Dumb question, can a 30 tooth ratchet be upgraded to current "Dual 80" spec by buying the rebuild kit from Snap-On?

I know they exist, I've seen them... but who makes them? I've been searching and all I can find are the long ones like you'd use with a drill or power screwdriver. I would like one so I could use small sockets on a magnetic ratcheting screwdriver handle. Perfect would be something the same...

Hi, can anyone tell me if I wasted a buck or not? Picked up a cute little 6" adjustable at the pawn shop the other day... didn't need it but it caught my eye because it didn't look too bad condition wise and it is branded "DIAMOND CALK HORSESHOE CO." which I haven't seen before, and sure...

Figured I'd try here... I'm a little mad. Left my toolbox at my friend's shop. He and shop foreman both encouraged me to lock it but I didn't because I have some tools that nobody else has (complete set of Torx bits for example) and I didn't want to put people in a bind. Well I was there...

Any recommendations? Are Genius or Wilde any good? I see excellent pricing on those but don't have any experience with them. Or should I stick with names like S-K, Proto, Snap-On, etc... What I think I want is 3 or 4 different lengths in each drive size. I already have some wobbles just...

Wanted for a user. Just got a pair of S-52s which are really my first truly good ratchets and now my collection of **** feels inferior. anyone got one?

Does a thread like this exist? I tried to search, but if it does, the magic combination of keywords didn't show me exactly what I was looking for. Reason I ask is I started doing a writeup that I was going to give to my shop owner friend because he has two new mechanics with a very basic set...

anyone want to take a stab at identifying this for me? Is this a real set or just parts in a S-K box? Box is marked S-K Tools, The Sherman-Klove Co., Chicago, Ill., Made in U.S.A. I have a 3/8" ratchet shallow 6 points 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 shallow 12 points 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4 deep 6 points...

opinions welcome. I managed to break a friend's el cheapo 1/2" and my Kobalt one is missing, so I'm down to an old Craftsman RP ratchet that I don't want to break and have to exchange for a new Chinese one. After some searching, am thinking of picking up a used Williams S-52 or two. Looks...

and doesn't follow the maintenance instructions? My IR impact lube kit showed up the other day so I pumped some grease in my eBay MT1769A. Instructions say to push back drive and pump grease in until drive moves forward and then another 8 or so pumps. My hand got tired, the drive never moved...

Hi all, I've posted this on NAXJA because I figured if anyone knew air compressors it would be those guys, but I figured it'd be worth posting it here as well. I have a friend who drives an older BMW and as such she changes tires seasonally. She also lives in an apartment building with a...

http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=blackhawk+ratchet&SearchType=Header Probably not a true "hot deal" but a) I owe a guy a 1/2" ratchet and b) I've been lamenting the demise of the old school ratchet with the little knurled "speed ring" for a while, and while looking for something else...

Any recommendations? I pulled the trigger on the Harbor Freight Pittsburgh Pro SAE impacts, shallow and deep (got the deeps today, they finally got some in today but when I got there there were only two sets left on the hook, word must be getting out!) Also have Snap-On set of deep metric...

Anyone used one? After using shop foreman's Snap-On hand impact, my parts store, no-name $10 thing that I've had for going on 20 years seemed crude and ineffective. The Snap-On just blasted off rotor screws like they were nothing. So I left him a busted Snap-On impact swivel to warranty and...

A friend of mine tasked me with putting together the tools necessary to swap wheels on her car (RWD, so she has two sets of tires that are changed seasonally.) I've got a good torque wrench that I was going to sell anyway, think I can scrounge a 17mm socket, but don't have a spare breaker bar...

http://www.sears.com/craftsman-11-pc-standard-socket-accessory-set-6/p-00934463000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 Not really a super hot deal, but I think I've figured out what Sears is doing here... I don't have these, saw them on the shelf at Sears Hardware where I was picking up some more...

Not sure which to buy? Neiko 10054A is a 10 piece set for about $37ish Vim XZN400 is a 9 piece set for $45, plus you have to add on the 9mm which is another $25...! I have no experience with either brand, is one significantly better than the other? Any other companies making XZN sets? Both...

conversation on Facebook led me to ruminate about the tools that it seems you're just forced to buy for "just one job" because some manufacturer decided to make up a new size/standard. 1) just bought a 34mm impact socket the other day to replace the front hub on a Saturn Vue. 36mm just...
