Ref Snap On QE 3R 250MB 1/2 inch drive 250 ft lb What is the approx age of this wrench? $300 a good value? I'd get it calibrated which is another $125. Was this one made by CDI? Thanks.

Yes it is an ICON -

I had to pull them out hard as well, which to me seems odd. The top drawer comes out an angle, one corner is 'stuck'. The HF branch I use (Orange, Ca.) is hit and miss on service. I have adjusted the drawers, watched the Youtube vid etc. The drawer on the lower right with the compartment for...

Hey, get well soon, hopefully no eye problems. Do the drawers open to full extension? Do the drawers open with minimal effort? I've had problems with mine since day one. 15 months old. Do you have a HF ICON phone number or email contact for someone in management? Thanks.

I've had my 56 inch box for 15 months. From day one, half the drawers would not open all the way, about 3.5" inside the cabinet. The lower right hand drawer for power tool storage, is very difficult to open. The brake on one of the casters will not release. I've tried all the adjustments on...

JB Weld? Don't laugh. Used in situations that I thought were borderline and the epoxy help up. Devcon is another one. Is there a motor rebuild shop in your area? They usually have a ton of parts sitting around. A 56C frame motor is about as common as dirt. 3.7HP in a 56C frame? That...

How many SF of plywood do you need? visit local independent lumber yards and ask if they will sell them at 15% or so beyond HD price. There are some shear grade OSB available too. For insulation, find non big box vendors. For a 2x4 stud wall I was able to find R19 that was made for 2x4...

I have an inline IR and (2) CP right angle. Use the CP's frequently, no issues for 15 years or so of use. IR no issues either. Regarding Astro, great product too, I have their sanders, and no problems. Astro always has a great display of products at SEMA, with a knowledgeable crew.

HF guns work well enough. Fluid tips for clear usually a 1.8 are not to be found for a HF gun. Find a low cost gun that you can get different fluid tips, 1.3 - 1.4 for most primers and top coats. Also you will need consistent pressure and clean air - filter / pressure regulator from HF

Just re read your post, as far as motor speed vs torque - DC motors are constant torque so you should get good low speed RPM control. It might want to bog down. On the better higher cost DC motor controls, you can mess with the current limit and get some more amps. The newer VFD's and AC...

That is a permanent magnet DC motor. So only two wires to connect to a control. It will operate from a DC motor control as Tool Scrounge mentioned. 110 VAC or 220 VAC single phase input. The control should have a method to select either input voltage. And a select 90 VDC or 180VDC...

Need some help to identify the lower and upper Snap On boxes. Have looked on this site and the lower box appears to be a KR1000. Although with two locks, I have not seen a KR1000 with those locks. Is the lower box a KR1000? Early 90's? What about the top box? Have found zero info on...

Ryan - great vid, excellent work. And especially enjoyed the surf guitar - let us know the band.
