+1!! I agree. I cant believe how many jacks are out there and how few manufactures seem to make them.

I agree, the Napa and Arcan jacks look identical to the ones Matco sells. i would have to believe they are all Arcan jacks. I actually own one from the matco truck. I was able to get the jack for 150 its a low profile long version they sell. The matco rep was trying to get rid of it. He got it...

That SO brass hammer is great! I really like the shape of the SO hammers the handles are very comfortable and secure. My complaint with the old MAC ones is the handles are slim and made from the plastic that tends to get slippery especially on hot days.

If you do alot of work with a hammer and its not intricate stuff with small light weight hammers treat yourself to a dead-blow ball pein. I love the 24oz one. I feel that it gets the same amount done as a regular 32 does. BTW, I work on farm equipment so there is lots of use for hammers...

You are correct they do own them. I am not sure if they did when I bought my hammers. I believe I got mine in 1996. Our MAC rep changed to Snap On shortly after that and since been buying SO and Matco.

This is also a little OT but I will post it here since we are talking about hammers. If you plan on using them on punches and chisels do yourself another favor and dont skimp there either. I use hammers and punches often on heavy equipment and I have seen a few fail.

That looks exactly like the two Mac ones I have same color and everything. I have a SO 24 that has a different very comfortable handle. I believe most of the ball pein dead blow hammers will be made by the same company. I notice that most of them all look the same. there is a thread on dead...

Hammers all have purposes and then we have our favorites. I have an old Craftsman set thats probably 16 and 24 oz that I got over 15 years ago. I have replaced the handles and they are great. I keep them next to my vise. However for most of my work I find I gravitate to the set of ball pein...

I was looking for this same jack. I did all the research and called all the retailers that are listed with no luck. I didnt go the route of the Omega. We have a larger Omega at the farm and its not holding up well at all and it just picks up pickup trucks nothing over its specified limits. I...

I have been a fan of DeWalt 18v tools for years. I got the impact wrench from the 18v camp and it was a let down. Then decided to try the 36 volt one to take lug nuts off of a track car. It failed it was not able to get them off. I thought it was battery related. I charged up and tried again. No...

I gave these some serious thought. I ended up getting the Craftsman ones tonight. I hope they work. I need to do a diff swap on my car and I noticed the E-torx. They arent in great shape either so I am hoping its not a big issue. I went with the Craftsman ones to have them in hand sooner than...

This is great news. If these are like the majority of torx related stuff I have used they will require some sort of warranty! I havent had many problems with tools but if its torx related I tend to struggle. Its bad luck I guess.

Thanks, I will take a look at them. I actually think I saw them at Sears the other day. I had to kill some time and Sears is the mans daycare when the ladies are shopping. I had the regular torx from them and I kept rounding one of them off. I also have Matco ones now and they work great. I...

Hello everyone. I did some searching last night and didnt really find what i was looking for. I am getting ready to take on a project that requires a few sizes of external torx. At this time I have none. I looked at the fastners and I have to be honest they arent great in terms of condition...

Is there such a thing as a low profile floor jack that is USA made? I have searched for a very long time for one. The only good quality jack I have found is from AC hydraulics and it is out of stock for a long period or indefinately it seems.

I agree 100% I have the pro's and my father has one Dominator and they look identical.

Hello everyone, I did a search and only found one thread which I wish i would have found a few weeks ago. Today I took delivery of a matco ratcheting screwdriver set. The biggest one they have with the stubby and standard handles along with a large amount of attachments. I 100% agree with the...

I use the one man pressure bleeder from Motiv. It works well. The only issue I have is there are leak forming where the hoses connect. I think this can be easily fixed.

I have a few ratchets with these handles in 1/4 through 1/2 inch drive. I like them on the 1/4 inch for the reasons listed above. The other sizes are nice but they do get very dirty. I have found if you are doing any really dirty work its best to stick with the chrome handles. I have some of...

I only have a set of Snap On ratcheting wrenches in Metric. I am interested in adding to them. I dont think I would get the SO ones again they are expensive and I lont like that they have 0 offset on some jobs. I find that I would rather have some knuckle clearance. I am not sure if the SO...
