When you want to remove/install snap rings :bounce: I have use them for the snap rings on my throttle body screen or fuel pressure regulator. And yes, you need them for rebuilding ratchets such as Craftsman (raised panel and thin profile), Matco, GearWrench, Armstrong...

Thanks. I got two, one for my dad and one for me. There're plenty left at my local store in Hyattsville, MD. They're not at the safety glasses aisle but on the far right of the store (when you enter), near the electrical aisle.

The number is 150. The whole number in the metal stamp is: PjWf-M150. Do you know what this means? Is this the model number?

I bought my first vise today from Craigslist. From the logo, I guess it's a FPU Bison Bial vise. It weighs about 55 pounds. It cost me $25. I'm gonna clean and lubricate it and put it to good use.

Hi John, it's nice hearing from you too. reptilezs pretty much covered all the tools. I'm still new to bike repairs so I just bought what are needed to perform the maintenance on my bike. Belows are the descriptions of some of the tools: - The wrench with the two "half-moons" is the Hozan lock...

I start commuting by bike again after a long time (since high-school). These tools were purchased in the last two weeks to work on the bike. Although it's a new bike, I used the tools to disassemble and repack the bottom bracket, front and rear hubs, adjust the derailleurs and brakes, install a...

Thanks a lot for the feedback John. Actually the price for the set was $65 shipped :D.

purplezr2 is a great seller. The socket set was very well packed and shipped instantly. Happy buyer here!

I bought a Snap On ratcheting screwdriver from DRhodes. The screwdriver was very well packed and shipped right on the next day. Another happy buyer here! This is my first SO screwdriver and I really enjoy it. Thanks a lot.

I also have the Makita 1/2 impact wrench. The Makita impact wrench was made in Japan though. I used it to remove the crankshaft bolt on my Buick Regal and it did that with ease. I'm not a professional mechanic so I haven't run into bolts that it could not remove ...yet. The only drawback of the...

I think you should get the LXT211: http://www.amazon.com/Makita-LXT211-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless/dp/B001DN1T6M/ref=pd_cp_hi_1. At least the batteries are 3.0 Ah not 1.5 Ah like in the white kit. And the blue kit is supposed to be built for professional use.

Purchased my first Snap On ratcheting screwdriver from a member here. This is a picture of it next to my Gearwrench ratcheting screwdriver.

The SO ratcheting screwdriver was delivered today. Thanks a lot for the prompt shipping. This is my first SO ratcheting screwdriver. I like it a lot.

Yes, they're the 1/4" and 3/8" flex. The 3/8" Gearwrench is thinner than my FLF80 and it is also 2 inches longer. I love my Snap On but this is very close.

Yeah, after I cleaned and greased the ratchets, each with a drop of Red Lube of Love, they become much smoother. The grease from factory looked crappy.
