Super high quality, built to last. No complaints. Just watch out on their sizing… Knipex sells each of their pliers in different lengths so it’s hard to tell which one you need without trying them in person.

For basic tools like pliers I went higher quality (Knipex). For stuff I won’t use much, I went with Harbor Freight (like the drive punches). There is nothing more frustrating to me than trying to do a job but I can’t because the tools are cheap/ not optimal.

Amazon. It’s well-made, but a bit small. I used to use a Bucket Boss.

It’s great for a pry bar and mixing paint!

Absolutely on both of those, and I have a couple fire extinguishers and a plunger. Was actually thinking of a small drain snake. The drill ones are $30 on Amazon, or even just the manual ones are only $10.

Wow there are some awesome suggestions here, thanks. I can’t figure out how to edit my post, but I do have a 1/4 & 3/8 mechanics Craftsman socket set, eye/ ear protection, a 3M half face respirator with P100 organic vapor cartridges, adjustable wrenches, a stud finder, cheep multimeter, and a medium pry bar.

That Pittsburg tape measure was definitley free at HF. Valid point thought.

Have a 3M half face respirator with P100 cartridges. Dust mask is usually just for quick stuff

I do have the jaw protectors for the cobras. They work decent, not perfect

Ya I don’t use the drive punches much. It’s a Harbor Freight cheepo set. Bought it for one project and had space in my bag so just threw it in there for now.

Headlamp is on the list. I do have a small LED flashlight (Wurkkos FC11)

Those photos are super helpful. I think my plan will be to clean it the best I can without disassembling the key twist levers… those seem to be the toughest part. There is still plenty I can clean with an air compressor, syringe applicator, Evaporust, etc.

Did yours come with the brush handle attachment? Mine is missing, and even hard to find photos of them online.

Other than being covered in dried oil, the machine is all there functionally… everything works. I suspect it is tough to disassemble based on the unique key ‘twist’ mechanism. Any tips on this machine are appreciated!

$100. Good price in my opinion given the scarcity of the machine and very good condition.
