    New ICON coolant pressure tester

    I agree that it's great to see new products released but, I'm on the fence about these. The price seems a bit high at first until you count up the cost of all of the individual adapters. Then it's a bargain if the adapters are decently made. The vacuum filler set lacks seals or adapters and...

    Astro Pneumatic Tool Company

    I picked up the larger 3 mini pry bars branded LaBear off Amazon awhile back. Look to be the same as Astro :dunno: pretty beefy in a small package. :beer:

    Why the heartburn with Craftsman?

    Bebop over to Cripe Distributing either at their Ebay store or at their website. They used to have a bunch of larger US Made KD and Armstrong combination wrenches reasonably priced.

    Is anybody still buying modern SK Tools?

    Back to the original question, yes, I've purchased a few Great Star SK tools. Some like the 12 piece metric extra long bolt extractor combination wrench set have been great while others like the 90 tooth 1/4 drive pear head ratchet I didn't care for due to its high back drag. Like many brands...

    Stubby Universals?

    Interesting concept but, the photo doesn't sell me. :dunno: I think I like the compactness of my matco 1/4 drive pinless impact sockets more. The examples shown just look too bulky to me. Take a ko-ken zeal 1/4 drive swivel socket and mate it a short hex impact extension for use with a cordless...

    It has 14 stripes

    The Snap on flag box pictured above is probably one of the ugliest Snap on boxes I've ever seen. :wtf: Perhaps Snappy needs to take a look at Sunex & Craftsman versions for inspiration :lol: https://sunextools.com/products/american-eagle-250th-juic-d-box-50-7-drawer-powered-cart-black

    Harry J Epstein Day 2026

    Hey, not to get all maudlin but, seeing the field jacket liner on the back of the chair made me think of your Dad and how it would have been nice for him to see this Epstein's day. :beer: On a side note, the three new hires can help with the mysterious liquidation purchase after the Epstein's...

    PSA - Actron products and all product support discontinued

    Yes, the old Tech One and the more recent (kind of) Tech Two. Great tools in their day. I think Bosch makes the current MDI for GM and the IDS for Ford. Actron is an old brand. It was the DIY brand from OTC for years long before Bosch bought OTC. What year vehicles are you using the Actron...
