I work on some concrete pumps full of Walterscheid hose ends requiring up to a 65mm wrench. The little bit of searching I did DIN 894 is a German standard for open end wrenches. Work has some stamped made in India that may or may not be there when you need them though they are still in decent...

A little back story. We live in Juneau, Alaska. It rains a lot and ocasionally snows, we have a couple 60' pine trees constantly dropping tree parts everywhere. Our old boat was a 17' alumaweld with a soft top. If you put a tarp on a soft top boat up here the snow load will kill the top if you...

I've always been leery of buying Icon stuff because my work environment eats tools, you can't buy individual tools at the store. I had heard rumors you could buy individual icons though never looked into it. I had some time today and dug into it. Individual icon tools exist with very...

A while back I forgot my Icon 3/4" breaker bar underground at one our paste/ concrete pumps. I came back in to find this I hadn't been real impressed with it. 2 guys pushing on it without a cheater pipe it had a lot of flex. The icon was broken while our other crew was here. I'm thinking...

I'm starting to look for a set of torque adapters. I do a lot of pump and motor alignments at work and have started torqueing my motor foot bolts for more consistent results each move. Depending on the motor it can be hard to get a socket or crows foot in. A lot of the motors use 9/16" or larger...

Does anyone have a snapon dust pan and broom combo they want to sell? I'd love to have one just to drive a coworker nuts. I believe they were a promo item. Picture of what I'm after

I occasionally get into electrical stuff at work requiring disassembling/ crimping terminals. So far I've gotten away with a single pair of generic electrical strippers/crimpers/ cutting pliers and a pick or paper clip though would like the right crimpers and terminal tools and am lost on what...

There's tons of tool truck box threads on here. Snapon offers an option many people don't realize exist. It's probably still too expensive for most home gamers though is a great better than husky though not $7-10k option for an entry level tech. Here's the back story: 1 thing that annoys me...

I've been looking on ebay at the snapon 3/4" drive "system". There's 2 different 3/4" ratchet heads an L872 and an L72T. Is there any difference between the 2 besides surface finish? Did the new ratchets get more teeth? After I came in to find operations had destroyed my 3/4" Icon breaker bar...

Those of you who have picked up used Snap-on 29" deep master series and Epiqs what type of deals have you gotten on them? What percent of retail did you pay? I'm not interested in 24" deep masters and classics, just the more current and popular 29 and 30" deep boxes. I have an inkling most of...

I have a fair amount of personal tools at work and have a new Snap-on epiq on the way. After doing the math I'm getting up there in how much I have in tools to the point it's probably time to insure my tools. Those of you who have gotten coverage for your tools who have you used? Did you get an...

If you have broken any Tekton stuff which Tekton tools have you actually broken and how did you break it? I can't find much bad about Tekton on here, it sounds like their warranty process is super easy, and they have free shipping to Alaska. I'm pretty hard on my stuff at work in an industrial...

While checking out the SK website I noticed the apprenticeship program for students. Snapon, Matco, Mac, ect. all offer 50% deals for tech school students and it looks like SK is hopping on that band wagon. Looks like a pretty good deal for kids in trade schools.

I've been eying a 3/8" drive multi-position ratchet on the truck for a couple months now thinking it was a gimmick and said something to my driver about it. His response was several of his customers have made it their go to ratchet though I still wasn't convinced. I finally gave in one day when...

A while back at work I encountered a pretty well mangled male 4 point pipe plug from people putting chanellocks and adjustable wrenches on it at on odd angle. I was able to pound a 12 point on and got lucky. I picked up a set of Grey Pneumatic 3/8" drive 4 point sockets and a set of Sunex 4...

I'm looking for a piston hammer. I see it coming in handy at work to pound bearing races into pump barrels and float cell bearing assemblies. After searching there's 3 main piston hammers out there the 24oz snapon ($90), 29oz Proto ($53) and the 32oz trusty cook ($38) also resold in blue plastic...

I work at a mine and the joke is you can't make anything miner proof, just miner resistant. I'm looking for some tackle boxes/ parts organizers that hold up better than the Plano boxes. My tools get thrown on a flat bed or in the back seat of a pickup and bounced across a mine site daily. 1...

Is anyone actually selling a 9/16"-1" and 14mm-24mm tap and die sets these days? The Irwin kits aren't available anywhere in stock and I don't believe Snapon is selling them either though I'll check with my rep Tuesday. I've got an Irwin tiny to to 1/2"/ 12mm tap and die set at work which is...

Edit 8/27/23 See post #22 for pictures of the actual box. A full 54" or 72" hutch seems like a waste of space to me to though having some locking hutch space with some top drawers would be a great use of space. The idea of a half hutch came up and I started playing with the Snapon Ultimator...

Matco and Summit Racing both sell the Bust N Out bolt removal kits which are basically a flat end cutting only carbide burr, a tapered end cutting carbide burr, and a carbide tipped drill bit without spiral flutes. It looks like an awesome kit though is $830 when you buy all 3 steps through...
