What Did You Buy Today?

Stores more compact, can use the box. Real benefit for me is it just moves smoother when tapping close to an obstruction.

Ok, well the General moves smoothly, it just isn't removable.
I have seen too many tools at estate sales where the parts are gone. Including regular tap handles without the threaded piece, which makes them useless. Mine go into the corner of the draw nestled into each other.

A little comparison with my Kennedy 520 to the new chest I picked up... And a bizarre photo. No trickery, the camera omitted the knob on one drawer, but another pic shows it... WTH.

Are you positive it is D1-3? Did you measure?

A few eBay items. I like the under priced buy it now items. Gone before anyone else finds them.

My Ebay luck continues. Saw this vise at $300 buy it now and almost pulled the trigger. Worried that I would miss out but running behind getting my son to a basketball game I decided to let it go. About the time I settled down in the bleachers I got an alert from the Ebay seller offering $100 off. 3 days later this shows up at my house......................

Totally agree. The Starretts are the cat's meow.

I’ll second that motion. Every time I use my 91B, I smile.

Anyone ever seen one of these "Spline" micrometers before?

I just picked it up on a whim. Pretty stoked about it. It should work awesome for the small work that I tend to find myself doing.

Needs a new battery, but is in great condition otherwise.

I like good tools, but you Starrett tap wrench guys are starting to weird me out a little. Haha!

I really had to talk myself into this one. It was $52. That's really above my impulse buy budget, but darn it, it's High Speed steel US made. I sincerely hope I come up with a need for a 1 1/4" hole soon. I'm feeling a bit guilty. Lol

Just a tip.. Don't use that in a keyless chuck... Only keyed..
