I get free updates through my dealer. So no worries there big fella

Not a fan of how the snap one are set up. They are complicate to perform the cut outs and what have you. Not a fan.. I also want to do class 8 truck so i cant use id's. A friend of mine has is so no biggy. Also I stay fairly busy after my normal job at cat so it's not just a few side jobs. I...

Pro, like 23 between work and home. Use about 4 at work and 3 at home.

We have a stick mig and tig. Just no time to make them. I have a full time job. My dad and brother do to. Also farm about 900 acres of row crop. Custom haul grain and operate a skid loader service. Help repair tile lines and manage to pump work out of the home shop for some money.

03 arent a problem either if you have the knowledge to fix them. Plus it was a real good deal.

I also use the vise hard. I am repairing heavy equipmet. This isnt just a toyota camry or something. Ive had a dana 60 front axle out of my 03 superduty in the vise we have now to knock the axle shafts out of it

We already have a 5 inch vise on a homemade bench on casters. The casters are rated for 1000 lbs each. Plenty of overkill. The bench was in my dads old shop before and we have no idea where it came from.

My dad has a very nice 60 by 120 with 18 ft ceilings for doing work on our farm equipment. Also i use it to make some side money too. We have been trying to find 2 or 3 good metal work benches that are strong enough to have a 6 inch vise mounted to them. Where would you recommend getting...

Snap on guy in my area is a total flake and all of his sets are missing a piece due to how he warranties stuff. He is non personable and i dislike him greatly. The MAC guy has the most stuff of all 4 trucks that come to the shop. The matco guy is well stocked also but has only been doing it for...

Just get a 18 or 24 inch ratchet with flex head. Much better than breaker bar and mearly as strong

Just buy it. Get a ball bearing that fits it and split the socket. Simple. As long as its not an m part number then the warranty is good. Dont worry. I warranty stuff all the time with all 4 major tool trucks

I got home from work today and on the kitchen counter was an amazon box. Me being the nosey person i am decided to open it. I look inside to find a metric and standard Bondus ball end, L shaped, golden finish hex wrenches. Ive been looking at the for a while now to replave a lot of broken ones...

Go to your local cat dealer and buy a case. They sell all kinds of cases there. Thats what mine is it. Works good
