Thought it would be interesting to see what tools everyone spend their money on.
Nothing real special this week, but a couple of things I needed.
3 piece puller set, harbor freight, $18

Clamp multimeter, habor freight $12. Actually read some pretty good reviews about accuracy on this thing when readings were compared with a Fluke side by side. I do understand however, that it is what it is, and it is not a Fluke, but a Fluke ain't $12.

Bought a roll of wire for my welder. Does that count?

I picked up some stuff from HF a few days ago... Some magnetic angles to hold metal together while welding.. Some step drill bits and some d ring brackets to weld on the side of the trailer... All of which was on sale from their flyer..
Bought a 1/2" electric drill a few weeks ago cause I kept having to borrow other people's.. Got a rubber mallet and it came apart on the first whack...
A lot of things from HF is good stuff.. Just have to know what is and what isn't..

I've never been a fan of those types of ratchets. It always seems like when you start putting out on it, it'll fold up. Just my opinion.

I have both now. Trust me, there are times when you need the flex head. Plus a better made one won't fold as easy. I will NOT buy flex head ratchets from HF.
