My first one was a gray Craftsman, no drawers, lift out tray. Got in the '70s and repainted it black after it rusted. It got stolen so I upgraded to 2 drawer model: This one is now relegated to the hated SAE sizes, and I use a couple of RollAways and a bigger box.

get Escos from Amazon and inspect the fugly welds very carefully - return if bad

your funnel rack needs a dust cover!

When did Snap-On instigate a lifetime warranty? Also like to hear more about the quality dip...

I'm waiting for the posts on autoclaving funnels

Yes, they do.

you could not be more wrong... https://mossmotors.com/tool-kit-su-carburetor

yeh Webers and PMOs do. I should know about Zeniths and Solexes but I don't. You also got SUs and I dunno what else back in the day... Even British junk might be somebody's prized old car (I dunno why tho)

The cleanliness of your oil change funnel should be proportional to the cost of an engine rebuild. I wipe mine out and flip it upside down on with something covering the small end to keep out dirt

you might be working on somebody's prized vintage sports car tho

one thing about a smooth surface finish - it's easy to clean

I always keep a spray can of it in the garage for the nostalgia. It is in the "Heritage Lubricants" section.

Thanks - I get a hair under 12mm thick ("3/8" BFR8T head is 0.47" thick") which is thicker than the low profile Ko-ken ratchet, but thinner than the their regular 3/8 ratchet. https://palmac.net/koken-z-series-3725z-t72-reversible-ratchet-3-8-sq-dr/ I see the big advantage of Matco in those...

I'd also like to restrict Bristol Spline to the Bristol city limits.
