This is a follow up to a question I asked before. I need a new 18V Snap-On NICAD battery but $220 is just too much for what I will be using it for. I have a few tools that are seldom used but nice to have that would not be worthwhile for me to replace with another platform so I am thinking of...

I have a bunch of older Snap-On cordless tools like a CT 3850 impact that I have been running with a CTB 4187 Ni Cad battery ( and post adaptor) that now needs replacement. I priced it out from Snap-On and it was like $220 so I am looking at other options. I had a Snap-On battery rebuilt...

I am asking for my cousin so I may not know what I am talking about. He gave me an old chain box that says H30 072G x 5018406-72, 3/16" 4.8mm .025" 0.65mm. I don't know if that is the chain he is running now ( or some how ended up with a different type) but his problem is that the...

I am converting an older Snap-On bent hard handle screwdriver to interchangeable shank and was wondering what everyone does with the spinner on the end that was pressed on the original shank? I am thinking just leave it off because I don't think it will work ( after makinf the hole bigger)...

Years ago, when I didn't know as much about chainsaws and chainsaw chains, I was cutting and got my chain pinched and thrown off. I put a new chain on and kept cutting. Fast forward to now. I dug out the thrown (but never sharpened ) chain and saw it was buggered up on the sides of the...

I have been reading here that Snap-On ratcheting screwdrivers could be converted to interchangeable shanks. Do you need that rubber washer and are there any other things that I need to know?

I am putting my cutting torch back into use. It is a one piece torch that is only made for cutting. Do they make a smaller tip that I could use to produce a smaller flame that I could still cut with, but more important, heat stuff up? As it is now, my torch gets small stuff really hot...

Does anyone make a test light with 2 leads instead of a pick for up to 24 volts? I am working on an excavator by my self and need to actuate stuff in that cab and at the same time, see the test light and have it hooked up. I have been using jumpers clipped to the test light pick but all in...

Does anyone make a wire with alligator clamp that can be used in place of a power probe tip? 5' or even more would be nice. I am working with 24 volt and need something more than DMM leads.

I have a few shop lights (like a Snap-On magnetic or Cyclops puck) that I charge in the shop with either micro USB or USB-C. They are rated at 5v=1A. I bought a new TV for the house that needs the remote to be charged with USB-C but did not come with a charger. My wife picked up a double...

I have a job that would be made much easier if I could use a fluid extractor instead of taking everything apart to get the oil out. I was wondering, if I could use my HF Brake Bleeder as a fluid extractor for 85, 90-140 wt. gear oil? I have used it on Gas many times and it worked fine but...

Does anyone recommend torque extensions to use with high torque cordless impact wrenchs? The reason I ask, I have an old Snap-On cordless CT3850 that puts out about 250 ft lb and it is pretty close to spec when I use torque extensions. Someday soon my batteries will finally die, I would...

My cordless drill needs a new chuck. I stuck a keyed chuck on it and miss the keyless style. What is a GOOD keyless drill chuck to get?

I was wondering, does anyone make a socket holder strip or a metal tray that I can magnetically attach to the vertical side of my drawer?

I have a Stihl 2 in 1 sharpener, really like it but would like to get it to work even better. Assume one side teeth come out good but the other side after the same number of strokes is longer , the rakers/ depth gauges are too low and sometimes get an overbite. This is more noticeable when...

Is there a way to see the old tool background that comes up first for a second then the forums appear? I think that is the drill press that I have and still use but can't tell in a second.

I am cleaning up/ sharpening an old axe that will be used. Should I paint it? If yes, should I prime or just use paint so the paint will ware off during use?

I need to sharpen a few Ax's. I was wondering what should the sharpened edge look like and how wide should it be?

I used my 1970's Black & Decker 3/8" orange electric pistol grip drill on a drill and tap job this morning I bought it when I was a kid with S&H Green Stamps. I went through it a few years ago but never found a use for it. Today I decided to use it "Just Because". It worked great ! I...

I saw on Amazon a Dr. prepare 700 lumen folding work light and was wondering if they are any good? It is like $17 and seems too good to be true.
