What Did You Buy Today?

Any one have comments on the diamond tipped screwdrivers that are not supposed to slip? Craftsman has a set.

Another local auction Monday night.
There was a decent AccuLab scale that I wanted to get for Honey to use. ($17!)
And a geode for her, just cause - she enjoys them.
and then there was an 'odd' lot. Only Machinist related items in the whole auction.



No maker's mark on the Vee Block. I haven't got the paper and goo off of it yet though.
Brass whistle, Brass scale, Brass plumb bob...

Not sure the type of bending you are looking to do but for small, light gauge brackets, boxes etc like the slug box shown, the Diacro finger brakes are a good quality option. Somewhat difficult to find used in decent shape tho and they ask king ransom for them. I lucked out and snagged a 12” at auction years ago and won’t say how much lest I be accused of major sucking. They are heavy but you can put on a workbench no prob. I had to flip the handles 180 but it still works fine.

Looks like a well made tool.
I got a price on a vintage 36" stomp metal shear at a local dealer. It's in great shape =$1,100. If I had the room I would offer $900 and go pick it up.

Picked up a pair of Starrett 733’s for silly cheap. Both need new CR2450N batteries.

Indeed, my partner said "More micrometers?" (I love that she knows what they are....)
Then I told her what I paid (less than takeout from fast food restaurant) ... and what they actually cost...

Are you sure she is ok with you buying her a scale?

While looking at something not related on Amazon these 1/8 carbide burrs show up at bottom of page, set of 10 for 11 bucks, prime.

Arrived today, looks real good, may order another set just because...

I bought a six-piece Craftsman set from Sears a few years ago. Subjectively, they do seem to do better than the standard ones they replaced.

I'd say they are worth trying, especially if you can find them on sale this time of year.
