Bought mine about 8 yrs ago. No issues.

Hmmm...

Snap-on SWR1

8-point sockets work best on 4-point bolts. 12mm 12-point shallow (sometimes flex) is common on dropping drive shafts.

I have a set of late 1970s SAE Craftsman combo wrenches that I have had since new. I have just discovered they were made in Japan! With no model number on them. How disappointing....

SK Tools is now starting to get into the tool truck scene. 5 years ago I had a SK 40972 (1/4" flex ratchet) with a 2' cheater pipe on it to loosen a top starter bolt on a 1994 4.6L Ford Crown Vic & it worked without breaking. Anyone who has tried to replace a starter on that model car will...

I have had several SK, Snap-on dual 80, Craftsman... The SK was very strong and reliable. I only like the Dual 80s more because the handle does not have the famous SK knurling (not comfortable to me), but does have an easy On/Off selector switch which makes it easy to change direction with the...

I have two of the metric Polished Flare Nut Wrench Sets (# 9-42013). The set on the left is CRAFTSMAN PROFESSIONAL (bought at Sears 10 years ago) and the set on the right is CRAFTSMAN (bought at ACE Hardware today). Both have identical model numbers as far as the kit and each individual piece...

If I had to save my receipt for every socket, screwdriver, ratchet, pliers, etc that I bought so that the store (or tool truck) would make good on their LIFETIME WARRANTY promise, I would have a 5 gallon bucket packed full of receipts. Having to save all my receipts for every tool purchase is...

So overall which set is of higher stronger quality do you think, Crescent X2, Carlyle P900, or Gear wrench double X versions??

Carlyle P900 long reach plier set. Includes the P910 & P911. Compared to the Crescent X2 and GearWrench 82106 Double X Pliers Set. These are 13.25" long.

My SNAP-ON ratchets. Mostly Dual 80.

An update. XL35: I bled the jack again according to the directions that came with it; open release, pump 10 fast full pumps, close release, raise jack all the way, lower all the way, & now it can be put under a load. I did several load tests & could not get it to duplicate the weird situation...

Really? When i took it out of box, before the first use, i bled it according to the directions. Then after that is when the weird thing happened. I wonder if i should bleed it again? I was just afraid that when vehicle is up, about to place jack stands under car, the handle it pop up...

Tested the old jack, handle still rises. Tested new jack, something weird happened. As i was lifting car, i pushed handle down and it would not stay down at all. Lucky i still had a good grip on handle. Handle rose with much force, car lowered as handle rose. As if the jack was trying to...

Got an oil mess now. The block the jack was on fell over and back casters hit floor. Oil came out left hole. Got to add oil & bleed....

All i used was a magnet. I did see another something in the hole, could of been another ball. I didnt see in the left. I just pulled a ball out and put it back. There was some oil in the left keeping me from seeing in it easily. The oil on the right was lower.

Ok. Well the first one i opened was the right side. I put it all back with light taps. I kept checking the seating process with a small magnetic pick-up tool. The magnet kept on bringing the ball back out. I assumed that it was not seated when the magnet can do this? So gave it a couple...

So the upper ball basically is to not rise in the hole? So i put it all back in, tap with a punch/hammer, put hex screw back on & should fix it? I was looking at the info EDGAR sent, if its the same model, i am missing a ball bearing. That info says a 10mm, 8mm, the spacer, then a 5.5mm. I...

Used 6mm hex. So far this is what i can get out of the hole with a small magnet.
