    Is Lowes getting rid of Kobalt?

    Y'all crack me up. It the back up to the already crappy tool line. It's like saying, "here's our good china ****, and here's our crappy china ****". They'll probably sell out.

    You sooooo did not get screwed! I'd love to have that vise and would gladly pay 2 or 3 times that. Score!!!

    The Power Probe

    With a clearer mind, I too saved it this morning, thanks :) Now I just have to figure out how to read a wiring diagram!!

    The Power Probe

    My point is he was helpful, and it only took a simple phone call. That's it. I admit I **** at electrical, and web anything, and it's nice to have good customer service. That's all.

    The Power Probe

    Sorry. I've had a few to drink. I thought I had a short. The probe went nuts reading 6-7 volts and changing from green to red. I took it as a power wire grounding out somewhere. So I called. He asked year make model and I described the actual plug and which wire. From that he was able to tell me...

    The Power Probe

    The power probe is in a nutshell, a fancy test light, ground tester, that will give voltage, and send power at will. If you're just starting out and don't yet understand basic auto electrics, I'd say get a test light, then a multimeter, and then a power probe.

    The Power Probe

    I believe in giving credit where it's due, and giving hell to where it's due as well. The hell part I'll save and just say it'd be directed toward matco and one of their Taiwan tools and the available parts and the fact that a $460 tool can be held hostage to a $4.85 gear that seems to be stuck...

    Who’s making a good 3/8 pneumatic ratchet these days

    I have this one too. Well it may be the predecessor because mine is 7 years old, use it everyday along with its 1/4 little brother. Arguably some of macs best stuff out. :)

    Fair price for a Snap-On Classic 96 Box?

    I meant the handle pulls are aluminum. Not the whole box. Sorry my bad for the omission. I still am lost as to the rumors and blanket statements you speak of. I'm basing my statements on what I've seen in the shop and the prices on the truck. You sound like a real expert on this stuff and...

    Fair price for a Snap-On Classic 96 Box?

    How is this wrong when you then agree with me? And how is it a rumor? The main difference is the thickness if the metal, the drawer depth, the weight capacity of the slides and if you want the quality of the handles. If I remember correctly, they are stamped aluminum vs billet aluminum. Correct...

    KR-562A My taco cart restore

    I guess I'll chime in. Matco is the same. Call and they'll send them to you. Free. On a side note, those crappy boxes from tractor supply, same deal. I know because I drove a car into a coworkers box one day. I called to buy drawers, and they sent them all for free! She said she had no way to...

    Fair price for a Snap-On Classic 96 Box?

    I know a couple of guys that bought them used for 2000, 2500. But I wouldn't. They're not nearly as stout as the other snappers.
