So what did you buy today

The "Folding Drag Saw" photos above were taken at the PA GTG in November.

Since then someone has put one on loan to the museum and we have hung it in the "McCulloch Building".



I thought using sisal rope was more appropriate for this piece.

I made my own with a Matco ratchet head on a harbor freight breaker bar

I made three of them before the heads went up to $110 each. I wore out the flex locking teeth on a 3/8 head and put that on a 3/8 icon breaker bar they had on clearance awhile back. The Pittsburgh/ Matco combo is okay except they don’t lock. I keep them in my trucks for tire changes. I think this is close to 34” so it should be nice for breaking bed bolts off.

Nice. I got mine when it was around $30 for a head. I use the heck out of it weekly in my shop. Suspension components, brake caliper brackets, etc.

3.5 turbo 6
Now I have to learn how to work all the doodads, lol

Been down the 1/2 ton pickup rabbit hole for a while now. 2nd gen 3.5 turbo looks like a good choice.

A question for all the SnappyJoe, Mac, Matco lovers .. ..... What does the guy/gal on the truck want for a 4 or 5 piece flare nut wrench set?

Bought a '15 XL SCREW new on 12/31/15- been the best truck I ever owned, and thats saying something cause I've had good trucks on every purchase I ever made ( 7 overall ) & I wouldnt trade mine for a brand new platinum . Told the ole lady that unless i get totaled I would replace any and everything on this before i buy another truck. Got 165K on it & have ZERO issues and that 3.5 TT EB is quicker than the 5.0, its amazing how fast this truck is for a stock v6- Its all in the turbos

Got 6 bags of kingsford @ HD because they were #20 bags for less than $10 each and the twin packs of #16 were just under $20.
Use to find charcoal on sale twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall for about 1/2 price but about 8-10 yrs ago or so they just stopped going on sale anymore. So I saved .14 cents a pound yesterday and got #120 so I saved almost $17. @ one time I had 45 bags stored in my shed cause I would buy a dozen bags every spring & fall but I just ran out about 2 months ago - had not bought any in about 10 yrs.
I might buy a few more today

Yeh, sounds like Ford got it right from the start with the 3.5 twin turbo. How much do you tow heavy trailers?

I’m guessing here but I’d say $300. I paid $180 for a snap on set used. You can find them on eBay for around that.

Picked this up today. Got the 462 to use as a parts saw but I think I’m an idiot and I was the problem with my 462.

The problem with me and parts saws is that I don't want to use the parts for other saws, I end up wanting to rebuild them. That is how I ended up with three Husky 55s now
