Stole this outta Dad’s toolbox when I was 18. Only one I’ve been using ever since.

My dad gave me my grandfather's toolbox when I was a teenager, but before that I had this POS kids tool set that my grandmother bought me for my birthday when I was 7 or 8.

Everything inclosed was garbage, but at least I had my own tools and didn't have to swipe any of my dads crappy tools or swipe and loose any of the good stuff from my grandfather that he was saving for me.

I certainly was.
I thought it was the coolest thing ever because the flashlight could act as a headlight for the truck.
Most of it didn't hold up that well, but they were good enough to keep my cheap bike and my friends cheap bikes going.
 
Just ordered my first to specification custom knife from a BF knife maker! I ordered a Prototype Hunter in CruWear from Navman, and am pretty excited about it!

Also bought a pristine 90's Wool, with Leather Sleeves, Varsity jacket off Da bay for a great price. I always wanted one, and it's in my favorite color combination, so I'm stoked about that as well.

Hopefully it fits well, you've gotta pay close attention to measurements and not rely on tag size especially with jackets like this and 90's stuff when baggy fits became the fashion.
Did you get a golden bear ?
 
Crickett 22 mag rifle with stock extensions. Something to play with that could make a woods bummin’ gun

I agree! I look for pictures with a measuring tape on the item in question.

Nope, not a Golden Bear... Golden Bear's are great, and I would have gotten one, but couldn't find one in my size and color combination. I'd love to order a new GB, but $$$.

Reed, would be my second choice. I bought a new wool and leather bomber style (Top Gun), one a few years back and really like it. It was expensive and took me months to pay off...

It's a Rennoc. A made in USA one. I wanted a plain blank black on black most of all, but alas, they are hard to find, and about impossible in my size. The one I got is Red and Black.

I believe that they do but, keeping it small is part of the appeal

I've seen a lot of people have surprisingly good accuracy with just a cheek weld essentially holding the rifle as if the stock was longer, but .22 mag does have slightly more recoil.
I'd definitely rather have a stock that I could shoulder without significant chicken wing.
 
I ordered and received three barbed wire cutters, made in 1942 in Australia, and so marked "Sunshine", a company that had made wheat harvesters. During WWII they made tools for the Australian military. They were advertised as British, but are marked with a "D Broad Arrow D" which is Australian markings. Had to get some 3 in 1 Penetrating oil as I do not think they had been opened since they were made in 1942, now functioning just fine. One friend has already used them to repair his wire fence line, works great on 1 and 2 strand barbed wire, little harder on 3 strand wire. John

I have a Savage Rascal 22 that I can shoot pretty well. I caught it on sale and bought on a whim. When I was laid up because of a back surgery, I could only shoot 22’s a box of shells last a lot longer shooting pieces of clay birds on the back stop than when I was shooting my autos or pump guns. I decided I wanted to try the Crickett and thought since I have one mini rifle in 22 lr I would try the 22Mag
 
I received my 2 new pairs of little pliers from CHANNELLOCK today and I'm a little bit disappointed.

They're definitely nicer than my old ones, but the 524 are not marked into the steel like I expected which was the whole reason I wanted a new pair of 524 😭

I still need to strip off that thick buildup of clear coating on the 424, the 524 operate quite smoothly afterwards.

I don't know what the deal is, don't know how long ago they changed the manufacturing process on their little ones ( mine were current when purchased 5-6 years ago ), and I don't know if the pliers I received today are indicative of current manufacture or not.
Their packages are dated 4/23 & 9 /24 and the stock photos I posted previously were taken directly from CHANNELLOCK's website where I ordered them, this doesn't really tell me anything concrete.

I'll have to either contact them on Monday, or just do some detective work.

I ordered a mixed lot of 10 deer & elk antler knife handle sections on eBay.
they're all pre drilled which might not be ideal, but I won't really know till the work starts.
2 look like good potential candidates for a couple Buck rehandles I need to finally finish, and the rest will be sliced up into slipjoint scales.

I bought myself this pair of Vessel power grip screwdrivers from HJE a couple months back and have really really loved them.

Well I figured my uncle would probably really like them too so I ordered him a pair for his upcoming birthday.
 
Nothing at the moment, but in the next month:

CZ P-10 c ported for my mom
Red dot and light for it

Depending on my financial situation:

Suppressor for my Tavor
Threaded barrel and Suppressor for my Steyr M9-A1.
 
I ordered a pair of Corcoran tanker boots.

I really don't need another pair of boots, but I just learned that Corcoran makes these tanker boots and thought they were too cool not to get.
Since I've never had anything like this and don't know how they'll fit and snug up I found a lightly scuffed display pair discounted 50%, if I like them they'll be getting beat up anyways.
 
Recoil pad from limbsaver for the Magpul MOE SL-Zhukov stock. Ever since my second shoulder surgery I'm much more recoil sensitive.
