The "cost" of a tool covers many things: production, qc, marketing, distribution, service and economies of scale. Snap-On has quality tools distributed through (IMO) inefficient channels. Inefficient from the manufacturer perspective not the consumers, to the consumer a truck at the door is...

Cornwell still uses that design.

Craigslist FAQ... Q: Is there a connection between craigslist and eBay? A: eBay acquired 25% of the equity in craigslist from a former shareholder in august of 2004.

If the right combination of vendor distribution channel and manufacturer could be arranged, DeWalt and many other companies would leverage their name and reputation i.e. Duralast Tools | Kawasaki Tools. With all the mergers and acquisitions, many times the manufacturer or vendor has a known...

Snap-On seems to be “licensing”, for lack of a better word, their name and trademark to various companies to distribute a range of products including LED lights, gloves and etc. through normal mass marketing chains like Ace. I would guess they are just getting a royalty fee from AllTrade. But I...

Great... No exploding head smiley when you need one!

I voted that is does not matter to me. Overall finish and tool feel are what I usually notice; however, to me the champagne does appear to be less finished than the silver. I am not an industrial tool user; however, I own a few Armstrong tools (along with about a half dozen other brands).

My son (look to the left) used to make a trip to the tool chest every night for tools to play with... about 2 yrs at the time. Now he wants a tool chest for his small collection of tools... almost 7 yrs old. He has settled for a drawer in my chest. On a side note when a gave him some spare...

I was working on a barn last year... 18' in the air. I used a T-bevel to get an angle and then handed it to my 15 year old nephew. Climbed down to see him "playing" with it :shocking:. On the up side, he learned how to use a T-bevel 18' in the air :spit:.

I use both... I have a small pegboard over a four foot bench that has a set of screwdrivers and other often used small hand tools. I also have an eight foot section that holds handsaws, framing hammers, squares, levels and extension cords. My other hand tools are in tool boxes or in their...

I voted never. I use a 6 pt. box end wrench to break fasteners loose. I was under the impression that ratcheting wrenches should not be used in that manner. If that is not true, I would probably use them more often.

FYIW, looser is misspelled. It should be loser. Which is defined as "someone or something that is marked by consistently or thoroughly bad quality, performance, etc.: Don't bother to see that film, it's a real loser." [Dictionary.com] I guess they do not cover that in med school.

GM W body and GM J Body use an E-Torx to hold the rear wheel cylinders on. But it is really hard to get a socket in there to remove them.

I have used them and the quality (Taiwan) seems OK for my non pro use. This is the brand that Advance Auto and other parts store have as the loaner sets.

Voted No... Mostly Craftsman with other brands thrown in... Snap-On, MAC, Old Husky, Gear Wrench, Stanley. Like others have said, my favorite ratchet is a long handle Snap-On. But to be fair, I should probably buy other long handle ratchets from Proto, Craftsman etc. to be positive. Yeah that...

Can you post a picture of and describe the slide catch?

There is usually a catch in the slide that needs to be pushed in or pushed down while the drawer is being pulled out. Directions are usually a good idea also.
