Married 25 years and still helps out. We do everything together and she is my best friend.

You ever try to get that stuff off of an old rifle....yuck and a pain in the a. But you are right you could coat your pliers with that and dig a hole in the ground and it will not rust.

Glad I did not have that problem....mine came fast hooked up great and works like a champ. It was a great experence.

There is a little...as in very little insulation in there. More would help...but it is a shop, the current heat and AC setup keep it to where you can work on things during the coldest days outside...so far the coldest I have been out there is -5F. The heater will cycle every once and a while...

So far it has been working great. I have had one problem tho...during the last snow fall we got abut 7" of the white stuff. The shop is kept at mother natures temp when I am not in there so it had lots of nice white fluffy snow on the roof when I went out there. I fired up the heater and came...

Ok...so I got the thing installed this Saturday. I was wrong on the breaker it was 50amp...hay I was going off my old man memory. Sorry no pics yet, I forgot to take the camera out there, but the walls are so tall because of the lift that is inside fans...bla bla bla. The plan is to only turn...

I will have to run one but that is no big deal, I will take some pics as well after the install. My lift only needed a 30amp breaker, this thing wants (IIRC) 80amp breaker.

I am going to have to go elect. with my heat. I have a 24x36 shop with 24' side walls, It has a lift inside. I was thinking that I am going to need a larger heater then the G73 because of all the extra volume inside the building. I am looking at these units...

Lithium batts are some amazing things, but take care in using them and the storage of them. Keep them cool but not cold, if your charger has a maint. setting charge them at that then let them sit. In the tool arena Lithium and A123 cells are pretty safe but they do store TONS of energy and...

That one was so good it made the Dr. Pepper come out my nose. Tell me now what does it say on the side of the truck. If you have a franchise you are expeted to operate it to a standard set fourth by the corp offices....be it snap on or McDonalds, there are ways of doing business that they...

lol You can also use some foam wrapped around the filter.

What if's are not worth talking about....but for the sake of argument... IF he did die it is still pretty poor the way this guy has been treated by the corp office. You KNOW they have done NOTHING to help him out. No calls back...bla bla bla. Corp will not care till they try to get their...

Knowing what you know now why on earth would you go back to SO? You know what kind of help you will get from their corp offices the next time you are shafted....and there will be a next time.

And do we blame drug pushers? I have said my two bits and will leave it at that. I will also say I don't care for the SO business model, while I have some of their tools some dating back to the 60's that where family members, and still some of mine from the 70's-80's...so I do use their...

In my experence they are out to pile on debt to guys that make not enough anyway. And they love to pray on the kids. A little story: So here is a guy right out of tech school newly married, making a house payment, and about the same to the truck guy...and he just found out that he and his wife...

I would say F- the guys on the trucks. If you want snap-on deal with them online, not some fly-by-night truck dealer.....what else would you spend that kind of money on...any kind of money on...out of the back of someones car. The dealers are their own company for all they just sell snap on...

Never put a jack stand under the floor board. Very thin there.

I came away thinking the same thing, I knew what SO had to offer, I own one that I was very happy with. I also knew what MAC and Cornwell had, I have access to those boxes. For the money and for (MY) uses the HF box fit the bill. It was put together as well IMHO as well as the truck tool...

I agree with this, the one thing you left out is are you doing this to make money on or is this for your home shop? The answer to that question opens up bunches of new questions. For me the few times I do body work (those are the tools I have that eat air) I can deal with a smaller compressor...
