Speaking of homebuilt hardware; I am picking up the materials this weekend to build a 30 ton press. I am not looking forward to drilling all the holes.

I picked up a set of those @Anathollo from NTXTools.com, they have some killer BOGO deals from time to time. Great deals on Gearwrench items.

Please don't show me this. My wallet is thin enough as it is
I got this hook and pick set because my mom opened a window with an inspectors green tag on the top window. Well the bottom window grabbed it and scrunched it up so now it's really hard to open that window and obviously I need a whole set of picks to get it out.

I totally understand.. when I went to get that link to post I also noticed they had a tap and die set on sale.. BOGO. I paid about the same ($6 more) for the 75 piece plus the 40 piece set as just what the 75 piece costs on Amazon. $50 less than what Northern Tool wanted.. and its for both! Woot!
Here I'll be a nice guy and post it for others.

Asshole did you buy some Visa or MasterCard stock today before this posting?
Picked up a temp bottle jack for the press. Later I will upgrade it to a 50 ton unit.

Wish I had known.. I would have given you my 20 ton that I have in my press... I'm go air over hydro on it.
Thanks; but this was cheap enough. It will have other uses when I upgrade.

One thing about this tap and die set... I can't find anywhere what size tap and dies it contains! I need to chase the threads in the bolt mounts for my IFS skid... but for that matter I'm not sure what size those bolts are. I need to get up to the Yota dealer and order some up.
Worse case I'll drill out the holes and weld some nuts in there. Make my own mounts.

Maybe... what did you buy? Or maybe I am an investor in NTX Tools.
I started adding bs stuff in my cart, and Im thinking I already blew my tool budget for the month

I know, my bad. Well this way I'll have a 20 ton bottle jack sitting around the garage for... well... whatever.

Just tap into next months budget. I hear ya though... I have a list of things that I'd "like" to have. I bought two nutsert guns this month along with a bunch of nutserts. They have been on my "those would be nice to have" list for a while. I saw Ian using the Westwood gun on Extreme 4x4 and bought the same one, just its like a rivet gun, you have to use one hand to squeeze it. So I also ordered the one where you use both hands. Now to just come up with a project to use them. Hmmm.
No pics. I'll try to grab some later.
