    Who is OEM for John Deere hand tools?

    I have had multiple John Deere dealerships tell me that the JD hand tools have such a high price because they are rebranded snap-on that get dropped off by the snap-on truck each week. Does the snap-on tool group in fact manufacture tools for John Deere? If not, who does? They seem to be...

    Bosch IDH182 18v Impact wrench/driver

    I had one before it was stolen. It made a great impact wrench. It seemed to be higher frequency, lower impact energy. My big issue was that the hog ring wasn't a regular hog ring like most impact wrenches, it was more like a spring clip. I was going to throw a hog ring for my DeWalt on it and...

    Proto 90-Tooth Precision Pear Head Ratchets

    You have a link to the SK thread(s) if there is one? It won't let me search SK because it's too short of a term. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    Marking devices

    I buy silver colored pencils by the box. I've recently started using a Silver Streak brand mechanical pencil with about .08 diameter sticks. If it's not that or a scribe, I stick to paint markers. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    What Software do You Use to Keep Track of Fleet Service Intervals?

    That looks like it can do just about exactly what I'm looking for. If I don't go the Microsoft Access route I'll see if they will shell out for this. I think they already use Microsoft Access or something similar for keeping track of assets. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    Rigid or Dewalt Boxes...?

    I like the Ridgid boxes. I had five of them. They never leaked on me or cracked. The guy who stole them must have liked them even more. I'd go Ridgid. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    Proto 90-Tooth Precision Pear Head Ratchets

    Uh oh, I have mine ordered through my local place. It's the 1/2 long handle flex head. We'll see how it is when it comes in. Proto shipped it Monday. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    What Software do You Use to Keep Track of Fleet Service Intervals?

    Yeah that's how it's being run right now and they are realizing that it is becoming a problem. It makes for a good opportunity for me. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    What Software do You Use to Keep Track of Fleet Service Intervals?

    It may be worth them paying a guy to set up an SQL database or I might take a crack at it. It would be awesome if it could integrate with JD Link. It would also be nice to integrate it with the PO system and how they keep track of what expenses go toward. The nice thing about JD link is that if...

    What Software do You Use to Keep Track of Fleet Service Intervals?

    I'm looking for some software to help keep track of, and stay on top of service intervals on equipment. It needs to keep track of a couple dozen heavy trucks, even more trailers for said class 8 trucks, a dozen or so light trucks, couple dozen pickups, couple dozen pieces of heavy equipment...

    How to clean a cast iron gas tank

    If you are committed to getting it really clean really easy and have a little money, I would take it down to a local engine shop and see if they will hot tank it for you. I'm not sure what combination of chemicals they use. I've had them do a few engine blocks and cast manifolds that were in...

    What combo wrenches do y'all keep on hand?

    A roll of Pittsburgh 3/8-1 and 8mm-22mm and a roll of tekton 3/8-1 1/2 and 8mm -32mm and a set of Pittsburgh jumbo wrenches in the top box of the service rig. Used mostly for hydraulic lines. They get stolen or people walk off with them before they ever break so I go cheap as I can on them...

    Ten thousand dollar tool box to hold ten dollars worth of tools?

    Man I had my service truck broken into and lost 11k in tools and I'm still okay with the fact that I spent that 11k on tools that I used the snot out of instead of a snap-on box I would have kinda used. I guess I'd still have the snap on box though . Oh well, I have a small Napa cart at work...

    Proto Big Dawg Ratchet Catalog Page

    Yes, I read on another thread about the few other ways people have found ways to rebuild them. One person said they found a duralast ratchet with screws that worked and a torque wrench rebuild kit that had similar internals. It seems that the weaknesses in the design, from the info in other...

    Proto Big Dawg Ratchet Catalog Page

    Not yet, I currently only have a handful of the 24 tooth classic pear heads (5, 1/4,3/8, 2 1/2,3/4) and a round head facom design 3/8. I've been looking at the XL ratchets. My order for the 90 tooth proto J5450HTCF went through Friday (if they remembered to add it to the order) so I should have...

    Proto Big Dawg Ratchet Catalog Page

    Sweet, that's exactly what I was looking for. It will help a lot in my searches. I'm not super determined to get one, but if I come across one I'll probably pick one up. I do have one of the new 90 tooth Protos on order at my local dealer. I guess Proto just started stocking them. Super excited...

    Proto Big Dawg Ratchet Catalog Page

    New here, looking to acquire some Proto Big Dawg ratchets. Does anybody have the pages from the proto catalog listing the part numbers or know the part numbers for the different ratchets? Any help on tracking one down would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk
