Just recently found a mostly-complete set of Husky 1/4" sockets. Saw it out of the corner of my eye while I was sitting at a red light. I had enough time to go out and pick it up before the light went green. Nothing special, but they are lifetime warranty.

Thanks everyone. I'll probably epoxy the grip on the 2007 ratchet. I may even tape everything off and very lightly sandblast the shank so the epoxy has somewhere to bite. The ratchet itself works great. I just don't wanna kill myself using it.

Yep. It was on there as good as I'd expect. I couldn't move it. Last night, I got the new green grip good and hot, then slid it on the 2015 ratchet. It slid all the way on by hand, but I gave it a little tap anyway to make sure. Then I immediately set it somewhere safe and let it cool on...

Hi all, Sorry to start yet another thread about the Snap-on comfort grips, but I think I'm losing my mind here. Thank you to anyone that takes the time to read through this. I bought a used FHLF80 some time ago. It's a 2007. I'd always wanted one, but couldn't afford new. No rebuild...

I wanted a 3/8" flex head ratchet for a long time, but couldn't swing a Snap-On. I ended up buying the Duralast. It's a nice smooth, reliable ratchet. It can't be beat, bang for the buck. I ended up trading my original one in after a LOT of use because the flex head torx screw stripped out...

I spent some hours with my new FH936A last weekend. Since I bought it, I've given it my usual treatment (disassembled, degreased, clipped, lubed, reassembled). It is a nice ratchet for sure. Time will tell as far as where I rank it in the collection, but it felt good to use immediately...

Thank you. I have no doubt that it's a great tool, and I'm still happy to add it to the collection. It just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I have a FHLF80 already and I wanted the "regular" size non-flex ratchet to go with it. Lot of melting happening in eastern MA, so I'll be in my...

Hi all, resident idiot here. I picked up an FH936A ratchet on ebay thinking that it was an 80-tooth. Bummer, it's a 36. At least I know how the part numbering scheme works now. Stupid question (since I can't see why Snap-on would do this in the first place) but is there any way to retrofit...

That would be great. I think the fact that they charge for the info is why there isn't much out there on the internet. I've been hunting around a bit on their forums though. I should probably create an account over there. The $50 charge for dating boxes, the $15 charge for new keys, the $30...

A ha! Now we're getting somewhere. I did more cleaning last night. How I managed to miss this before, I'll never know: Also, I figured out how to gently remove the front door. Once I had it out and I did some dusting, I found this on the inside of the bottom panel: According to...

Damn, nothing that I can see on the inside of the case. I took every drawer out and hunted around for anything I could see. Nothing on the drawers themselves, nothing on the back, nothing on the bottom. I need figure out how to get the door off. That's really the part that needs the most...

Thanks everyone! After some research, it turns out it is a private-labeled Gerstner 41, made from mahogany. The pictures don't do it justice (I wish I could figure out my wife's camera). This is some beautiful wood. I can't wait to shine this up! Other than the key, it's not missing a...

I was just given this Starrett tool box from a close friend who's moving away. It's in decent shape other than the fold-down door (some cracks) and the leather handle. I haven't found any markings on the outside other than the Starrett plaque on the bottom drawer. I still need to clean...

Thanks for the recommendations. I've actually been looking at those Masterflow compressors. The compressor is actually what I used the most on the crappy jump pack I had. Looks like the reviews are pretty good no matter where you look, and there are a few in the lineup that look pretty beefy for...

My battery-powered mini compressor/jumpstarter is on its last legs. It needs the battery replaced, but the compressor is barely working, so I think I might just junk it. It's a no-name POS that I bought in a pinch and I've never been thrilled with it. My workplace has this one...
