I haven't had much luck finding replacement wheels for this old engine hoist/lift/crane. It's from the 1960s I think. The model is C-2000 and it is a 2,000 pound rated crane. I need both the front and rear wheel sets. Any tips on where to look? Thanks!

Hey guys, maybe I should have mentioned this . . . a serious injury to my right hand many years ago left me with only limited use of it. Using a gas powered saw for me is not only very difficult but also very dangerous. When I have to have a gas saw and my sawz all won't do the job I've got...

I've been looking at this DeWalt and was wondering what you guys think. Do you have any other brands/models suggestions other than the DeWalt? I'll just be using it for down trees, limbs, pruning and maybe 10 to 12 inch small pine trees around the farm here. DeWalt DCCS690H1 40V MAX Cordless...

my neighbor and good friend's Bow got bent . . . somehow, he doesn't know. Anyway, I spent many hours online trying to find him a replacement to no avail. We are wondering if it could be repaired or something. The saw is his most treasured. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Great guy to deal with, very reasonable pricewise too. Oh, and super fast delivery also. One of my top of list go to for tools guys. Thanks Mike!

Anyone know an easy way to determine if a torque wrench needs to be calibrated? Thanks!

I contacted Snap On about some warranty on tools I bought way back from a dealer. They were most kind and promptly sent me some UPS return and pickup labels. I'm just wondering, and did not think to ask them, if they replace your item do you get back exactly what you sent them for repair of...

pretty smart thinking there!

Oh, I see now. So colors do denote what they are? Good idea there. I've cussed a lot plowing through a drawer full of black handles looking for whatever screw driver I'm looking for!

I started buying Snap On back in the mid 1970s, most handles were Black, as are all of mine. Haven't bought much since the 1990s. I've recently been poking around on various sites looking to add to my tools and am now seeing all these different colored handles on screw drivers, pry bars...

I read the entire article. Thanks!

Can anyone link me to where I can buy a replacement ram?

I've got a 2.5 ton jack which was bought from First Jefferson Tool Company, Inc. many years back. It wasn't working and I took the ram to a hydraulic shop, they said it wasn't worth fixing because it was a cheap Japanese jack. Then they "lost" my hydraulic unit. This was years back. I still...
