    Astro and Lisle exhaust pipe stretcher kits and 5" adapter

    I've tried searching but cant find any definitive answer. The Astro 78835 and Lisle 17350 pipe stretcher kits look identical to me other than the 80 dollar price tag difference. Does anyone know if there is actually a difference or not? I would like to buy the cheaper priced Astro kit but my...

    Dial Caliper Reading Wrong

    Mitutoyo 505-644-50 8" dial caliper. Trying to measure an oil pump rotor today and found out the thing is basically 19 thou off. I've never had a issue with it before but I'm pretty sure some other jackass had their hands on it last week and who knows wtf he might have done with/to it...

    Snap On EED525F Multimeter

    Just wondering if anybody has one and what they think of it? I've never been around one that I can remember, probably fondled one in the Snappy truck when they came out but don't remember. Automotive diagnostics will be it's main duty. My 'daily driver' meter is a Fluke 87V so it's ok if this...

    Digital/TechAngle Torque Wrenches

    I think my current Snap On TechAngle is on its way out......Im starting to question how accurate the angle part of it is anyway. I did cylinder heads on a V8 today and it just didnt seem 'right' by feel; also noticed my lines on my head bolts weren't all perfectly aligned. Close, but not...

    Im trying to find something like this.... https://www.homedepot.com/p/Magnetic-Tool-Organizer-Panel-12X6HD/309831822 Just a few days ago I seen a company that had them but I cant find them now. I was thinking it was VIM or maybe Tekton but I cant find it on their website so it must have been...

    Snap On scanners-Verus Edge support and Zeus+

    Just got off the Snappy truck and my driver made it sound like they might stop supporting updates for my Verus Edge in the not so distant future. Anyone else heard anything about that? My snap on guy is new and young so he admits he isn't 100% sure on a lot of that stuff yet but was going to...

    Help with fluorescent vs led bulb comparison...and general shop lighting.

    Ok so in my shop I have 4ft. 6 bulb T5 fixtures. 8 of the 12 fixtures have ballast out so I either have only two or four of the six bulbs working in those fixtures. Been thinking of just converting them all to direct wire LED bulbs. Here is my problem....I popped a bulb out and when I look up...

    Good power steering pulley puller?

    I'm needing a good P/S pulley puller and installer kit that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I've been using cheapy Performance Tool branded ones for years and although I've had to replace it a couple times from getting worn out it never bothered me since they were only about $25 a pop. That was...

    Cheapest place for individual sockets?

    Any ideas where the cheapest place to get individual sockets would be? Particularly need inch and a sixteenth through at least inch and a quarter in deep 1/2 drive. Impact or chrome doesn't really matter. They don't need to be anything high end either since they are just finishing off a...

    Any 'unbreakable' inspection mirrors?

    I probably go through 10 inspection mirrors a year because I always break the glass somehow. I started buying the cheap ones out of the three dollar bargain bin at the local hardware store, but the last two have had the glass fall right out of the holder and break on me :lol: They come with a...

    Any regrets switching from S.O. 14.4v to Milwaukee M12?

    I finally think I'm going to pull the trigger on switching from my Snap On 14.4 tools to the Milwaukee M12. Home Depot is having some pretty good deals on the M12 stuff, so I feel like now is the time to take the plunge. I'm tired of sending my S.O. impacts and ratchets in for repairs that...

    A/C Dye Injection Gun

    What's a good one? My SpotGun finally bit the dust today (technically I lost it somewhere in the trees behind the shop when it magically went flying from my hands, pissed me off for the last time) Its been a POS since day one so I dont want another one of those. Looking for something that...

    EVAP/Fuel connector install tool

    I don't know its official name, here's a picture to install these connectors.... My install tool/gun finally crapped out. It's been a pile of garbage since day one (Dorman, go figure :puke: ) Any recommendations on who makes a good one?

    Any 4 post lift on casters bigger than 9K Lbs?

    Anyone know of any 4 post lifts that can be moved on casters but are larger than 9,000 pounds. Seems to be the cutoff point. I can get by with a 9k as this lift is going to be a 'spare' so to say, but a 10/11/12k would really be nice for the times I have multiple crew cab long box dually...

    High tooth count, small head 3/8 torque wrench suggestions

    I'm looking for suggestions for a new 3/8 torque wrench for tight areas. My Snap On just has too much play for me at times...I can always make it work, but it can be a pain sometimes. Its a flex head, and even with the 80 tooth head I put on it it still seems like too much of a swing in...

    Decent keypad door knob

    The door knob on the shops main walk in door is starting to give me fits. Ive been entertaining the idea of getting one with an electric keypad but Im assuming there is probably a lot of junk out there. Wondering who has what and how they seem to be holding up. My main requirements are that...

    Built in clap on benchtop

    Anyone done something like this? Finally got fed up pressing balljoints into a steering knuckle yesterday and decided I need something like this to hold awkward shaped things that don't work in a vise very well. I was thinking basically an upside down 'L' with a threaded rod at the end that...

    Concrete Densifier for extreme dusting floor?

    Ok guys, I have a 20x40 ft patch of concrete on the far end of my shop that Ive been unhappy with since day one. It was an afterthought to pour that section and I believe it just got dry on us to fast. Surface is fairly rough (for a shop floor), not super hard by any means (in comparison to...
