I shatter at least two Snap-On tips a year in PH2, T15, or T20. Sometimes I twist the flutes on T20s as well.

I have a Huot 13175, the "Master Drill Cabinet" that holds between 12 and 24 of every drill size from A-Z, 1-60, and 1/16-1/2. There's a fourth drawer in the bottom and I designed and 3d printed trays to hold some silver & deming drills, step drills, end mills, and annular cutters down there...

The only tools your future generations will need are some hand tools to do little handy tasks around the house, maybe a drill. They won't need more than that unless they have fabrication hobbies or really want to tinker. There won't be a career as a mechanic in the future outside of one working...

I did stainless 1/4-20 rivnuts with it on my Alu-Cab tent and it really didn't seem to struggle - so at least anecdotally, it doesn't seem limited to brass.

For what it's worth, I think most service truck mechanics have hydraulic oil and/or brakleen on literally every single thing in their truck most of the time. Hard to stay clean in the field.

Eagle Mfg 60gal Corrosive Storage Cabinet. Fire safe + corrosive containment. 30"x30"x60". I have an older one, the new model (identical) is CRA62X

One of the nice things about this Icon set is that the box is designed to keep a completely assembled puller of any of the sizes in the box alongside all the pieces.

I'm curious if the Icon adapters fit the Snap-On pressure tester I've been using for years, I think made by Stant. I've thought about buying one of these big kits from a different brand just for more adapters rather than paying Snap-On prices for tools I won't use frequently and probably work...

I actually use a Snap-On mini pry bar with a small hammer as a chisel to knock beads of weld spatter out of small crevices really often. Just feels like the right tool for the job. I'd probably use one with a striking cap if I had it.

Man, those Lobsters look slick. I kinda wanna try one.

I wonder if HJE will get a bunch of Martin service wrenches in. I'd be interested in building a jumbo set with some skips if they get a variety in.

I have an older OTC one that looks a lot like the Lisle one. It's worked fine for wiper arms and corroded terminals for me.

I have a huge variety of Snap-On, OTC, Posi-lock, Astro, Matco, and Tiger Tool pullers. Big fan of pullers. I picked up the Icon master and long jaw sets, and they're both really excellent, totally equivalent quality to any of my others. I picked up the Icon ball joint press set at a parking lot...

I'm really partial to my old Snap-On shears, PDS3. I love the smooth lines and shape, the simple trigger, and the blasted finish. It has aged really well, and is definitely one of the most beautiful tools I own. Still snips aluminum well too :)

Oh, I'm in. Would be nice to keep in the truck.
