Hopefully this is the right board to post on. This is not my listing, but figured i would pass it on. almost no machining parts or equipment ever come up for sale locally, so i opened up the CL and found this: http://siouxcity.craigslist.org/tls/5967081053.html

At work we have an a/c sniffer (sorry, don't know the brand) anyways, it's just about worthless for finding a/c leaks. it has 2 settings, low and high (sensitivity). When it is on high, it will give a false positive anytime! I can have it outside, away from any car or refrigerant, and it will...

At work we have a shared coolant pressure tester. It is a cheapo from the auto parts store. It works fine, but..... when I go to release the pressure, I normally get a fountain of coolant from the cap/sealing area. It doesn't do this with pressurized overflow tanks (fords, chevy pickups) just...

I've been looking for a decent compressor for the shop for a while now, right now i've been using a craftsman oilless buzz bomb that barely builds pressure anymore. I want at least a 60 gallon tank and a 2 stage compressor.. my budget was around $1000, which puts me at a used or a cheap...

Just curious, what is the most expensive single tool or piece of equipment that Snap on sells? I'm not really concerned about sets of tools, but more a single one thing, is it a Mr. Big? lifts? air compressor? Giant socket?

here's the deal, I've got a set of 3/8 cheapo HF impact extensions, and it seems like I lose a ton of power when i put them on my impact (IR 2115MAX). Is this just normal, or will a higher quality snap on/Mac/Sk transmit more power to the socket? It's annoying to get the length I need, and then...

I'm looking at buying a drill to use at work as an auto mechanic. I wouldn't use it very often, most likely to drill out broken bolts or minor fabrication. Should I go for milwaukee m12 fuel 1/2 drill? I already have a M12 3/8 impact that I could use the batteries for. On the other hand, since I...

How do you guys decide that your tool box is full? Is it when you have to start piling tools on top of others to make room? Is it when all of your tools are starting to touch? :lol_hitti Is it just when it becomes too full to be able to organize like you want? I went through this dilemma a...

I stopped into the local Harbor Freight today to pick an end cabinet for my tool box. At the checkout counter, I whip out my trusty 20% off coupon, and it wasn't accepted. Upon further inspection, it turns out you can't use the 20% coupon on things like welders, tool storage and a few other...

I've been following this forum for a while and found more info, tips, and advice than I could possible use. Right now I'm looking for a new tool box, I am currently attending automotive classes and have already outgrown my current tool box (snap on 40" heritage series) through my snap on student...

The name's Isaac jessen. I've been a lurker on here for several months now, and finally signed up. I'm currently going through school to become an auto technician and because tools are such a big part of this occupation, I've learned a LOT from this forum. Some other things about me, I grew...
