    Let's see your toolbox.

    This finally got dropped off at the beginning of the week. It's been a long time coming, wanted a snap on box since I got into the trade 6 years ago but I didn't think it would ever happen. Anyway after buying several cheap boxes and the last one having problems after just 6 months I said screw...

    Do you Need Truck Brands To Be a Good Mechanic

    The 3/8 sockets I have in my work tool box are the same set I've had since I got into the trade 6 years ago. I use them with hand ratchets and impacts on a daily basis, I have absolutely no idea what brand they are but I was given them as a Christmas gift when I was 15 and they came in one of...

    Tool Box Depth

    After upgrading to a 24" deep box I'd never go any less then that. I didn't realize until I upgraded just how much more convenient and important box depth is. There's nothing more annoying then realizing your ratchets don't fit a certain way in your box because the draw isn't deep enough, then...

    :thumbup::thumbup: Just picked up this same set but the 1/4" ones as I was on the look out for 1/4" stuff at the time. I only walked on there to ask him whether my small pick had come in yet and saw them sitting there staring at me, couldn't resist. Love the headphones, they are great quality!

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Thank you :) It's 24" deep box, one of the guys I work with has a 56" snap on box and it' actually identical in size, length and depth wise, it's just a little shorter then his box, height wise. I'm actually very impressed with the depth of the box for the money. It was purchased from Napa...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Finally after 5 years with the same box, I purchased a much needed upgrade! Started out with just the bottom half of the red box, thought that was lots of room and id never fill it, couple of years later I picked up the top half on sale and thought the same thing about the top half. After moving...

    I was given this swivel head as a gift by the gf's step dad, I've never used this style of ratchet from snap on before but since receiving it I haven't stopped using it. It's honestly one of the best style of ratchets I've used, very useful for hard to get to bolts or bolts where you require an...

    What Brand Impact Sockets Do You Use?

    As far as impacts go my selection has been very random for the most part. I have 2 MAC impact sockets, 19mm and 15/16" Both are great quality and have been going strong for 4 years with no issues. I purchased a set of princess auto (Canadian version of HF) and have beaten the **** out of those...

    Craftsam Tools Experiences
