Good evening ladies and gents. I recently have come into a pair of Snap On PH2050 air hammers. The 2 I have were cheap because they were broke. One has a busted trigger and the other has air leaking past the barrel portion. these were in a box at an estate sale today and the lady running the...

Nice pick ups, they would be good for bench top boxes. For the stickers, use a heat gun and a plastic razor blade,/scraper. The residue should come off with some wax and grease remover. I didn't bother with locks on my boxes, the price was not worth the added security(mine are in a home garage...

Yes, I had contacted Snap On for my KR537/557 boxes. They were from the early 80's. If you can get the part number off the slide, write it down and it will help the folks on the other side. The old stock box parts are probably not too long for this world, so get them while you can! For what...

Those are nice boxes, I have the older KR557s. On the trim, it's probably unubtanium at this point. The original trim on mine was pretty chowdered up so I made some out of aluminum channel from Homeless Despot. From 20 feet it looks good enough and will protect the corners. I used 2 sided...

I have a piece of 80 grit sand paper for stubborn filters, just wrap it around the bottom and it is instant grip multiplication. If you have a car with one of the huge belly pans that is held on by 50,000 screws, a cordless impact driver is handy. A couple of cans of brake clean for spilled...

Hey there and welcome! So yes and no on the slides. Your best bet would be to call or write Snap On to see what is available for the box. They seem to be tightening up in warranty, especially for non truck customers. I paid for a few slides and they sent me some. I made it clear I was not the...

+1 on losing it.. I've lost several knives that were expensive and feel like dirt to this day that they fell out of my pocket in a customer car or at a restaurant/beer joint. I have 2 cheap tanto blade Kershaw's from Amazon and they work for me, except one the pants clip is tweaked. Every once...

A decent grade box with tools? Not a shabby haul. One of these boxes showed up on Craigslist but the pocket book couldn't support the purchase. The owner had it up for 350, the real sweetener was there was a box of drawer slides from Snap On that came with. Oh well.. Sent from my KFSOWI using...

I like your pen/marker drawer. My wife and father in law(he lives with us) keep taking my pens,pencils and sharpies from mine. I find them everywhere but in my box! Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Super lube. I dab the stuff up in all the fittings, and have no problems, if I want to change hose attachments they come right off. The lube stays put for a long time. It's my go to and the aerosol product is good as well. Good luck, garden hose dang near drive me to drinking no matter if...

Tighten until the stud snaps and back it off a quarter turn.. guttentight I'd use a torque wrench on my own vehicle. If I was doing 20 tire rotations a day, I'd have a hell of a nice set of torque sticks. They are a time saver tool, just like impact air tools, faster work, more money. For a...

I have seen a few 537/557's(greasy,dents, rusty) on Fleabay, the sellers have buy it now's of around 1000.0-1200.00 bucks..I guess there are still dreamers out there... Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

I have some Lisle stuff, it works, the only tool I've broke was a 1 piece T55 torx. They're good for the odd jobs that you run into needing a special tool for. Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Nice find for 50 bucks! They clean up nice and are just funky and cool. Looks like yours has the cover hinges intact as well. If they aren't watch out for your fingers with the drop front cover! Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Re: Large ratchet lot score today! Nice haul! I hit an estate sale this morning and got a pile of Vlchek, Craftsman and Thorsen stuff for about 20 bucks. The lady taking money didn't want to touch the rusty old tools so she just said 20 bucks. Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

I have my grandfather's, with the original booklet and 1972 calibration. He must have used it very little because it's pristine. My Torque meter is priceless.. +1 to keeping it, family stuff(especially tools) should stay close imo Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

My old Snap on boxes had the original foam liners in the drawers when I got it. It was gross and with the old oil and rotting plastic smell, stank up the garage. Pitch and use the Husky stuff or the Harbor Freight brand stuff. It's a rubbery material that stays put and is pretty cheap. I used it...

I have the Snap on instinct grip drivers and they are very nice,but spendy. I have a huge pile of old screwdrivers that have been demoted to paint can openers, punches and pry bars. There's probably going to be a Williams set that I'm going to add to the "good screwdriver" drawer. Sent from...

Wow. That is awesome and goes to show what a true professional can do. I hope you can enjoy it for many years to come. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I re-habbed an old weed hacker (Homelite with a Zama Carb) for the in-laws. Researching prices I realized it was cheaper and less time consuming to just replace the carb. It was 12 bucks on ebay. I stuck it on, put new fuel lines in the tank and Bob's your uncle it started on 2 pulls. With a...
