i would like to add something important IF this had been my fault, i would be very very pleased at how well the box took the punishment. and i could live with it since it is technically in working order. since its not, i am extremely pissed at the cost of a replacement since my company will...

im meeting with our body shop this afternoon. my manager wants to obviously take the cheapest route. for me, repairing it is not good enough. sending it to a hack body shop filled with unskilled labor to tack my box back together doesnt cut it. i bought this thing for my career, and now 5...

really? i could have had 6 mos off and a new box,, doesnt sound bad to me.. heh, but my right hand is sprained, it was the one holding the handle in some vain attempt to stop the fall

ill try to get pics. the only pics that exist are on the company camera, i will have to try to get them from my manager. my cellphone at the time was jammed in my toolbox! so i couldnt take any pictures. ive phoned my manager, he did this 'i havent heard about this or seen pictures? your...

i was pushing my KRL722/791 when a drain (an unavoidable drain that runs the entire length of the shop) gave way, my box went completely backwards. damage is minor due to snap-ons construction and the fact it fell over backwards. back side is all fucked up, some seams are popping, the lids a...

prime example; my forman just had his super old (i dont know how, looks like it is at least 70's) timing light repaired by our snap-on driver. sounds like your rep *****.

shouldnt it have been on warranty within the first year? hurrr, i find these warranty issues believable but strange, considering our shop is still warrantying SO from the 60s/70s without problem. parts i mean, we still acquire parts for them. my drive would be gettin a boot up his *** if i had...

hot dog we have a weiner. twas an easy one:shocking: a true nerd could have used the paint color to narrow that down to a golf.

i borrowed my SO drivers demo for the weekend to do a clutch job for my brother. i havent had an air compressor at home since i moved into an apartment years ago, and apartment living doesnt lend itself well to air tools. this tool is an excellent alternative for field work or for those lacking...

i have a formula ive been using since i started in the trade. i make a deal at minimum 15% off or/and no tax... our sales tax is 12%, so usually i just offer to pay the list price all in, or something just below it. usually it works like this: 'how much are those?' '195' 'ill pay you 190...

turned a SDD204O into a #2 phillips i can keep in my coveralls without taking up too much space. a good idea for anyone else who works fleet and does a lot of running repairs. been using it non stop ever since, and also its original SDD204O brother that i keep too, life savers. just thought id...

i dont really know,, sorry.. BUT what i do know is this: the only crescent brand i have, an 8" is my least favorite adjustable-metric. i have some SO i love, and a 12" one that says CHINA, it has much nicer action than the crescent and nicer finish... i dont know where i bought it, so i cant...

the old guys at the shop have 'dual' metrics anything over 1"~ came marked with the metric equivalent, if you believe its good enough to use a 1-1/4 on a 32mm,,, which, generally it is. it just rubs me the wrong way. then SO/Mac realized they couldnt sell metric if they were telling...

does anyone besides SO make the wobble plus extensions? its time to upgrade my extensions from garbage and i could really benefit from wobbles, i have Cman at home and i like the wobble, but i tried out the snap-on plus style, with wobble and straight, and figure if im going to buy nice...

cheaper the product the larger the profit margin, the easier to warranty. i dont know about HF, but our equivalent princess auto, doesnt even need a receipt or logo the stuff is so cheap, bring them something that looks like the product and get CASH. it got me through school returning pullers...

in canada they dont even sell the american craftsman anymore, and we thought we were missing out!

we just bought an IR spline drive and a new IR 3/4" gun, the 3/4 is so powerful i dont even get out the 1" or the spline drive anymore.

youre taller than me and i reach my the exact same box fine. personal preference i guess...

every one with a crafstman, and one guy with a mac have had to build subframes since the boxes have all buckled under the load. one has even set his casters out as you describe. its not that challenging. hate to start slinging toolbox mud, but people that say craftsman is good enough for...

thanks:beer: some good thoughts going around here. i had never thought i could get them both different gifts... one guy is a tool tradesman and would use a knife/leatherman... the other is a radio DJ and would probably just put it in a drawer. i need to think of something for him...
