I have a COATS 5060EX and 7060EX-H1 (with robo arm) and a COATS 1050 wheel balancer. These are all for home use. You’re only going to buy a tire changer once so hold out for one with the assist arm. It will make changing out run flats and low profile tires a one man job. Also, a new machine...

I’d buy the same set up from VIM instead. VIM tools won’t be that much more expensive and they have a great reputation amongst mechanics. Plus they offer these sockets in half-cut, shallow, mid, deep, and extra long sets too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lower your ramps all the way and then go around to each corner and raise the tabs and tighten the cables accordingly until they’re an inch or more higher. That will give you the height you need. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My new snappy 312CF wire cutters.

I’ve never had an issue being able to get a hold of someone at BendPak. Don’t try first thing in the morning. Call during lunch time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Re: How many socket sets (multiples of same drive size) do you own? 1/4 and 3/8 - Shallow, semi, deep 1/2 regular and impact - Shallow and deep 1/2 - axle nut service sockets Allen - Regular and impact in all drive sizes Hex and Torx - Half-cut, shallow, semi, long in all drive sizes Triple...

eBay Offer Up Craigslist FB Marketplace You can get older USA made quality Craftsman stuff really cheap and also almost brand new Snapon for easily half the price of new. I’d start with all craftsman sockets and buy a few nice dual 80 Snap-on ratchets. For hammers just go to HF and get the...

I love my Astro 4980. It’s got power for days. I’ve gotten to the point now that I just air up Thor (that’s what I call mine) before I roll out my 20 ton press, and many times it gets the job done. My old air hammer is still great for delicate stuff that I want to vibrate to death. If you...

How tall are the ceilings now? If they’re at least 10’ then I’d just get a nice roll around seat for now and maybe spend money on a nice shop heater. This way it will make it really comfortable out there this winter and come spring time, or even summer, you can start raising the ceiling. This...

You should be able to easily convert from a flat ceiling to a vaulted one. I’d reach out to a structural engineer to help validate if your existing trusses just need to be beefed up a bit (by sistering bigger trusses next to current ones) or if you simply need to install collar ties, hopefully...

I buy a lot of Snap-on tools in great (very lightly used) condition from eBay, Offer Up, Craigslist, and FB Marketplace and I also shop on the trucks and from their official site - at least I used to until they changed their minimum order to $200 for free shipping. Just be patient and you’ll...

Check out eBay. That’s where I find everything I need for my two machines.

New to me! Been wanting one of these for a long time. The timing was right as I broke my second 1/2” digital torque wrench recently. Anyway, these are really easy to use and you don’t even have to zero them out when you put them away.

What was the actual issue? I’m curious as I’ve yet to find any sized clamp that this tool can’t quickly grasp and hold in an open state until it’s re-installed again.

Allen Hexs & Torx Sets? I have Porsches and an Audi and want to add that you also need triple square sockets in 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16mm - that’s just for the Audi (which will also cover any VW too). Anyway, I have a combo of Snap-on and VIM and consider the VIM to be just as good as the...

I highly recommend the high torque model. You will quickly get used to the weight. It’s just nice having an impact that’s as strong as any pneumatic impact gun.

I used mine to trim all the vinyl siding for my new 4X4 window. I also recently used it to cut a 1/4” steel rod. I like that I can control where debris or sparks will fly by changing the rotation of the blade. Also there’s no issue with power. People think think this tool should have the...

I’ve ordered the same 3/8 drive 10mm socket THREE times now from Snap-on. Do you know how expensive this is? All three were lost in my garage.

I got the Autel TS508 kit with 16 TPMS sensors since I need eight right away for two of my cars. A buddy wants another four for his car and then I’ll have four spares.
