And I'm only gettnig half the stuff since everything is on back order. But once that stuff comes in I'll take pics. That was a $3200 bill haha.

 

I got my Snap On order today, at least what was in stock.

Here's everything that came:



Here's all my new wrenches.
-Line wrenches
-Flank drive plus 8-19mm (8mm is backorder), 21, 22, and 24.
These are all soooo nice, my Craftsman pros don't have any flank drive technology :P

Here's a pic of what makes it a flank drive PLUS. ALl wrenches are flank drive in the box end, but the plus has the flank drive technology in the open end. You can see the notches and teeth, they grip in to the bolt head. These will actually leave teeth imprints in bolts if enough force is used.


This pic has:
-Plier set, the quality on these puts any other set to shame
-8" adjustable wrench, has teeth in it to help grip
-Metric feeler gauges
-Metric allen set
-24 oz deadblow
-Plastic tip mallet
-1/4" drive screwdriver thing
-Heater clamp hose pliers


This pic has:
-Universal jointed spark plug sockets
-Different adapters
-Retaining spring pliers
-3/8" ratchet
-3/8" stubby flex ratchet
-1/2" 17" locking flex head ratchet
-1/2" 50-250 ft/lb torque wrench (dial type, don't have to set to zero like on the spinning handle ones and it is so easy and quick to set to certain torques, this things the ****)
-1/2" 18" breaker bar



This pic has:
-1/4" shallow and deep
-1/4" Blue Point magnetic socket holder (it is sweet, can flip upside down and won't drop them)
-3/8" shallow and deep
-3/8" hex
-1/2" chrome shallow and deep
-1/2" impact shallow 10-24mm
-1/2" impact deep 10-24mm, 30 mm, 32 mm (back ordered)


My wobble PLUS extensions. Can be used as either wobble extensions or as standard extensions. Have 1/4". 3/8", and 1/2". Also got my Matco 1/2" impact extensions 2 days ago, no pics though.

Here is the extension being used as wobble. 16* angle I think it gives.

And if you push the socket all the way on it holds it straight.



I'm still waiting on a LOT more stuff, it'll be a good month or two til it all eventually drifts here once it is in stock. Pretty much the main things I'm waiting for:
-1/4" ratchet
-1/4" locking flex ratchet
-3/8" locking flex ratchet
-1/2" standard ratchet
-3/8" compact swivel head
-Tox sockets
-3/8" socket magnetic tray
-32mm socket
-8mm wrench
-16 and 32 oz deadblow ball peens
