i most often get my tools at the swap meet, but not always. i've been looking for a 1950s Snap-on NS-15-L breaker bar to mate with my 1956 Snap-on L-715 ratchet. i just won an example on the cheap from an ebay auction.

i received the NS-15-L breaker bar a week or so ago. to my surprise, like my L-715 ratchet, it was made in 1956. the seller underplayed his hand and described it as having pits and scuffs and "not very pretty but tight and ready to work." the breaker bar is as close to being in like-new/unused condition as you'll find on a breaker bar that's 60 years old.

I have those hex keys in 9 inch. I'm pretty sure they are rebranded eklind, just for your information... They both make great tools. And Nice screwdriver.

It was around $600 for the whole lot! I think it was a pretty good deal.

That's not cheap lol
Kid at my work makes 50$ a week, after tool bills, we make 22$+time and a half overtime
He's engaged...and doesn't pay anything of his own, he complains about it constantly but doesn't get that buying bulk tools that he doesn't need is his problem [emoji849]
Walks off the snap on truck with 500-1000 worth of stuff a week, makes the whole shop sick lol

CTC123? Was thinking of getting one. Helps get rid of multiple charger clutter I would imagine. What's the build quality like?

[Finky198]

^^^ My most used tool by a long shot. ^^^ I've added a 6' hose and that makes the ultimate mini torch I refill my own bottles from a big tank. The torch will last a long time if you take care of it.

Enjoy

 

[mfrantz90]

Matco 40 oz dead blow, matco wire strippers, matco master bolt grip puller, matco 88 tooth long handle locking flex head, snap on starter button, snap on bk5600 camera

I almost got the propane one for like $16 bucks, but then I decided that the MAP would be a better choice for my purposes.

 

[Finky198]

I use mine with bulk propane it will work perfectly fine either way.

What type of drill bit stand is that? Is it magnetic by chance?

 

[TonyCH]

Viper AN-hose and hose-end fitting tool:

I've been fitting them by hand but no more!

 

[MattVette89]

This sweet little Snap On mini ratcheting screwdriver arrived today. Unfortunately missing the larger flat blade shank, but I scored the whole thing for a killer deal.

I'd love to go with one of those...but can't justify the cost when I have 5 chargers already that came with the tools.

I have one of those guys, only worse -- early / mid 20's guy - He ******* about money / not making enough when he was started out at the highest hourly rate than anyone in our shops history....I've watched him, since he started 8 months or so, on the tool truck buy at least 4k in tools for home projects / personal cars and he rarely buys the stuff I tell him he needs to do his job...I recently found out he has, from his previous job, the HIGHEST SO credit balance I have ever heard off (asked him if he set up a whole auto repair shop at home or what ?)....and I had to twist his arm to get him to buy a basic 12v test light for the work we do.....

This kid spent 20k on snap on, bought a 9k box off matco, and about 5k Iirc from Cornwell,
And still buys more, the kid is an idiot, I have made tools but he has to borrow them because he won't ruin his precious snap on that doesn't get used [emoji849]

He bought all this and is a trailer mechanic...prolly 10k of what he bought is for trucks, that not only does he not work on but has no clue how and what some of the tools do...we all in the shop think he's a bit "speshial"

[Sam'sAutoParts]

Spent a gift card I got at Lowe's today. I was planning on buying mechanic tools, but I either didn't need it or I wasn't impressed, although I have to say the ratchets they have seem nice.


I also got this set of pry bars off Amazon last week.

we have a "speshial" one at our shop too....

everything is new, nice and shiney...

whole box fulla stuff, of course nothing he needs to really do his job with.

everything he does looks like a monkey tryin' to f*ck a football...

matco wire strippers,

those really are the best strippers. Especially considering the cost.

so far so good, what I like is it seems like my batteries dye at the same time so I can't finish what I'm doing, charging three at the same time is great. You can't charge six at the same time, oh well
