Tone long zero offset wrenches
Beautiful. COO Japan?
Punch a hole thru the side near the capped end. Then just sit it vertically, open end down, in a funnel in your drain jug and you'll get much more oil out of it.
Every tool has a hammer side.
Unless that tool is a Williams ratchet. Then every side is a hammer side.

Love me some long pattern zero offsets. Mine are Toptul and Capri.Tone long zero offset wrenches
As far as backprobes go... There's lots of inexpensive sets out there. Amazon has many. I got my set from HF as well. Maddox set is like $14, and do what they're designed to do. Easy, functional, cheap. No need to overthink it
Got a more appropriate sized organizer, and by Akro-Mills, no less! Made in the USA, 15 bins. Not the 18 I wanted but I can double up some things.

Had this little guy show up. Pic is from Amazon, as it's currently charging after function testing. Little wedge edc style light. Warsun T9Pro. Does typical high, medium, low, turbo. Strobe. Has a side light that does 3 levels of intensity, magnetic base. Can do red light strobe. Has UV, and a laser pointer. Just over $32 shipped/tax. It has features that would be helpful in an automotive environment, which is what drew my attention. Price was friendly enough to give it a try.

A large box--about the size of an average homeowner's toolbox--arrived from Home Despot yesterday. It it was a small tool:
Calibrated, even! At least, that might be for this unserialized wrench.
I do wish it were smaller. This is for spark plugs and there isn't much room for tools on Suby heads--even in a spacious Vanagon engine bay. I'll have to figure out something with another U-joint.

Monday while trying to drill 3.25” holes through four panel layers in a fd up position at face level and having the hole saw snag and slam my hand between it and the cabinet frame three damn times within five minutes I ordered this.
Stupid hole saws
Oh and it came with a freebie

$2 thrift grab. Yamaha and a Gedore. Not a big fan of DOE wrenches... But they work. Would have bought the Yamaha regardless for grins Gotta find a Honda and Kawasaki wrench on the cheap so I can have some from the Big 4. Lol. Metrics at a buck a pop... I'll snag almost every time.

Bought from Amazon Japan. No COO on the packaging but all wrenches are stamped Japan. Used them today and am really happy with the extra capability from this wrench pattern. They have a thicker and more rounded beam than some of the other options like Matco, Capri, Genius, etc. Very comfortable in use. The satin finish is on the coarser side and quite grippy.
If I had to nitpick, the finishing is not as flawless as you get from Koken or KTC. But overall very happy with them.
Wouldn't it just be easier to sharpen the chainsaw? Nyuck nyuck nyuck.
Did you order them all separately or as a set? I've seen a few kits, but not with all the sizes. I

Just for comparison, here is the Wurth set I ordered earlier this year...

Picked up the 8” Doyle mini bolt/wire cutters for the work truck based on @larry4406 answers to my questions of a month ago. Got the 36 piece stamping set so I can stamp the VIN into the frame of my utility trailer.

Those mini cutters have worked very well for us. My wife is able to use them to cut wire fencing so that was the goal.Picked up the 8” Doyle mini bolt/wire cutters for the work truck based on @larry4406 answers to my questions of a month ago.

Far more used tool than I ever thought when I bought one for a job it couldn't quite do. It does jobs I didn't think of quite well.
Do you remember which dollar store? That is perfect for the task.Little dollar store box to hold my razor blades

Got these on Thursday last week. Magnetic brake spring tools will be perfect for those annoying parking brake springs and drum brake springs too. And a 34mm 12 point socket and 1-5/16 chrome socket because I was doing a hub and bearing assembly in a GMC and did not have the right size for the axle nut so I went out and got the 34 and the equivalent of a 33 since he didn’t have a 33. It ended up being the 33 so at least the 1-5/16 one worked. I also ordered a Tekton 37 and 38mm that way I’ll have a complete set of axle nut sockets up to 39mm which should cover my needs except I do have a 1-11/16 which is close to a 43mm for the new Tundras. I also ordered a 28mm stubby and regular combination wrench from Tekton too for inner tie rods. Probably won’t ever need the stubby but it can’t hurt to have. 
Dollar tree. Was in the arts and craft section. Tried to find on website now to get you an item # but can’t find it. They had stacks of them though.

Congrat's you made an excellent choice!
I came close to almost buying a Gravely ZT mower when I was in the market for a ZT mower at that time.
For myself, it came down to 2 different manufacturers, Gravely or Hustler.
After researching each and trying each one out, etc. I decided on the Hustler Raptor Flip Up instead for two main reasons:
(1) it has the capability to flip the deck up (makes cleaning underneath the deck and changing blades so much easier, etc.).
(2) free delivery.
Cool. Thank you. I will probably use one exactly as you are using yours.

And the world spins comfortably on its axis as Dollar Tree and Snap-on exist side by side.

Wireless lavalier microphones. Maybe my videos will **** a little less. At least, you'll be able to hear my mellifluous voice (That's a lie. Mellifluous means honey-toned. The only thing my voice has in common with honey is the swarm of angry bees) over the road noise.
These use magnets to secure the tiny 'phones to clothing or whatever. It came with a receiver for phones and adventure cams and another for use with pro-grade cameras. Claimed wireless range is 1,000 ft. Neat little kit that was recommended in several videos by several different YT creators--whose videos, unlike mine, don't ****. Worth a gamble for under $90.
I'll have to take 'em for a spin this afternoon.

Bahco 2421d, 2430d and 2427d. I'm putting together a small tool kit and wanted these Bahco pliers with the old school dipped handles. Waited a bit and finally won an online auction, well, actually two different ones within a week. Both at very good prices.
Post up if you get !

Love dipped handles on pliers compared to the thick comfort grip
Agree. I have probably the same assortment from ~4 years ago and the beam finishing is less than impressive on mine. Looks like X seconds on a belt sander per side and move on. Perfectly functional, but not for the tool polishers here; my Stahwille wrenches are a step above, and they're a step below everything else i have as far as cosmetics.
Yes, they are the best. The only oversize moulded grips I have, are on some crimping tools.
