I have an older air ratchet someone gave me just laying in the bottom of my box. It's a BluePoint AT205A, and I cannot find info on it anywhere, besides the fact that it and the AT2000 share the same patent number. Anywho, the ratchet has very little power, it turns and spins, but I can easily...

I bought a pair of these at Lowes a while back, but haven't had the chance to use them yet. My main use for them is for the snap rings on the back of A/C compressors, as I do a lot of A/C work. It seems like a one tool fits all solution and comes with different tips (90 deg., etc) and...

on the Snapon truck! I quit buying tools (Snap-on, anyways) during this last school year, and yesterday I stepped on the truck with graduation money! I didn't go crazy but I bought the F80 (kinda wanted the FH80 to match my FLHF80 but, more $$ and he would have had to order it.) and SGDXXL20BR...

Just got back from the local fleamarket with two tools, a radio, and a box of old books. Total cost- $35 Breakdown Knipex Alligator Pliers NIP 7" - $10 Knipex Alligator Pliers NIP 10" - $15 Radio (replaced the radio in a family car that was tape/am, with a chrysler infinity unit w/ cd player)...

I got the email this morning from Bosch with a link to their latest Litheon tool, a 12V drill. :thumbup: http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=PS30-2a Looks nice, and if it is as good as my PS-20, it would be highly recommended! :bounce::bounce::bounce...

Well, I got the Bosch PS-40 and the 40pc tap and die set I won from Gearwrench today! Good news, I like the tap and die set! It's nice! Bad news, I think I got screwed on the PS-40. I bought it on ebay from locomodem.com who described it as 'new'. I opened the case, and the case was stained...

I want to hear what you other pros use to service vehicles with TPMS. We just recently got a Kti PST http://ktipst.com/ to use at the shop. It works great! No more of the stupid Chevy lower or raise tire pressure until horn chirps! :pimpflash:pimpflash:bounce::bounce: RD

I'm looking for a cordless drill / impact combo. Got any suggestions under $300? I've been looking at the Makita LCT300W for $259.99. It has good reviews, and comes with a free battery offer now. This a decent set? Thanks, RD

Opinions on these? In particular, I am looking at buying their 12pc set and their 11pc Torx set, and possibly the Mini Screwdriver Set, too. Also, how are Mayhew Catspaw screwdrivers compared to say, Cman Pros? I can get them through my Cornwell dealer. OT, but I just got a new SO dealer...

Picked up a old SK tool set today for $5 at the fleamarket. SK part number #4945. I don't know that much about it, and it is missing a few pieces, so I'll let the pics do the talking. (BTW, I think this is going to be my new go-to 1/4" ratchet.) This is my first 'old' tool purchase...

bought a Bosch PS-20. So far, I'm real impressed. I liked my bosses Snapon but it didnt have a clutch and its already having troubles (less than 2 months old). I get a new PS-20 free too! Anybody wanna make an offer on it? I really like my bosses 14.4V cordless SO impact, but I'm 17 and can't...

We only get 2 tool trucks to come to work. Cornwell and Snapon. Is there anything of similar quality that wouldn't be worth the price hike to S-O? For example, I hate Cornwell's foam screwdrivers, but there is a world of a difference to my S-O Instincts? RD

Well, I had a chance to make use of my new tools, and I have no regrets whatsoever on each purchase, except the Craftsman Pro magnet pick-up broke with barely any pressure (It's Craftsman, will they warranty it?). I got to do an intake on a Ranger and am wrapping up a LIMG job on my 2001 Olds...

Are Snapons the only ones worth having, or are there other brands that would be fairly good? I see Genius all over the place, are they any good? Pretty much what I'll need is a 80ft-lb and a 100ft-lb. RD

Are they any good? I don't use my impact that often except for wheels, so I don't need too many sockets. Something like this seems to be just what I need. Is this a good deal? What is the part number for this set? Thanks, RD

And I can't wait to get my hands on them! :drool::drool: I just ordered a IR 2135-I2MAX impact wrench and the SK 89650 5 Piece XXL Double Box G-Pro Metric Wrench Set . I know I'll love the SK's because I have drooled over my bosses' for long enough! I'm just really happy that I am able to buy...

I went on the S-O truck today for the first time! I bought a FHLF80 ratchet. My boss and another guy I work with have the same one and love it, so I figured I'd give it a try. I also bought (no flaming, please) a BluePoint impact 3pc flip socket set. My boss bought one of those small 7.2V...

I'm looking to buy a decent air gun because I'm sick of always borrowing other people's at the shop. I don't do heavy work with impacts, mainly just wheels. Everyone at the shop says IR would be the way to go. I've been looking around and the SK air gun doesn't look bad. Would it suit my needs...

What is the best way to keep SO screwdrivers with the Instinct handles clean? Mine seem to get dirty really fast, and I'm not sure what would be best to clean the handles with. RD
