What Did You Buy Today?

[Manderioli]

Decided to fill a void in my shop with a new finger nail trimmer.

Picked up the benchmaster 132 (2ton) press punch with stand for $140.

@darkzero - I'd be VERY interested in your opinion/experience with the KAKA brake. I've been resisting the urge to grab one.

Me too. I have their roller and it works pretty well.

I finally scored a honking vise for the shop. Mountain Dew can for scale.

NCjeeper, nice looking vice, you better bolt it down, you'll feel it, if it fell on your feet, don't ask how i know.

 

[NCjeeper]

Thanks. Getting ready to drill some holes right now.

Kinda silly, and off topic ... but I recall several Craigslist ads for vises over the years. Those that included cans for scale all seemed to use Mountain Dew. Can't recall any with a Pepsi or 7-Up can. Strange, eh wot?

Thanks Jim. It was up Mike's way and he brought it down for me.

I'm interested as well. A review would be nice...

Ya, mee too. It would take up about half the space of the one I've been considering:

This one showed up on the local Craigslist, though they're in the Sandy Eggo area. The said they'd ship for $100.

I don't really do reviews but I might post a little something about it after I make a base plate for it. So far I'm pretty happy with it, especially for the price I paid. Been eyeing it for a while & waiting for a sale. I've never had anything else so nothing to compare to besides a little 8" Grizzly unit.

Well packaged, secure in the crate. Fed-Ex left it on my door step on it's side. Can easily tell which way was supposed to be up yet they decide to just lay it down on it's side. I hate Fed-Ex!

Sorry about the rant. Yeah so no damage, no rust, nothing worth noting. Just a small paint chip on the front. Made in China, I originally thought it may have been India. I have a hand shear from them, also no complaints & has been working well for me. Really the only reason I buy from them is the name, well price too. We all know what the word means universally, it's an inside joke for me.

I saw something on TV the other day that said Mountain Dew was created as a mixer for moonshine.
