    Maybe I'm delirious at the moment. I laughed forever over that comment. My eyes teared up. Best laugh I've had in weeks. Thank you! :thumbup:

    Vise Grip for what?

    Either he cleaned them up in a blast cabinet before his last use or these were used specifically when he blasted something.

    I haven't personally ever seen those wrenches either. I have no idea their value/cost.

    My new underhood light (Bluepoint ECUB128)

    yogitech posted it on this site a few months ago. He posted it here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=258761&showall=1 Post #52 I'm getting one from my dealer this week. I have almost all the other 14.4v tools. I'm hoping it is a winner. He has yet to get any of the...

    Pawnshop tool deals?

    I think it is just hit or miss. The pawn shops in my town ****. Always junk tools, always insane prices. Some people's pawn shops rock.

    They look a lot like some of my Mac wrenches. Mac is owned by Stanley. Hopefully they are of the same quality. ;-) They are a good looking wrench! Cornwell sells a similar set for about $130. http://www.cornwelltools.com/webcat/products.php?product=CTG102MTAS-%252d-10-pc-Met-Trq-Adp-St-12-pt...

    Any advice picking a stubby 3/8 flex?

    I got a flex locking stubby 72 tooth ratchet of the Mac truck years ago. They stopped carrying it. It began skiping a lot the last couple years and it is not rebuildable. I have found no exact replacement. I love that ratchet. Closest I have found is the Matco. I've held the Snap-on and I...

    Semi-Deep SnapOn Sockets?

    I'm a "Snap-on Guy", but Matco has a 15" soft grip 3/8 breaker bar. I already have a Snap-on 12" soft grip, but still looking at getting a Matco due to liking their grips and the extra length. Give Matco's breaker bar a look before you shell out the dough. Snappy's is USA and Matco's is most...

    Long combo wrenches with a thin head

    On the VW's I'm referring to, their is no tab. It is meant to be free spinning. You are correct it is not a high torque setting, but rusted, frozen bolts become "high torque" applications. I understood the OP was talking about the pins that the caliper slides on. What I mentioned should be a...

    Long combo wrenches with a thin head

    I have ran into the same problem with rear calipers on a vw. Snap-on will fit where as Mac or a craftsman would not. I've never held a Matco wrench, so I can't compare. To my knowledge, Snap-on is the thinnest of the 4 truck brands. As another poster stated, might look at some non-usa brands...

    Mac extension exchanged.

    I would guess he meant to ask is it USA made or a Stanley off shore (Taiwan) product? Too my knowledge, they are still USA made, but I could be mistaken.
