Going to school for automotive engineering technology and technical resource management at SIU... I just brought home a load of my tools to combine into my Snap-On 40". I like the box but its hard to use indoors.... I feel terrible making it into a microwave cart, but its nice having tools...

That looks like an old bmw e30 electrical connector.... I've used a set of mini cornwell crimpers for the pins. As for the connector, if I recall properly they are push lock. On a side note, if you plan on soldering the pins use very little solder. Too much gets in the way rather quickly

Have a half inch myself, no problems yet; although I can see that happening.

I skipped the fan clutch wrench and went to the arm hammer add-on that matco sells to loosen those up. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JFJLTC/?tag=atomicindus08-20 That works amazingly on a lot of the cars that roll through the shop..... just don't use it like an idiot and it wont wreck...

Number 2 please. I would have to agree with alot of points made regarding color choices as well. The hoses all seem to blend together when the guy next to my stall pulls out some hose.

I think I saw that set on a cornwell truck in my area; logo looks similar.

How do you even use that thing as a vice? Seems limited in its travel and not very strong...

Bigger sockets in 12 point I think is there way of making a large socket that fits over a multitude of shapes regardless of it is capable of removing them without damage. Just a theory.

Agreed, but how many dealership trainers will say that is acceptable? To me that is a lot of things like this in society (misconceptions), so I find it easier to take the time to use a hand tool for as much as I can to avoid getting yelled over these things. Life is too short and stressful to...

Anyone else notice some of the ASE test pictures couldn't exist (and function) in real life? For example, my last test showed a vane type pump ask me what it was but the vanes had no way to move against the shell it was in, funniest part to me was the pump was a variable displacement type. It...

i've used them for so many transmissions, they're great at pulling pumps/front covers off of 4r70w's

If I use a 60 lb torque stick and somehow got 500 ft-lbs of torque the torque wrench wouldn't move and still clicks. Highly unlikely, but understand that click doesn't always mean its right; otherwise you seem pretty dead on.

explain? using science and logic if you can.... that sounds soooo bogus.

Same kind of thing here, bought the light with reel. Light works great, its even been submerged in a parts washer on accident and came out still lit up; the cord on the reel however is pure junk. Snap On told me too bad on a warranty attempt; it wasn't even the abused part that broke.

If they are pop rivets, drill the center a little bit then hit the halves apart with a thin punch. Works for most rivets i've come across.
