thanks for the chance

The current Hot Rod Magazine has a coupon for $169 for the 5 drawer cart

My ratchet count is up to well over 100, most of which would be considered vintage. My favorite is a beat up old 3/8 drive Bonney T-35, not because it was the most expensive, or the smoothest to use, but because it was my Dad's.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but for some time Sears has been stocking a 1/4" flex-head SK ratchet. The $39.99 price was too much for me, so I didn't pay much attention to it. About 3 weeks ago, I stopped in the the local mall Sears to check the clearance section. The SK ratchets were on...

I gave one of those Ashland grinders to my Dad for a birthday present in the early 70's. He gave it to me when I bought my house in 1988. I still use it all of the time, it's a good tool.

Non-pro, I haven't counted in a while, but its got to be getting close to 100. It's all the GarageJournal's fault

I got the metric gearwrench hex keys for $14.97, and the SAE set for $11.97

I'll be 52 next month, the day after my youngest child turns 18.

Small world Hank, I was also born and raised in Elyria, actually drove by the Ridge Tool factory yesterday on my way to a graduation party. I married a Lorain girl and live in Lorain now. When and where did you live?

Mine came the other day, very nice, Thank you

I'd like one, PM sent

The wrench next to the Fairmount was made by Vlchek. Both Vlchek and Fairmount were made in Cleveland. I find alot of wrenches from both brands at the local fleamarkets

I remember that Griot's used to have that set in their catalog years ago, don't remember what it cost then.

#1000 was the last one I ordered off of the website, is there a #1100?

I've been checking the snap on website periodically and there is no longer a link to order the printed catalogs. Have they stopped selling them? I have the last 6 or 7 catalogs, and I've been looking forward to the next one.
