I'm quite aware of OSx86. It's completely illegal, as you mentioned, but it's also junk, which you forgot to mention. There is a plethora of problems with Hackintosh computers, but given your limited knowledge thus far of, well, anything computer related, it doesn't surprise me you haven't...

Cool. Very cool.

Frankly, I'm done with this thread. If I insulted anyone by "bashing" Snap-On, I apologize. I'm going to buy some, see what I think, and maybe the next time some netizen comes here and downs Snap-On, I'll go nuts on them. You can hope, right?

Yeah, and the Snap-On guy claimed Windows was better. Ironic. I'm sure Snap-On tools are awesome, and that's what I wanna find out. Because, come to think of it, the Snap-On tools I've used were much older than my Craftsman. I'm sure that has something to do with it. So, for now I have $200...

Sheer ignorance is about the only way I can describe what you just said. Utterly sheer ignorance. First of all, aesthetics are quite important to a lot of people, and Apple wins that contest hands-down. There is absolutely no comparison. Secondly, Aperture is an Apple product, and doesn't...

To be honest, I really do want the Snap-On one. 600lbs of torque, American made. I mean, that's just awesome. $500? I dunno. Maybe I'll save I dunno. Thanks for the input.

O.K., guys. The Snap-On tools I have used: Ratchets & Sockets. That's pretty much it. Right now, I think they are just as good as Craftsman, but no better. I have $200 in my budget (wife approved) for new tools. You guys tell me what Snap-On tools to buy, including screwdrivers, pliers...

The problem I'm having is that, right now, I can't really afford an air compressor powerful enough to get the job done. In fact, the only one's I can really afford are about 125PSI, which don't really operate at 125PSI; they just claim to. I work on a lot of old cars, like right now I'm...

I didn't hijack the thread; I made a remark regarding the underlying topic of the thread: Snap-On. Then the dogs went a mauling. As I said, I'm entitled to my opinions, as you are entitled to yours. And I don't bash Snap-On because their tools are out of my budget. I bash them because a $100...

So, I'm looking to get an electric impact wrench of decent quality for weekend automotive restoration and various other DIY jobs. Anyone know of a good one?

2" Industrial C-Clamp - FAIL I needed to push a brake piston in, so grabbed this outfit to do the job quickly. Well, it didn't do it all that quickly or well, as the entire shaft literally bent, like sizzling copper; it just bent. Normally, I use the proper tools for such jobs, but I didn't...

I was thinking about buying the Fein, until I saw the Craftsman cordless. Then I was going to buy that, until I saw the Dremel. I was going to buy that until I saw this. So, this one is about $50 cheaper than the Craftsman or Dremel, do you think it will stand up to weekend use - like, every...

32 Piece Screwdriver Set - PASS Unlike so many cheap screwdrivers, these have magnetic tips, a comfortable grip, and they can withstand moderate abuse. I don't recommend using one as a chisel or prybar, but generally, they're pretty awesome. The rubber grips, though, discolor when...

I have a Craftsman bottle jack that's made in China. Go figure... It's actually the best jack I've ever owned, but their Jack Stands...HA! I won't buy Craftsman jack stands anymore. I bought a set and they were so cheap looking and ackward to work with, I took them back and bought a comparable...

I just ordered the SGDP42IRBR, because I can afford $18, and I want to see if you're right. I have some screws to take out that I'm sure will give me a problem; let's see if this thing can do what you say it can.
