What Did You Buy Today?

[oogenshire]

Seems like that would be fun to watch work! What does one machine with that setup?

From what i understand tool amd die makers used them for making pockets and voids in molds.... i mostly picked it up because its cool and the price was nice and i needed anpther project like a hole in my head lol

I didn’t buy them so don’t know if they qualify here. I picked them up on a renovation construction job. Strips of very heavy steel (5x48x3/4”) and a plate of 1” steel (maybe 15x15”). Also very heavy. I used a hand truck and I let 2 of my employees load everything. There is another 10 or so 5x48” strips if I want them.

I would, can never have too much heavy metal.

I have an affinity for vintage squares. Maybe it's because I are one? This one is really nice. If only I didn't need and electron microscope to read it!

A pair of Olsa 3/8” socket rails…


…a three piece Lang pocket pry bar set…


…and a 28 oz. Proto dead blow mallet.

I have a few of the Olsa socket rails. The plastic end caps won’t keep the clips from sliding off so I put screws and nuts in the slots to keep the clips on.

Do you have the accessory locking plastic end caps or the ones pictured above?

Flea market buy:


Brand new Craftsman 1/2" drive.
BUT why is it brown??? I have never seen this. I know impact sockets are sometimes this color.

EDIT: apparently it does or did exist

CRAFTSMAN INDUSTRIAL 9-2381 Driver Size, 36 No. of Teeth, 10.375

FeaturesOne handed reverse lever is designed for fast work.Thumb activated quick release swaps sockets easily.Black oxide for mild corrosion resistance, for appearance and to minimize light reflection.

The appearance is said to minimize light reflection. I can see why, I hate when light reflects off my socket wrenches and blinds me...
Perhaps this is useful in laser labs?
