I’m looking to make another quality tool purchase. I’m looking at T handled hex and torex sets. I like the Snap on L shaped design that allows for additional tightening leverage. In did some research and it seems that Wiha makes them for Snap on because they are identical. Also quality screw...

A lot of good points, I'm sure my late father would think I'm smoking crack on what I spend on tools, he was fine with Chinese, and grizzly wood working equipment, me, I've gotta have a pm-66 (only USA made table saw back in the early 2000's), but every time I used it, I smile. My opinion is...

WOW, to say the least, just got my snappy 3/8 ratchet and sockets today, all I can say is you get what you pay for, so far anyways. Growing up with craftsman what a difference, makes me wanna become a full time mechanic. Finish is so nice I don't want to us it, maybe just keep it on my end...

Sorry Senior guys, I did a search on this and nothing comes up, So I'm posting and will take the beating. As I've stated before, I'm having fun building up my American made hand tools for my garage. I've bought Snappy, channel lock, and Klein, unfortunately Snappy is too pricy for me being...

Hey, what's everyone's opinion about channel lock tools, slip plyer's, cutters adjustable wrenches and what ever other tool they make? I've used them for years and I like them very much, although I'm just a hobbyist that likes nice Am. made tools. I can't compare them to any of the Cadillac...

Good point Similar to what I calculated for weight per volume. At the price of the snappy KRL it should be all 14 ga. or at least significantly heaver than the competitors for the price difference. I don't mind spending the coin if there is a considerable difference in quality, but I just...

Well said, but lb. for lb. the Proto top box is heaver per volume than the $4000top of the line KRL. Not sure how, but the numbers don’t lie. Just can’t justify even if it has dual sliders and a nice orange color available. I went back and forth with roll always vs top boxes on a heavy duty...

You know I've always believed when buying anything, especially tools, buy the best you can afford, or spend a little more until it hurts, that way you only have to buy it once. Now that I've got a little extra money, I'm rebuilding my tool collection (divorce) with all American made stuff, and...

Well I did some calculation on weights, lbs per cubic in for further comparison: Proto: .020 lbs/ CI Snap on Master Series(KRL): .016 lbs/CU Snap on Classic (KRA): .015 lbs I took the listed weights and divided by listed volume David

hi all, I'm looking to get a quality tool chest. Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between Proto professional series vs Snap on? Both seem to be made from the same gauge steel, 14, 16, 18 Both are made in the USA Only difference is the price, not sure if Snap on is worth the extra...

Hi all Thanks for the reply’s No I don’t have floor drains One thing I thought about while driving to work is the dirt and debris (form keeping my garage open) collecting on the solid tiles where I don’t think that will happen on the FF. Another plus with the FF is that the dirt that does get...

I still don’t understand the benefits of a free flow tile vs a solid tile, please help. Cost? FF cheaper, (+) Snow and salt from cars? Isn’t it easier to squeegee or broom the melting snow and salt from your solid tile flooring out the door rather that have it melt and go under the tiles and...

Thanks for the sealer advice, since my concrete is pretty clean do you recommend any type of etching or acid washing before applying? david

Hi All, What a great sight, here’s my garage flooring dilemma, I welcome everyone’s opinion and ideas. On the plus side I’ve narrowed my new floor down to plastic tile, on the negative side I can’t decide on free flow or solid tiles, yes. I’ve spent most of the morning and afternoon reading...
