Just wondering what everyone got for Christmas? I did very well. Got a 40″ roller box from the wife, a 15 piece set of Proto ASD Metric combination wrenches and a 19 piece set of Proto screwdrivers from my parents, and I used the money I got from extended relatives to buy several more tools. How did you guys do?
Well…my Wife bought me a collapsible Husky tool box which is going to fit all of my Kregg stuff. I then bought myself the Bosch HDS 181-02L hammer drill kit. Plus the l-boxx is sweet. My Dad got me a HD gift card and I also got the Leather man Charge AL. All in all very sweet Christmas! No on to first person shooter games……. 🙂
Cool L.e.d torches 2 of.
Electrical screwdrivers and a cool torx set which is very good quality.
and a few other bits and bobs but not too many tools as I think most folks assume I have everything.LOL 🙂

the L-Boxx system is awesome! I wish Milwaukee had a comparable system. I’ve always hated blow molded cases, but the L-Boxx is a game changer.

How many volts are they rated?
10,000 v bud. 🙂
10,000V 😯 WOW! That is some serious voltage. I’ve got a set of Proto insulated tools rated to 1500V. Anything close to that and I’m calling somebody else. I guess now I can call you, lol. What’s a service call from Manchester, UK to the United States run anyway? lol
An apple pie on arrival Pal is the current rate I think 🙂
With the money I got I found this on eBay for $110 NIB:

They’re branded Proto but I believe they’re rebranded. Made in Germany. Probably Facom.
Looks a cool little set 🙂
It’s all the insulated tools I’ll ever need and it retails for almost $300 so I got it cheap. Quality is on par with Klein.
Well spotted buy right there Pal. 🙂
I thought so too. At that price I couldn’t afford not to buy them, lol
LOL 🙂
