Just wondering, did anybody get the plug and chain that goes into the inlet hole when the hose is off? The picture on cpo shows it on the vacuum.

The owners manual. For the 12 gallon tells you not to pick it up by the lboxx or Systainer handle. I had the same idea

So far, the 44 vacuum and 2 of the 5” variable speed 12 amp grinders have arrived. I haven’t got the two 7” angle grinders or the two 4 1/2 angle or the refurbished shear. The 5 inches variable speed are made in China but seem very stout, I like the way the guard ratchets around to different...

Yeah, I went back to add 2 variable speed 12 amp angle grinders and the price went up when I put them in the cart so most of the grinder deals are gone.

They are on cpo for cyber monday at a really low price. The 7 inch was 44.52 and didn't meet the 50$ minimum for free shipping so i bought 2 of them. The 9 inch is a good price also

Its a harmonic damper, it dampens or absorbs harmonic waves, it you weld them solid you greatly accelerate wear on other engine parts, timing gears, chains oil pump etc. And frequently you'll snap a crankshaft as many racers found out back in the 50's and 60's. Some of them are harmonic...

I see it alot here in the desert on cars over 10 years old and over 100k miles. I had one volvo customer have it separate completely, drop out of the bottom and go rolling across the intersection while he was sitting at a light. Common on older volvo 4 cylinder turbos and non turbo. If you...

I have sets of Snap on ,Craftsman,Proto,Gearwrench, and some Sk,some Husky early. I never bought much SK because back in the 70's when it was sold at Kmart i got the impression it was poor quality.... Anyway the sockets i use everyday are the Gearwrench. The numbers are stamped deep so that my...

Just wondering about my 2 piece ratchet sets that were ordered on 6/15? The estimated ship date was sept. 9

I don't own one but i use one alot at my friend's wrought iron shop. Its a scotchman and is used with coolant/cuttinglube. There is no comparison to a band saw or a metal cutoff saw. The cuts are not ultraprecise but they are much better than band or cutoff. I'd have one in a second for...

500 plus for me, thats over a 40 year period and during the 80's and 90 's there were a lot of junk tools. Mostly Craftsman screwdrivers, some snapon screwdrivers, wrenches rarely except for chrome peeling. Snap on sockets one every 3 or 4 months. Cheap dead blow hammers from harbor...

I've been a mechanic for 40 years, in the beginning i bought all snapon screwdrivers, they were fine for the times and used a set of craftsman for abusing such as prybars or accidentally or intentionally arcing some thing. Over the years the snapon hard handles have all crumbled away and they...
