    My Snap-on vs. Cornwell Customer Service Experience - is it typical?

    I had to deal with both Snap-on and Cornwell in the past few days, and I am startled by the difference. I bought a used Snap-on tap and die set, and the tap wrench was busted. I called Snap-on customer service, they cheerfully said "no problem, we'll send you a return tag and you can send the...

    Got the Hansen socket holders - now I need new sockets???

    OK, it's not quite as bad as it sounds, but I did notice a problem with the Hansen socket holders and some of my Craftsman sockets, and it's annoying me to no end. Most of the sockets fit just fine, but I noticed that some of the small 1/4" drive sockets do not fit on the corresponding holders...

    Rust resistant pliers?

    I looked at my tool collection, and noticed that all my pliers are rusty. They are all Craftsman, so I can exchange them for new ones, but they'll just rust again in time. Does anyone make reasonably priced decent quality non-rusting pliers? e.g. a better quality version of this?

    Just picked up a Cornwell box

    Saw an ad this morning on Craigslist for this 58" box, asking $500. Rushed down there to check it out. Box looked good, a few scratches and scrapes, but in good shape. Very nice Griplatch drawer action. I was getting poised to grab a HF 41" box on the January sale, but could not pass this...

    Can someone ID this Snap-on box?

    It's advertised as being in "great shape", asking price is $1900. Thoughts on what it is and what it might be worth assuming it's decent? My first reaction is that it's very high for this box, but it's hard to tell from the pic and without knowing what model it is. Is it a KRA5213?

    One wide or two narrow toolboxes?

    I posted this question before, but it got buried in the thread, so let me ask again. I see a lot of narrow (~30") Snap on and Matco toolboxes advertised on CL in the $400-600 range - here's an example: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/tls/1512304999.html Yet the big boxes (~53") advertise...

    It's a kra5213d and kra4830 combo, the guy is asking $1500 "firm". Good or so-so? Leon

    Newbie question: Thoughts on these tool chests?

    I am looking for a wide and relatively short tool chest, that can double up as a work surface. I am considering these units: Harbor Freight, Excel, and Craftsman. Do you guys have any strong pro/con thoughts on any of these? Thanks, Leon
