I stopped buying lots like that from e-bay, too many boxes showed up empty. I still say someone in Denver has one heck of a tool collection. Maybe I'll start again, and see if they have gotten better.
 
Been Looking for a larger boring bar (1") for some time, wanted carbide but they typically run around $800 for a 12" discounted which is way more than I wanted to spend. Just happen to see a used one listed in very good condition, only a slight ding at the tip of the insert holder. KENNAMETAL E16-SCLPR3 1" carbide boring bar, CPMT 32.51 inserts paid $170, so very happy with that. A high positive profile insert with a smaller nose radius is preferred for boring, so will get some CPGT and CPMT 32.51 inserts. Picked up an inexpensive oversized BXA boring bar holder so should be good to go and will be able to do some deep boring with this one. :grin:

Been doing a lot of work on my truck lately, bought a new jack to replace my 20+ yr old Craftsman. Never thought I would ever say this about a Harbor Freight product but this jack is very nice. No wonder Snap On tried to sue.

Got these a couple of weeks ago. Nutesert tool & M12 Fuel 3/8" ratchet.

Got tired of my ballasts falling off every summer when the double sided tape got to hot.

Great buy Will.
If that's the same model I'm thinking, I "ve heard a lot of positive reviews on that HF jack , waiting for our PA stores to start selling them, what I want the most in a jack ,other than the lifting capacity is how many inches off the ground it is at its lowest, and how fast it can pump, this one seems to have everything I need.

Thanks Ken, definitely was a great buy. Main reasons why I bought it, great reviews, pumps fast, & lifting height. My Craftsman jack is old school, takes forever to pump & barely lifts my truck high enough to get jack stands under it. I love the long length of it too. I do have one of those low profile aluminum jacks that I use when working on lowered cars but it's useless for lifting my truck.
