I can spend your money well.

I bought the Dewalt reversible ratcheting wrench set (metric). They are Taiwan and from the same factory as the Expert/Mac/Facom/USAG/Proto/Blackhawk Taiwanese offerings.

Great 72 tooth ratchet end with 15* offset. Easily warrantied through Home Depot.

Gearwrench is part of the Apex group and their ratcheting wrenches are now manufactured in China. Including the ratcheting mechanism, pawls, etc.

When I bought the Dewalts Tekton was relaunching their entire ratcheting wrench line. Ended up being over a year delay. If I were to do it all over again I'd buy the Tekton set. Made by Kabo (leader of ratcheting hand tools), perfect satin finish, 72t, reversible with a 15* offset.

And the best warranty in the industry.

 

Tekton is a really impressive business in my opinion. The products are solid, and it's heartening to see them putting so much emphasis on domestic sourcing and manufacturing, but what really puts them above and beyond in my mind are their sales/marketing and fulfillment operations. They have one of the best direct-to-consumer websites I've ever seen. They ship stuff quickly, with a reasonable pricing model. Their packaging is thoughtful and minimal.

I keep eyeing their job listings and hoping they open their software dev team to remote work. It seems like a great company to work for but I don't think I want to move to Grand Rapids.

This one is slightly different from the ones you have in a way that might matter in some hyper-specific use case!

FWIW folks on the internet seem to like the 90t Gearwrench more than the 120t. I've only used the 90t so can't compare.

 

Getting some ash fallout from the fires. The mandatory evacuation line is now just a mile from my brothers in-laws, they live above Horsetooth across from the mtn park. This will be their 2nd evacuation in the last few years.
I hope nobody on here is being affected by this.

 

Hoping for the best for your BIL and everyone up there.

Scary stuff.

 

Damn that is very close
Hoping everything is gonna be ok

 

Anyone in here service suspension and then flip it or sell it after it’s finished?

I’ve got an icon stage 5 kit but live out in gj and don’t really want to deal with going to and from Denver or SLC. Can let it go cheap if someone wants to resell it

@Madjik_Man
They are ready.

 

You want me to come up and get them this weekend? I can.

Also I'm about to order 240 magnets (I can bring you enough for your holders). Just want to confirm: 8x2mm correct?

$6 TRYMAG Small 8x2mm 80Pcs Round Rare Earth Magnets, Tiny Strong Neodymium Disc Magnets for Whiteboard, Fridge, Office, Hobbies, Crafts and Dry Erase Board

This weekend is fine, I'll be here both days. I'm paying for the AC, I'm sitting in the AC.
If you can bring the magnets, that would be great for fitting them in. There may be slight trimming on some to get them to press fit. Or a simple hammer tap might get them in perfect.
Yes, they are 8mm x 2mm.

 

I have a bronze fn wheel I think you wanted.... TW meat up at Serious Texas ???

 

Ordered. Should be here tomorrow. I'll touch base about what day/time works best for you.

 

Oh wow. You grabbed it?

I was in touch with Xrunner about him grabbing it for me but he eventually texted back that someone else picked it up. Figured someone else scored it.

If you are willing to pass it on to me, I'd really appreciate it.

And I'm down to meet up wherever. Figured it would be the last three seats at the Cheeba Hut bar....

 

I didn't know if you had anyone so I sent him a message as he was just down the street from me at work.

Cheba is fine with me

 

When you guys hit Cheba, bring me a sammich. I gotta do the magnet fitting here at the house.

 

lol, your living room is like a Temu sweat shop.

NO LUNCH BREAK FOR YOU!!!

 

Obo send me a message
