    Decent brake line flare nut wrenches

    I have Snap-on, Proto and old Craftsman. They all work, but when the going gets tough I prefer Snap-on, a lot of times you need the offset broaching found on Snap-0n and some others. Whatever you buy, make sure the broaching is offset so when you flip the wrench it comes in at a different angle...

    Snap On 1/4" extensions missing stamp

    I noticed on some wrenches I bought off the Snap-on website the stamping wasn't perfect, I think they are cutting cost on things, I also bought a 9/16 crowfoot and it was laser etched and not stamped like my previous one bought many years ago, I have been buying Snap on tools since the 1990's...

    Finishing Garage Walls with Plywood

    I noticed you have a King Electric Heater, how do you like it? I just order a 12,500 kw from Home Depot, it should be arriving soon, I had it ship to the store so I can check for damage before I take it.
