I opted for both but now that I think about it, it is better to have them separate so that people can set the funds aside easier and we can have a higher number of purchasers for hopefully a steeper discount on each. I'm excited to see how this turns out. I need to look into some SK stuff and...

There really isn't any question as to what brand to get. IR guns can be used hard and put away wet and still work for years. I don't oil my gun often, I haven't seen the other techs I work with oil or grease theirs and we use them every day that we work and show the guns no mercy. The shop has a...

I'd have a hard time letting my 2235 go. It's a great gun. I haven't found a stud I couldn't brake with it so at this point it's a question of reliability over strength.

For home use, I'd probably stick to the cheaper boxes unless you find a good deal on a professional box used. HF boxes are almost overkill for the home user and will take a long long time to wear out. In fact, a lot of people use them professionally with no issues. I'd like to have a nice...

I'm not **** about my tools. I buy them to use them for the long haul. Scratches don't bother me so long as the tool still functions well. I don't want tools that I have to baby. I try to stay away from anything with soft handles outside of pliers. The trick to me is to use tools with longer...

The slides are under lifetime warranty to the original owner (no verification needed) and Snapon will ship them out to the original owner so long as the original owner doesn't receive service through a snapon tool truck (again no verification needed). Snapon is required to NOT ask you to send...

I've been happy with the NAPA jacks. I use them professionally and will let cars sit on them while I'm doing tires and such. I've had cars sit on them for a couple of hours while we're trying to contact the customer about something. I had a car sit on one all day long about a month ago while a...

Really nice box. I like the hutch. It's nice to have a place to work where you can lock it up when you're done using it.

I'd pretty much sell any of my tools if I had to. I don't have any old collectible tools that I can't get again. I wouldn't ever get rid of my 1998.5 dodge ram with the Cummins turbo diesel. My wife and I went on a 8 month road trip from FL to Nova Scotia Canada, to Alberta Canada, to Cali...

Oldldh, what kind of uses would you need that kind of variety of hammers for? Thanks!

What are you working on so we can get an idea? Maybe go in for a tire rotation and make sure the set the torques properly? Otherwise, I'd probably stick to a really long breaker bar.

why not just put a jack under the straight side and point it in the direction you wanna go? If you're rarely going to move it I don't see why the need to spend money and too much time on it.

It's funny, how many people to you know that actually move around a tool box that size? I'm getting the vibe from this site that professional brand tools aren't all they're cracked up to be. I have a set of Autocraft 6 point sockets that I use for breaking oil pan bolts all day long. We have a...

Do you think there are any stickers or markings on the inside

I have the Matco branded version of that cart and I am really happy with it. It has a lot of nice qualities in that it is expandable, light, small and with the low resale you can usually patch them together with other carts on Craigs. Here is mine, I lowered the bottom shelf and raised the...

Wow, that is some really good info. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one to ask this question. What is the advantage to getting an impact set and a non impact set vs just the impact set by itself?

A trans band tools makes sense. I like using a proper caliper spreader over a C-clamp as it doesn't rack the piston and allows you to feel if there is any debris where the piston sits in the caliper.

I hate to say it but I have a set of three Proto ratchets 1/4" 3/8" and 1/2" and I don't think the warranty is all that great. I dropped the 3/8" (the one that I use the most) from about waist height. The circlip came out and along with it all of the other guts. The paw went off somewhere deep...

I found a set of snapon wire cutters and a snapon socket in a boat that I had worked on one time. The owner said the last guy that worked on it left them and is long gone so I could have them. If someone out there at one point found a full set of USA made SAE and Metric Craftsman Cross Force...
