Re: Impact Sockets....Does Brand Matters? I love my grey pneumatic impact sockets. I bought the deep kit I think its 10 thru 36 or something like that. I had a guy that didnt own a 19mm socket and he always grabbed mine to take tires off with and I have yet to have any problems. Our shop buys...

interesting . . . . learn something new every day.

I had just failed out of college and confessed to my parents that all I had a desire to do was become and auto tech. Surprisingly to me they were completely supportive. Helped me pay for my schooling and took me to a few auctions and bought me my first few tools. Today my father helped me move...

How big are these things?

That is sweet. You ****! I bet your gonna have fun with that.

At my store we had a bunch of pliers on sale as well. I bought a set with some slip joint pliers and channel locks in it. For 10 bucks I couldn't resists.

I would think they might be able to be warrantied. My favorite pair of sidecuts was channel lock brand. I am still sad that I lost those suckers. I have looked every where for them and still can't find them.

We had that problem with our mac dealer. He was always real sketchy anyways but one day he just stopped showing up. His truck was the first tool truck I stepped onto and I didn't buy a thing from him because he was too pushy. I know he was in the business of selling tools but the SO guy didn't...

Are blue handles rare?

I had been using wheel bearing greaes but the other day I didnt have any and threw some seal glide in on of my old c-man's and it feels pretty nice now.

A few guys in my shop weret talking about air brake springs the other day. Sound pretty damn dangerous to me.

I would have to say coil spring compressor. That damn thing scares me almost every time I use it.

We used to have a mac guy but the last guy only lasted a few months and for some reason no one liked the guy before him. And now the matco guy hasnt stoped in for a few weeks.

I do hate when people that work at sears have no idea how to do their job. I work at sears and some how I always end up fixing the car as well as writing the ticket while the CSA (service writer) looks over my shoulder. Then I hear "oh okay, that’s not so hard, I can do that" next time rolls...

My dad picked one of those up from an auction and he didnt think he would use it so he gave it to me. I honestly never thought I would use it to much either but he was just going to sell it again. I end up using that thing all the time. But my shop is in a barn with a dirt floor so I dont do...

I have heard good things about the matco carts on here. I have never been around any of those carts though.

well that ***** I paid 120 something I did use a 20 percent off cupon though

Do they not make those any more?

I agree that is the main reason I just went with the service cart. I wanted to get the black US General box. Since it wasn’t there I just bought the cart and will use that till I figure out if I really want a HF box or I want to step up a little bit.

When I went to HF the other day I asked about the US General tool boxes and was told that red is the only color they stocked. I ended up buying the black service cart just to get me buy until I can figure out what I really want. That service cart seems pretty sturdy so far.
