    Unpopular opinion - mayhew prybars are just ok

    They are always way more springy than my SO. No matter which brand I buy it in. I have Mayhew Dominator, Cornwell and Matco both made by Mayhew. And I really want to like them as they are made in Mass. Maybe Im buying the wrong series. Does Snapon make theirs or does Ajax make them or what?

    Cornwell driver killed

    Not sure if anyone heard about it. I guess a 46 year old driver was struck and killed by a 27 year old. It doesn't say why the 27 year old was fleeing the scene. https://patch.com/illinois/palos/gofundme-set-family-worth-man-struck-fatal-hit-run

    Do these proto wrenches exist anymore?

    I know the actual size and function is still made by proto according to their website but they look like cheap overseas made stuff. This wrench is beautiful. Too bad the seller only has this one. I'd love a whole set.

    Can anyone confirm if Matco Infinium is going bye bye?

    I dont have access to the truck anymore. But I need an electric midtorque and since I have all the batteries, I was going to pickup the 1/2" 20v one. But its saying Last Chance on their website. A little google search someone said the 20v batteries are going to be discontinued. Then Val social...

    Well boys, say goodbye to the red cans of brake cleaner

    Personally the red stuff worked the best. But I guess all good things - like lead paint - come to an end. Gonna goto Napa tomorrow and stock up on a lifetimes worth. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/09/health/epa-tce-pce-cancer-causing-contaminants/index.html

    Mac is the new cornwell

    The mac truck is getting harder and harder to find for a lot of guys. I have to order from my old shop since moving jobs to a different area. But it's still a 150k population city. Is the franchise that bad or stanley that hard to rep?

    Why the flashing light option on work lights

    I assume it's because the electronics are cheap and universal. But I hate having to cycle through all these stupid modes especially SOS on cheap led work lights. Once I saw the new icon s/o knock had flashing mode it's like - unless it's hard to activate - there's no way I'm gonna buy it.

    Why does Snap-On continuously make people rage?

    Is it ignorance or jealously or what? Every time I come across a YouTube short or FB reel about a Snap-On product there is like so much rage against it it's almost comical. It's like the person has to tell everyone that harbor freight is cheaper for the "exact same product" lol. It's like oh...

    I have to make 4 slots about 1" long with a 397 width (x drill). I think a file will take too long. I was going to drill beginning and end. And undersize the hole in the middle and then burr it into a slot. All I have is a hand drill. Any other suggestions. I have a cutting torch but seems too...

    Whats killing the traveling tool vendor business

    Poised toward those who frequent the tool trucks. I stopped completely with Matco because everything they sell is on Amazon for cheaper. I still buy Mac and snapon. Mac more than snapon because what's killing it for me is the Snapon price. Cornwell- the driver has the personality of a dead fish.
