Has this changed recently? I have black hard handle USA Williams screwdrivers. My #1 #2 and #3 have ribs. The long shank #2 and #4 do not have ribs. I have had the drivers for about a year. :dunno:

This is awesome! First of all I can't believe I missed the Monster Garage thread (I spend too much time in the Tool Forum LOL), awesome garage! I live in Sarasota too! I will be there for sure, hopefully I can get my dad to come too. Looking forward to it!

My dad works at Volvo and has the Blue Point version http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?search=true&item_ID=635615&PartNo=YA3202&group_id=675511&supersede=&store=snapon-store&tool=all Looks just like the Kastar (probably is). It works great :beer:

This. It would not be worth the liability and cost to have someone staff the store. The real customers are already serviced on the routes. This is to showcase big stuff that is hard to haul, have a good time on Saturdays etc. If Joe DIY needs a 12mm semi deep he can come by on Saturday or go...

I seem to remember reading a small clip in a Car Craft or Hot Rod magazine years ago (5-10?) that Snap-on wanted to open retail stores. It obviously didn't happen. Perhaps a dealer can chime in, I'll ask Juan when I see him.

Did you see the Extreme Green parts washer in the back of the picture? :drool:

That was his old shop. Ive considered it!

It is. Some friends of mine and I are considering renting out a shop that would serve as a small car/truck club "work on your stuff on the weekend and after work" type place. In this area 1000-1500 sq foot warehouse w/ store fronts can be had for 500 a month. Not bad 3-4 ways.

Juan owns the building, rents out part of it too. I figure if you already have stuff in the warehouse, why not put it in a storefront for people to check out? You have to store it either way and he has enough routes to warrant a large volume of equipment.

From my understanding the store is mainly for big stuff like boxes, shop equipment, welders, diagnostics etc. It will be good for shop owners to check out stuff. You will be able to get stuff warrantied too. The store is in the same building as the trucks so if you come in needing a specific...

Maybe if he has some HF stuff on trade in LOL? (would have to be A LOT of stuff)

My computer desk is very similar! In college I made a 8 foot dinner/study/beer pong table out of 4x4 legs, 2x4 frame and 4 2x12x8 boards. It was the only piece of furniture I saved when I left Orlando last year. When I got it home, I shortened it by taking out one 2x12 (only 3 wide now). I re...

One of the local Snap-on dealers has opened a retail store in Sarasota FL. He has four routes/trucks in the area. I was not able to go to the opening on Saturday due to work but my dad went. The store will be open every Saturday 9am-1pm. For anyone familiar with the area, the store is off of...

:willy_nil Damn! I was at the Rolex 24 last year and saw a booth with true aluminum race jacks. I don't remember the brands but the prices were over $500. True aluminum race jacks are available here I do not need or own a true race jack so I am not sure what a good price or brand is.

I have one with two magnets that is about 5 by 8 and I think 4 of the HF 5" round trays. I really like them for rebuilding things, rotating tires and for holding nuts and bolts when under the hood. The HF trays are nothing special and they dent easy but you can't beat them when they are on...

Nice haul Hemifalcon. My last two girlfriends were from Wauconda/Barrington, then Hoffman Estates and the current GF is from Schaumberg.....and I'm in Florida!

Currently work for a Construction Manager/General Contractor. It's a small family company, good friends and i have done it on and off for 6 years. Started just in the summers cleaning up/ demo and now I am a assistant superintended/ superintendent on smaller jobs. I am taking my last class in...

I have a Milwaukee plastic case that holds 6 and 9" blades, it came with a variety pack. I like it because it fits into the pockets of my Husky tool bag. I know that Dewalt makes a similar case and I'm sure other manufactures like Morse and Lennox have something like it too. Case...

I enjoyed deciphering that! Creative :thumbup:
