    Found a Snap on F730 today in bad shape for 1$

    I found a Snap on F730 ratchet looks like it had been buried in a muddy creek. I ordered a rebuild kit today I wish I would have taken pictures before took it apart it was the worst I have seen so far. I guess people don't know you can rebuild these tools instead of letting them go for nothing.

    I wonder if oil prices are going to shoot up with the shut down of refineries. It seems like the price of a quart of oil was just starting to come down, but I bet they will go up and stay up for a while.
