    Snap-On “Dished Tip” Trim Pad Tools

    Here's a couple pictures of one... Dish only on the backside/bottom Deeper than the 1/32" I previously posted. Similar to the older tool, but rounder

    Snap-On “Dished Tip” Trim Pad Tools

    The dish is a slight circular indent in the fork. Maybe 1/32” deep. I didn’t see a good picture Showing it. The picture I attached isn’t correct, but kinda gives you an idea.

    Air compressor clean out?

    I personally think that this is way over thought, or an old wives tale that the plug shouldn’t be removed. It‘s a plug. I removed one and reinstalled it without any issues. Granted, the one that I removed wasn’t corroded. It was tight, but not excessive. If it wasn’t meant to be removed, I...

    Buying a rough Challenger E10 stored outside.

    Not sure, but you could probably have a local hydraulic/hose shop duplicate the hoses cheaper than buying from the manufacturer… just a thought

    Fireball Compact Hardtail Vise

    Excellent! I was kinda concerned myself, knowing how delivery companies throw **** around. It comes mounted on a piece of plywood, in a heavy duty box marked “Fragile” Had styrofoam pieces holding it in place. Delivered by Fed-ex. I was home when it arrived. Driver gently sat it down before I...

    Fireball Compact Hardtail Vise

    I’ve had my Fireball Compact for only a month or so. I wanted/needed a larger vise for some time, so I bought one. Looked at used older vises for quite a while, & finally said **** It & pulled the trigger. So far, no complaints, or regrets. I think a fair, if not very fair price for what it...

    What’s the point of “impact” extensions in common drive sizes?

    “I think that's a pretty inaccurate statement. I have seen a bunch sold as being impact rated.” I should have stated Not All… like I posted, S/O MAC & MATCO are stamped all manufacturers are different, but some, at least the ones I own are stamped YMMV

    Digital tire inflator?

    I have two of the Blue Point digital that Zimman has pictured. I think same as the Snap on the OP is asking about. Maybe a little updated each to his own, but I love them well… except for the price always dead nuts & personally the battery hasn’t been an issue. Like the light feature for at...

    What’s the point of “impact” extensions in common drive sizes?

    Not All industrial finished or black oxide sockets & extensions are impact rated… at least Snap on & MAC. Maybe Matco too I have seen many times people not looking, or even knowing this. Socket or extension will be stamped non impact rated, or something similar Back in the day, I don’t think...

    Old Handy lift table (anyone else using an OG table?)

    I bought mine new 10/12 years ago… I didn’t want to drop the coin that it cost, but after owning it, I have never regretted it. I had cheaper different lifts for years… Even though they accomplish the same thing, there’s not much of a comparison. The build quality and operation of the Handy is...

    LMAO

    ^^ This is definitely the case sometimes… Other times it is people aren’t in reality & have no F’n clue! Or… Its old. That means it’s an antique. ALL antiques are worth a lot of money

    Torque Wrench Checker

    I just had my 3/8” drive Tech Angle calibrated a month ago… certificate was $35 extra, which I didn’t get due to it being my personal t/w for home. It did have a dated decal on it… Certificate isn’t going to tell you if adjustments were needed/done. Just proof that it was calibrated. Some...

    2 sandblasting cabinets

    If you have the room, I’d keep both… As others have stated, run two different types/grade media.
