    Snapon Multimeter question

    I'm not attempting to hook the meter in series in a circuit for measuring amperage. I'm also not attempting to Ohm anything out in my question. I understand that I would need to isolate and disconnect a part of a circuit before attempting to send current through it to test for resistance. My...

    Snapon Multimeter question

    Thanks for the response. I also have one more question, if anyone may be able to answer it for me. Though it is a auto-range meter, it does have a manual range feature. If I were to set this meter in Manual Range Mode, then measured beyond the manual range that it was set to--if the meter...

    Snapon Multimeter question

    Hello, I received a new EEDM525E Snapon multimeter today in the mail. I had an exchange because my last one arrived with the screen scratched up. This one arrived perfectly fine it seems. However, it flashes between negative and positive polarity at 0v, -0v with the leads unplugged or plugged...

    Your Favorite HF Tool

    I have almost just about every hand tool from HF for me to not worry about banging up. I really like their 1/2" drive 25" breaker bar with a comfort grip. Item 62729

    Tools of Japan

    i saw these as well on their site for the same price. http://ktc.jp/news/65890 it seems the main difference with the other models is solely as display/art pieces with the lacquered handle that inlays meticulous "techniques" that's mentioned in the description, such as "kinpaku"--inlaid linings...

    Tools of Japan

    Not that I own any of these ratchets, but check out these KTC ratchets with handmade lacquered handles. Their just display pieces even though they are functional, still pretty cool though. KTC makes 'em. Prices range between $2,000-$4,000+ depending on the design. :eek: :eek...

    Your experience with Snap-on warranty/refund?

    Just to update, in case of any other students that may run across this thread in the future by doing a search or something.. I figured I should end this thread with what happened. Snap-On did eventually send me a prepaid postage to do an exchange. It just took about a week with requesting...

    Your experience with Snap-on warranty/refund?

    Just an update At this point, I emailed my Snap-On account manager of the whole ordeal mentioning how things seem to be stuck with my call back being constantly pushed back since this Tuesday with no response of any way to have an exchange or anything other than just being told to wait for them...

    Your experience with Snap-on warranty/refund?

    @kd3pc Though I purchased through their SEP website, I had it shipped directly to my house address instead of my school's without going through anything with the school rep. at any point or even having to mention anything to my instructor or school rep. of my purchase. So, I'm not too sure if he...

    Your experience with Snap-on warranty/refund?

    I went with JimNC's advice of going with live chat, so that I could keep the transcript for my records. I censored the Snap-On live chat assistant's name for privacy. To shorten some of the conversation and get straight to the point, it lead to the following below.. Just a bit worried at this...

    Your experience with Snap-on warranty/refund?

    I was curious if any other members on this board had any unusual experience(s) with Snap-On's customer service/warranty for hand tools? I recently purchased a SAE & Metric set of the double flare nut wrenches off their official website with my student account @ sep.snapon.com. Both sets arrived...
