my first rollcab was a waterloo. it could not stand up to the weight. the rails were not happy and the casters *****. for about 1000CAD i thought it was a rip off. for 500 maybe. i sold it to my foreman about a year or two later for a loss of 600, when i got my KRLs, he doesnt pull wrenches...

X2 got my KRL722/791 for 43% the list price BEFORE taxes... so.. derp err 49% off ( not to mention the tax write-off) on Ebay from a seller about an hour or so away. mint shap. few small dings, not even, from an upholstery shop the guy ran out of his garage at home. thats what i recommend...

i use my Channel Lock 480 'bigazz' all the time. although im not answering your question to do with automotive. since i work diesel. im sure i could find a use (believe i once used a set for an inner tierod) in automotive if i had them in my box. honestly i dont have much use for the average...

my coworker has his cart like that with SO badge, the money could have been used for a 6 pack IMO cant remember but up here those carts are branded differently. i lived out of one of those while my toolbox was being replaced this year.

ive got the klein one from my teenage years at an electrical wholesaler, at the time it blew my mind. i had never seen anything like it. the 'motel' bottle opener is still my favorite though, i dont even use any of my other openers i collected before i started buying these. one on the deck and...

what price is that per socket you want to pay? i have a tool store near me that sells ziplock bags that you fill for 10-20 bucks depending on sale or not. i buy my replacements off of the SO truck, if theyre whatever i replace them for blue point for a buck or so each. were you looking for...

it happens usually when we get a new vehicle. until you figure out out the lay-out of the chassis one vehicle for instance will have rockwell axles, detroit engine, voith transmission, canadian frame. or a cummins, allison, man, zf mix... and then they all rotate back and forth, engine bolts...

please do.

i live in an apartment (probably one of the only people on this forum) everyone else has already made my point. this is at home. its small enough to take downstairs if i need to work on the car, and small enough to tuck into the front hall closet. the KRL stays at the shop, if i had to bring...

its hard to tell, we have two, im not sure the age of that one. i would estimate well over 5 years, damn near ten maybe lets do the math; 40+ vehicle fleet weekly torque checks 3 per wheel x 4 hubs = 12 52 weeks 24,960 torques yearly now add in a LOW average of 40 torques per day for brake...

honestly i do not own a ton of 'power' tools. frankly i dont own any. sounds funny admitting that. only air, oh and a snap on ct6950 i guess is my only 'power' tool. the shop has enough that if i need to do something at home i have access to a hammer drill/drill/skill saw whatever for the...

i was off shift, but an educated guess would be 480 ft/lbs (most common) yes thats a Proto 3/4 600ft/lbs torque wrench that would **** ****. when i was apprenticing i had a journeyman swap R for L while i was resetting the ratchet (him steadying the head, me on the end) and i just about hit...

well, that ended keiths day pretty early...

there might be some electro method,,, im no restoration expert, but recently picked up a used 3/4 universal impact from SO and just ran it through the wirewheel, looks great. a little smoother than original, but...

mastercraft doesnt do anything good, but they do everything for about 10cents to a buck a piece. cant beat it when you need ****, and theres a canadian tire in every town, so you can always go and grab that socket in the middle of a job. i have never seen anything that old even, thats awesome.
