I've just found my grandfather's old Blue Point YA-116 Yankee screwdriver. It has a great action, is very smooth, and looks practically new. I think it was relegated to the back of the junk drawer because it has no bits with it. What diameter bits does this thing take? Does anyone who has one...

Is there any specific advice from Snap-On about putting a rubber mat down before adding the top box? Wouldn't the mat just trap and hold any humidity or water that got under it?

After screwing around with several different options, I've made the decision to go with a 722 topped with a 791. It seems to be the best use of space in a smallish garage. I'm no pro - just some schmuck who likes playing in his garage. Does anyone have this setup and really love it? Or wish...

Yesterday I stopped by a yard sale and got what appears to be a very, very gently used orange 24" Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver with a 1994 date code and 5 bits in the handle. It looks almost brand new. The guy knew the Snap-On name means $$$ and we dickered until agreeing on $65.00. Knowing...

I'm still mourning the loss of a pawn just like that only an hour away from me. My best find: 15 never used Snap-On wrenches (12 in a set and 3 more on top) for $150.00! Now they've stopped selling high end tools in favor of more gun counter space.

Will anyone vouch for this as a good general use puller set? I know it's stupid expensive but I've got a line on a good enough discount that I'm mulling it over. Obviously Snap-On has a good reputation, but I'd just like to know if anyone has one and wouldn't consider anything else. A link...

Excepting the possibility that he's just some guy jerking chains.....We all start somewhere.

Being in the right place at the right time (which almost never happens to me:D) scored me a barely-used one of these: You'll have to excuse the picture lifted from Wesco's site - can't seem to post my pictures. A Wesco "Cobra Jr." for $40.00 seems like a good deal for someone who doesn't...

What the hell do these things weigh? I've seen figures all over the map but no one seems to be able to even give a fair estimate. Is 300-400lbs in the ballpark?

Thanks! I had a suspicion that $400.00 was about the top end for one in great shape. It's a great box, but I'm not ready to fork over just any amount for one.

I saw a KRA400 for the first time last week and fell in love. It's a nice little box and that roll-down door is perfect for my needs. Sadly it was not for sale. I intend to start looking for one of my own. Assuming one is in good shape (no dents, few scratches, used but cared for), what would I...

Uh... thanks, I guess. I didn't try to warranty it because I'm not the original owner and I understand that's Snap-On's policy. I have no complaint with the company; I'm just trying to find a part that'll work.

Thanks, but I can't warranty it because I got it second hand. I don't think a nut will work either because it has to be free-spinning; that's how it is on the complete ones I've seen. It looks like the missing part was press-fit over a protusion on the end of the screw. I'm thinking some kind...

I've got a question for anyone who owns a CJ92 and is willing to help. I recently found an older one that is missing the piece on the end of the screw post that presses against the top of the battery post. Other than buying a whole new screw post from Snap-On, does anyone know where I might...

I just got a fairly nice 1977 KRA21C that looks great..... Except it came with a lower drawer that's beat to hell and looks like it had something super caustic spilled in at at one time. Will the drawer from the current model, KRA21G, fit this thing? And if it's the same box, what gives with...
