    Torque wrenches - flex head vs. fixed head?

    I have flex head in both. I’m happy with them and see no need to change to fixed.

    Which angle grinder do you like?

    We weld pipelines for a living and we are pumping out hundreds of joints a day. We use Metabo with great success. The others we have tried didn’t last. For a home guy in his garage any of the big names should work fine. If it were me I’d buy the Metabo and call it done

    Just bought an FJ300 jack.

    I have an FJ300. Got a great deal on it thrown in with other things I bought. Extremely happy with it. It gets under my lowered car and lifts it high enough to slide the 12” raceramp cribs under the tires. It’s functioned perfectly. If people want to buy the HF one so be it. People can spend...

    Why wont the other SO dealer answer my phone?

    I've bought power tools cash from a snap on truck that was in a parking lot. Gave me a good deal I gave him cash. He didn't care what my name was and he didn't ask. There are many purchases with no traceability to the original owner. I've never been told no because I wasn't the original...

    Interesting Snap On Warranty Experiance

    Was looking for detent for 2 drawers on my 1023. Got talking to the person on the phone and they thought I was referring to the sliders. He was just going to send me two free slider sets. I was impressed. Told him that I was only looking for the detents on 2 drawers. He said ok and sent me a set...

    Oil filter wrench... never used this type

    I use 2 types First one http://www.lislecorp.com/divisions/products/?product=577&division=1&category=9 Second http://www.lislecorp.com/divisions/products/?product=377&division=1&category=9 Both are great for limited space. The strap version has saved my *** big time in the past

    New Video Snap-on vs Milwaukee Cordless

    While I agree with you on it I think the 15 seconds is a little irrelevant if the rate at which it climbs is not constant. Especially if it is being used for 1 to 5 seconds only. I'm certainly not going to sit there with it hammering away for 15 seconds hoping the bolt/nut is going to come off...

    New Video Snap-on vs Milwaukee Cordless

    Maybe it's just me however using my half-inch impact I've never stayed on a bolt with the trigger pulled for 15 seconds so I don't know how that's relevant. I understand that the 15 second test enables that there is a constant for comparing the two units but my half-inch impact typically...

    Who makes the best gas can?

    I use a tuffjug for mixing my fuel for the 1965 Vette motor. The air release nozzle on the end is fantastic. They make a small adapter for small fuel inlets
