Thanks for the replies. Yes, it was an impact socket. Granted it was stepped up a drive size, which is what I assumed lead to its breaking. I'll get ahold of SK for warranty and ask about the pinless. Ill also look into pinless for 1/2".

I broke a 19mm 3/8" drive yesterday. It was my fault. I don't have 1/2" swivel impacts, so I put a 3/8" on one of those Snap On adapters with the replaceable square drive, and attached everything to a fairly new 2235timax. Turned the power up, and four hits in the pin broke into two pieces. I'm...

Not 11/16", that's my bad. I wasn't thinking before I typed. 11/32". Big difference. lol.

For me, the round shank isn't the problem, as I've never had a bit spin loose in the chuck. For me it's finding a drill bit that doesn't dull so fast. Just tonight I dulled (in a row) SIX previously sharp 11/16" HS USA made drill bits on one short bolt (with a torn off head) on my car. Used...

I might offer $50 if I was in a good mood at the time. Maybe $55 since it looks like he stood on top of the tool box to take photo #5.

What an idiot. I wouldn't have done that even if it WASN'T fragile, it weighed 100 pounds, and I got paid $2 an hour. Not only does it make him look like a fool given that the entire box says "fragile", I would also think that flipping it like that would be SLOWER than just carrying it to the...

Idk about the box. But out of curiosity, do you go to yard sales and/or fleamarkets? Because I've found a lot of truck brand (and their industrial counterpart) tools at yard sales. In fact, just picked up a small lot last weekend (Matco t50 socket, proto 10mm hex socket, Armstrong clamp...

All I can say is be very careful on eBay. I just bid last night on what was supposed to be a brand new 2235TiMax. Says "2235TiMax" in the title, and has a stock photo of a 2235TiMax as well. Scroll down and read the description carefully again today, and it says 2135TiMax. If I win I'm not...

Constantly. I buy lots of good quality tools on eBay for significantly less than any other retailer offers. I've gotten new Proto socket sets for half of what Amazon/Zoro/Whatever asks for them, same with SK flare wrench sets. Even bought a complete USA made OTC ball joint press kit (small...

I emailed and got a free blade sent to me. Easy. I didnt have to mail in the old one.

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I tried looking this up a few times in the past, especially after seeing the video showing the new SK design of ratcheting wrench, but didn't find anything. Is there a design difference between your typical GW style single pawl ratcheting wrench and SnapOn's?

4-10 Dual 80s, depending on which ones you choose.

No guilt, because the more I buy, the less often I have to borrow someone else's. I hate borrowing tools.

I use garage journal threads and amazon reviews for research. I buy wherever the best deal is, and if I can't find a deal I'll buy another brand. I don't own many, if any, tools that I paid MSRP for, or anywhere near. Most are eBay purchases and student discount purchases. If you can sell on...

I haven't had one strip, but I worry about it sometimes under high torque. I will say, though, that I've have an FX80 ratchet handle flex quite a bit when pulling with both hands, and even though while I was doing it, I pictured it letting go on me, it never happened.

I got an email yesterday from SK customer support answering my question about the delay, and they person who responded said hopefully in the next few weeks.

Has anyone gotten a RECENT update as to when they will release these for purchase online (no local source near me that I know of)? I know they originally said Spring, but that's come and gone.

I don't think that's how it works exactly. There are 6 pawls, 2 engaged at a time. Instead of having to rotate the wrench an entire tooth to get to the next position, you only have to rotate the wrench 1/3 of a tooth for the next two pawls to engage. That's why it has such a low arc swing...

I know for a fact that Snap On makes thin double open end wrenches because I've seen them, but don't know the part number. And Armstrong either makes or used to make thin double open end wrenches as well. Also, I'm 99% sure I saw some thin service wrenches on the William's site recently that...
