I use valve grinding compound till they loosen up then flood it out with penetrating oil.

Basically they just have two different shape heads New England has more of a nicely rounded taper to the head while the standard more of a boxy shape. I imagine most people would prefer the NE style since it might give you better clearance in tighter spaces.

I haven't seen any newer wrenches in person since the local dealer closed but pretty sure there a thread on here with a photo showing the made in Canada on the back side of the wrench.

I would second T&B terminals, other ones that I really like are Ancor terminals that you should be able to find at a marine supply shop. http://www.marinco.com/productline/connectors-terminals

I bet he was pissed off, I know I would be too if I was picked up by a claw drenched in red permatex lube

How about getting a Klein 10-in-1 screwdriver just for the bits and adapters with the retaining ball? Only thing it's missing is the the metric hex bits but with the adapters any 1/4" bit would work. http://www.mytoolstore.com/klein/32477.html

Can't really blame the guy since he probably lifted the info off the snap-on site... If you type in any old SO 3/8" ratchets part number the f80 comes up.

can't see any in my catalog.

Sorry I remembered this backwards but you have to remove a guide pin off the battery if you wan't to use the compact battery in the green drills. Keeps people from buying the cheaper batteries for spares. I heard from some guys locally to go for the green model but check out post #6 in this...

The white ones are cheaper built that from what I've read have weaker drive gears that easily strip out. The white ones can use the 3ah batteries but you have to file off a plastic guide on the drill.

Here's the pn# rkrfc936 for the rebuild kit.

Just add a "*" after SK and it will work, but it will also pick up word containing sk.

Well they did use something really similar on these line wrenches. http://cgi.ebay.ca/snap-on-flare-nut-wrenches_W0QQitemZ300275488747QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item300275488747&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A3|39%3A1|240%3A1318

I saw this old grey snap-on case last week and nobody bid so here a link to auction. I'm sure someone could use it for their old socket collection...

I can only find a craftsman 1-1/2 in 3/4 drive but they do have 1-1/2" sk in 1/2" drive Deep: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00997214000P Short: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00997205000P?vName=Tools&keyword=34048
