    no one will ever believe what I just got on Craigslist

    Yeah snap on doesn't rebage. They might source some parts but you can bet it was built by a guy who gets paid way to much to assemble grinders all day and I don't care because like every thing else snap onit runs just to smooth.

    Idk what sticker? I paid the guy 20 bucks. He was having a fire sell. Something about the irs he tried to sell me to snap on boxes but I couldn't move them and he wanted to sell his whole shop that day. He said he was going live in his million dollars plus motor home. Idk but the things...

    Homemade electrolysis. What do you use?

    Could be actually but it seems to be related directly to voltage. I can't think of anything copper in the solution. I'm running on arm and hammer laundry booster a plastic bucket and still gator clips. Could it be in the actual bars from lows?

    Homemade electrolysis. What do you use?

    A lot of these are way over built. The the part that you pust the positive voltage on is being destroyed in the process. I think the easiest cheapest and most replaceable the better. I wouldn't buil something here or use something that is not dirt cheap because your converting it into...

    What is your opinion of this toolbox?

    I don't know this box but if it has the ball bearing sliders I'd buy it. Its a great box but you want ball bearing slides it is so much better. I know people who want to believe that snap on is the same as everything else but the truth is their is only really 3 other brands that come close to...

    Homemade electrolysis. What do you use?

    This is great. I just built one the other day. It works great but I've found that running less voltage and lower amps for a longer time is the way to go. Using a 2 amp 6 volt charger will give you a green oxidation over your tool. Running on a 5 volt .5 amp dc power supply and about 24 hours...

    Tools you shouldn't have to buy but do.

    I bought the snap on chain pipe cutter. I still don't understand how this is supposed to cut an exhost pipe. I've been scratching my head for years now. I actually think it would have been a good chain wrench if it didn't have those cutter wheels on the chain. The same guy sold me set of them...

    Replacement bearings for this block grinder?

    Since you have the old one you can simply take it to any good auto parts guy and get the right one. I don't like buying things like that online. Its to much trouble when it doesn't work out.

    harbor freight. just an obsevation

    I hate hf. It really aggravated me when guys I was working with would bring that trash to the shop and hurt themselves or damage a vehicle because it bracks so easy. Real tools are x rayed for cracks and ping tested for strength. Don't waste your cash on trash. It doesn't surprise me that...

    Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff!

    Re: ~ Plomb tool picture thread - show your stuff! Hello guys I got this the other day and I was going to use it but I since found it that it is a pretty rare so I cleaned it up and I believe it counts as both plomb and proto at the same time. I might even sell it.
