(Go Ryan!)

The promos / flyer - you get a week's advance if you sign up for mailings in-store and don't mind the paper version - or the current sale:

http://www.princessauto.com/currentsale

In the next flyer I like the ball pein hammer only $4.99... have no idea where mine went, guess I loved it and set it free or something...

24 oz Ball Pein Hammer $7 off:

http://www.princessauto.com/worksho...-tools/hammers/2920167-24-oz-ball-pein-hammer

NOTE: About the right size - I think my old one was only 16 oz.

Rubber Wheel Chocks Half Price:

http://www.princessauto.com/trailer...sories/8095879-2-pc-8-x-6-rubber-wheel-chocks

NOTE: Have the cheap folding ones and bricks or 4x4 post ends for various car, truck and trailer chocks... but should probably consider something a bit safer when the rear is jacked up - especially on the slight incline. Takes up some room to store but worth a look at $14.99.

Compression tester $12 off:

http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/hand-tools/automotive-tools/testers/4230071-compression-tester

NOTE: Will check this and what adapters or bungs are required for our plug holes?


A few other things like the snap ring assortment kit and snap ring pliers set with four noses... when needle noses suck or lost a snap ring? Perhaps degreaser or detergent for this spring's pressure washing.

Anything else?

Got a bunch of gear (as above) today for Jeep jobs (+ gear oil pump and fittings, tools etc...) and blew the Christmas gift card in full !

Just couldn't resist:

Paint gun - $30 off:

http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/air/air-tools/paint-guns/8160657-hvlp-paint-gun

Would have to change nozzle out and dilute bigtime to bedline - but have some other ideas in mind. Has a regulator included so not bad for the $.

March 22 - April 3

Hi-Lift X-treme Jack 48" - $149.99:

http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/garage/lifting-devices/jacks/8128167-x-treme-jack

NOTE: This is THE jack. Price is decent for local and CAD, but can be had cheaper if you hunt around online.

4" x 6 ft Tree Saver Strap - $5 off :

http://www.princessauto.com/trailer...-components/8021419-4-x-6-ft-tree-saver-strap

Note: Always good to have one or two in the kit. Can shackle to a couple of trees or distribute force more evenly across forked limbs.

High Tensile Galvanized Shackles - 50-60% off:

http://www.princessauto.com/all-sea...s/3800391-5/8-high-tensile-galvanized-shackle

Note: The 5/8" and 7/16" are on sale. Good for connecting straps and for front recovery/tow points depending on your holes or bumper brackets. (Mine are 5/8" front on ARB, and use 7/8" on the rear hitch ball mount - huge.)

Class 3 chrome Ball Mount - 50% off:

http://www.princessauto.com/trailer/trailer/trailer/towing/8049499-cliii-ball-mount

Note: If you need a spare for recovery - matches galvanized shackes nicely. (Already have a bunch of black ones, darn)

8 pc Brake Tool Set - $10 off:

http://www.princessauto.com/worksho...tools/auto-repair/8309387-8-pc-brake-tool-set

Note: Looks like I need the spring tools in here, yay drums - look like a jigsaw puzzle in there - should probably use the right tools for the job?

Noticed my 4 footer is a bit large and barely fits in the rear seat frame... shoulda looked at this...

36" HI LIFT cast and steel jack - $20 off:

http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/garage/lifting-devices/jacks/8000713-36-hi-lift-cast-steel-jack

Note: Bought the huge one at CT because it was dirt cheap and with my straps and come-alongs is my only real recovery tool until I get the winch. This size would be more convenient for stowage/mounting and more than enough for jacking lifted KJs.
