I don’t know why but I just don’t like the look of the soft handle. I know it’s petty and dumb but I just don’t like it

Why?! Are they dumb. No way they didn’t sell. Now good luck getting certain models. If I would have known they were going to F this up I would have just bought what I wanted. But now the gouge is already out of control. 169.99 from the truck (prior to being canceled) now 300 plus on flea bay. 🤬

The price of Snap On has a markup of crazy proportions for a multitude of reasons. One is expected warranty rates. If Snap On won’t warranty then call back and get a different person. Also, drivers should fix it. If a driver won’t, find another one. Even morally, no one should ever feel bad...

And by send them back: call zoro. Tell them the sizes that are messed up. Send pictures if needed and have them send you individuals of the ones that are bad. Reasoning is maybe it’s a bad run of sets and the individuals may be from a different lot. At least there is a good chance. Edit: Wright...

Send those back…

You should do a toolbox tour based on all the comments I have seen!!!! I give it 4-5 hours.

Where did you find the one with the adjustable end! Been looking for it for ages!!!

Well, Today my 25’ Stanley Powerlock Tape died. I wish I could truly have documented the amount of projects this tape participated in. Four homes, five states and probably two decades of service. Just thought it would be fun to make a thread where we could give odes to tools that have passed...

Order 6624! Thanks HJE!

Of note half the iPhone chips are made in Korea…Also whole thing designed in the US…and some parts (not the Korean ones) are also not made in China. They ship all the stuff to China and have Chinese labor assemble. Source: I have taken apart every other generation of iPhone from the OG to iPhone...

You would be absolutely SHOCKED at some of the stories I have heard from the Naval Aviation History Museum and WWII Museum curators. X person would come in from the New Orleans trash sort with a book of personal photos from the beaches of Normandy. It was in the f’ing trash. Others are machine...

Just please don’t be the person on eBay trying to sell new or USED snap on stuff for more than on the Snap On website… it’s becoming a really annoying pattern. The whole point of used on eBay is a deal off new for a buyer and a seller reaching a much greater marketplace with a good chance of a...

If you look at tools of Japan someone just bought one but Tone Tools makes a 427mm (~16.9 in…“69” 😉) 3/8 flex head quick release ratchet. On Amazon right now for $73.07 shipped. It indexes but does not lock which is a good compromise. Locking flex in that length is going to drive up the price...

Well I can get a great deal on the Lisle so I am going to do the Lisle set with pointies and the Lisle spoon set. Also getting the Lang 2 pc set, looks like the ticket for larger lower/upper radiator hoses. Thanks gang for the awesome inputs!
