    Snap-On Toolboxes?

    Go to Harbor Freight and buy a screwdriver. Get the "same" screw driver off of the Snap-On Truck. Use them both a week and tell me they are the same. The tool boxes work the same way.... you pay for the quality.

    PowerProbe Time

    Not really related to the topic but I have a question for the masses.....What does a power probe do that a well trained tech and a multimeter can't? I have tried to justify one to myself on many trips to the truck but do not know what what I would use it for. Please explain the advantages......

    Breaker bars. Under utilized?
