Clearly Snap-On has a reputation for making some of the finest hand tools around... But they also have a reputation for having *premium* pricing! Every now and then when looking through the Snap-on Catalog, I come across some tools that seem to actually be pretty reasonably priced, so I...

I use Craigslist and eBay for lots of stuff, buying and selling. But whenever I cruise Craigslist for quality tools, I am always amazed at how little effort most sellers seem to put into describing what they have for sale. Seems like I always see **** like this: Cripes! Could you put less...

(click picture for link) One of my tool cabinets is a "junk free" zone. Mostly Snap-On, Mac, Matco, Wiha, Wera, (you get the idea) with Craftsman filling in for anything I haven't upgraded yet. I have plenty of Harbor Freight tools, but they don't live in this box. Except for this one... In...

I needed a new angle grinder, popped over to Amazon to see what they had and found this deal... Milwaukee 6140-33 4-1/2-Inch Small Angle Grinder $56.05, free shipping, no tax from Amazon. Buy two and use Milwaukee Rebate to get a third free. Makes them less than $38 each. Harbor freight...

I have a bunch of extra Snap-On and Mac wrenches for sale. I'll take some pictures tomorrow, but here is a preview of what I have. Sale info: Right now, I'm only interested in selling in the lots listed below. The prices shown in black are current new list price. The prices in orange are...

I'd probably buy a ton more tools if any one of these guys put up a top-quality modern website. Craftsman is particularly bad.... Lots of sizzle with almost no steak. Virtually no way to "drill down" looking for tool types. Searches give lots of erroneous results and often *don't* list other...

A bunch of my work is on motorcycles (KTM's!), and I use one-piece T-handle wrenches like these all the time. (Actually, have both of the sets pictured below) They offer enough torque that I rarely have to put a socket on a ratchet or breaker bar to loosen, they offer great access with the...

I posted a thread a week or so back (link) about some older Snap-On tools, some wanted to see some pictures. Trying to decide whether to keep them or sell them and replace them... First, we have some 1/2" drive tools: Ratchet appears to be double-stamped, 1955 and 1956, The rest is 1956

Any opinions on Wiha tools? I like the looks and price several of their screwdriver and nutdriver sets. Seems like many tools on their web site say "Guaranteed Quality - Made In Germany" (eg: 308, 460, 469, 520, 533 series screwdrivers, 341, 347 series nut drivers, 327 series pliers). Others...

I have lots of older hand-me-down Snap On tools that I just looked up the date code stamps on. Most are 1955 & 1956 with some as early as 1948. I have ratchets, T handles, speed wrenchs, large metric socket assortment in 1/2 and 3/8, SAE sockets, full set of "Blue Point professional" open end...

I'm doing a complete tool inventory/purge/restock... 30+ years of tools, many of which are Snap-on. A handful of the Snap-on tools are not in good shape and I would like to get warranty repair or replacement of them. I haven't stepped foot on a Snap-on truck in at least 20+ years, and have...

I just bought myself a CSPS/Costco 41" Tool chest combo. My older 27" chest has been overflowing for years and at $400 for the black combo, I could no longer resist. It's all assembled and standing empty. Bottom cabinet is all full-width drawers, top cabinet is all 2/3'd 1/3'd split drawers. No...
