What Did You Buy Today?

Made in USA General 8071 reversible ratcheting wrench. I hope it is compatible with Chapman bits.

You are doing good, my Finn friend. But there is a whole other level to the 1/4 hex tools you must hold in your hands to behold: the gearless ratchet. I first encountered these as a lad while working on bicycles, from Snap-on. Changed my thoughts on offset drivers forever. Even the knock-offs are pretty darn good.

Oh my....... that is FANTASTIC!
That would have saved my knuckles and cursing when I was up under the dash last week... 2 hr job dropping impossible little screws would've been like 5 min?

Two Hertel 1/2" ball end mills. For an AR-15 bolt tool I'm working on. Not sure on how great the brand is, but it has to be better than the cheap stuff I have now.

I don't remember seeing that tool from general before. I wonder how close it is to the Chapman tools driver?

Other than the direction switch, I don't think there is much difference. I'm really hoping that the bits are cross-compatible.
