The Truck Tool Equivalents Thread 2.0 - Expanded with Part Numbers

[Strouty]

Weird, my driver had some that were hex dies, then just recently he offered them in the 12 point style.

I could also be insane.

 

[logixjock]

I went and looked at the website, the double hex sets are SnapOn now and the hex sets are BluePoint. No help on who actually makes them though. My driver always swore that if it said SnapOn on it, it was either made by them, or was one of their designs made by someone else that they had exclusive rights to and that BluePoint was always re-branded stuff they didn't have exclusive rights to. It did kind of seem that way over the years...

It looks to me like snapon half-moon wrench CX2024 is made by CAT.

https://parts.cat.com/en/catcorp/hand-tools/wrenches/cat-angle-wrenches/194-4935

I assume that they also make the similar wrenches, but I don't know.

FWIW, the truck premium is $4 in this case

 

[Strouty]

Snap On makes CAT tools, not the other way around.

Whoops, bad assumption on my part. Does explain the similar pricing.

That does hold pretty true. The majority of rebranded stuff is labeled Blue Point, with only a few exceptions with Snap-on tagged on them (Grip-on, Assenmacher, Kastar, Irwin, etc), but most are mainline stuff that Snap-on makes and sells under Williams or CAT, or stuff that Bahco or Sioux make (both owned by Snappy).

Whoops, bad assumption on my part. Does explain the similar pricing.

No matter what it is, if it says Snap-on or CAT on it, you're paying a premium!

Thanks to reddit user /u/mel0n_l0rd, I noticed that these Ullman picks -

Ullman tools - http://www.ullman-devices.com/scribers_hooks_picks/CHP8L_hook_n_pick_set.html

look an awful lot like these picks from Snap-on (Blue Point) and Matco.

Matco - https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/CHP8L/8-PIECE-LONG-HOOK-AND-PICK-SET-WITH-CUSHION-GRIP/

Blue Point - https://store.snapon.com/Picks-and-Scribes-Extra-Long-Blue-Point-174--6-pc-Extra-Long-Pick-Set-Blue-Point--P643181.aspx

Thoughts?

Yes, they are the same sets. I had the 4pc set listed (and the Matco & MAC 6pc). Added the Blue Point 6pc, and the 8pc Matco set to the list. Thanks!

How is this thread not a sticky? It's much more complete and up to date than the old one. I vote we retire the old one and make this one a sticky.

Saw that Bluepoint had this 3-can holder which HF doesn't, but looking at images saw that Eastwood actually has a whole set of 3-magnet holders AND paper towel holder!!!

HF is $9.99 each for the paper towel holder, 2-spray can holder, and magnetic tray

Gday,

any suggestions on equivalent for Mac Tools lt855 - 'Texas' Air Hammer Puller Kit?

Lock Technology model 855 is the original that MAC and Matco sells.

Now that looks handy.

 

[L.Cheapo]

Now that looks handy.

There's a thread on here somewhere within the last year about that tool, called the Texas Twister. IIRC, some thought they were ok, some didn't like them.

It's worthless.

 

[ihateminimumwage]

I was really interested in one until the reviews started pouring in about how the "U" basically worked like a spring.

 

[turndemwrenches]

Here's another one...Snapon SGSR4AR Seal Removal Tool Set.

These look oddly similar - but too cheap!

Good info here

 

[czgunner]

This is an awesome thread, thanks!

 

[Sudsy]

This is great stuff !

Do we have any idea who makes the 18 volt Snap-on drill and ratchet ??

Snap-on's cordless tools are their own. Only deals you're going to find are used.

 

[Sudsy]

That surprises me, figured of all the things they'd outsource, electric tools would be it.

Believe me, you're not the first (or last) to be surprised by that info. It took a while for me to accept it!

 

[ihateminimumwage]

Updated some of the Craftsman with a lot of red since the pinless impacts are gone, as well as all the Pro line and old school red handled pry bars by Wilde.

Anyone certain yet if AJ Manufacturing is making pinless impacts for Matco, or is it still what little of Armstrong's manufacturing is still pumping them out?

 

[tampamiketaylor]

Hey guys,

Now that the Armstrong flex head ratchets are discontinued what would be the Matco flex head ratchet alternative be? I see that some sites still sell the Armstrong but warranty is no longer lifetime replacement, etc.

RE: Armstrong 11-994 Maxx Locking Flex Ratchets

Thanks in advance!

Question: Are the Bahco XXXXSL (For example, 8150SL) amazonlink

The same mechanism but also quick release compared to the original 8150? I've seen conflicting data on whether these are 80tooth or 72 tooth.

 

[Kasal]

72, those with 80 teeth are those with a sealed head type Snap_on, except for 1/4, which is 72.

I made an account just to thank you for this well structured and comprehensive list!

Since you kept the discontinued tools here in red text, I was able to find a head rebuild kit for an old Matco torque wrench using this list. If the site I found it on didn't lie about their old stock, it should save me some money.

Cheers!

Great to hear! Always glad when this thread can help out!

Otc 5950A are the same as Mac 5950A

 

[Ctcarden62]

I just discovered this thread, AMAZING!! Thank you to everyone who has put this together.

 

[Dakkyz]

Does anyone know who makes these..

Snap-On - AWM140DK & AWMG9 - I've alway thought it was bondus but not 100% sure.

Mac Tools - SVDPM166BRPT - I believe these are made in Taiwan not sure if they are exclusively made for MAC though..

 

[Greg85mcss]

I might have missed it but I am looking at pneumatic brake bleeders and the Private Brand Tools pbt70852 looks a whole lot like the snap on. Anyone know either way about this?
