    Snap on prices...

    Snap on prices **** no doubt. The stuff they make is the best though imo. Even the stuff they dont make is still high quality. I cant think of a single snap on tool i have that is junk or lacking quality. If snap on is worth the price is the whole trick of it. I dont regret buying any of the...

    What tools for changing your own car tires?

    You should film it, not to be a **** but I would love to watch that. I'm just saying it would be very entertaining I think. I've done a bunch of ATV tires that are to small or to big to fit the machine or we didn't have the proper adapter for the machine. I like to think I'm fairly experienced...

    Any experience with Mechanics Time Saver Lock a socket?

    I have them in my cart, i like them. The magnet is strong enough they dont tip over when moving the cart. I dont think i ever really lock them. Whats nice is the different size locks fits on all the rails. So i have sets that are 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 all on the same rail. I never move the rails...

    Snap On toolbox help please

    I think its a 70th anniversary but i cant remember the model numbers. I had one of those for awhile, its a nice box. I'd say thats fair if the top and bottom are included depending on the condition. I paid that for just the bottom a long time ago but have since sold it. Well I know mine had...

    Did I wire this correctly/safely?

    Thanks guys for all the help. The general consensus seems to be its safe enough so I think I'll just leave it until I save enough to get a nice welder, which should be soon anyway cause I'm hooked. The welder definitely only has 3 wires, 2 hots I guess and a ground. You wouldn't normally be...

    Did I wire this correctly/safely?

    It didn't come with any plug, just 3 bare wires. I'm guessing because you can run it as 110 or 220 so they don't include the plug. It's not a fluke either in the q&a section on amazon you can tell no ones came with a plug. I did find this...

    Did I wire this correctly/safely?

    I was thinking about leaving that range or whatever plug on there and getting a receptacle to put on the welder but I didn't know which color wires were going where on the plug and by cutting off the end and just using the cord I could use the green for ground and the other colors however I...

    Did I wire this correctly/safely?

    I've never welded before but always wanted to. So I bought one of the cheapest stick welders I could find and figured if I liked it I would upgrade later. The welder was less than 100 bucks shipped. I got a cheap welding mask, some rod, gloves, a slag chisel and brush. I think everything all...

    Sealed Head Air Ratchets

    I have that sp one, i like it. Mines a 1/4 inch though, when its to weak to break something loose i just use it as a normal ratchet to break it loose first. That proto one looks sweet though, i probably would have gotten that if i would have known of it at the time. The sp one is good though...

    Wrench sizes for metric bolts

    That explains it. I've always wondered what causes this, the problem I run into a lot is with cheap after market accessories, usually kuryakyn if I remember right. Metric and standard do not fit, the only thing that fits is the crappy hex key that come with it. Of course that rounds off if you...

    My Worth 12000EWT 4 post lift experience so far...

    Good to know, they might make the motorcycle lifts also im not sure. We asked our guy even showed him pics when we were looking for new racks and he said they made them but we could never find anything definitive. He also said it was the same company which we couldnt verify either so we gave...

    My Worth 12000EWT 4 post lift experience so far...

    I wonder if you would be better off finding out who makes the lift and going to them if thats the case. The reason I say that is the motorcycle lift on their site is very common and I doubt worth is making them (i could be wrong though). It seems everyone slaps their name on that mc lift marks...
