    Snap On Ratchet, no USA stamp

    How come my comment got deleted ? I was just pointing out how every snap on threat turns into hissy fits.

    How do the 4 truck brands deal w/toolbox slide replacement on used boxes?

    Boy, getting to be any topic that says snap on is going to be a hissy fight these days!

    Wilton Bash Hammers

    I have to agree that that is **** on this one. They say unbreakable.........even marketing 1000 bucks I think if you break it. It had better hold up and be taken care of. I am not one who thinks that abused tools should be covered.......but if they want to make the bold claim of an unbreakable...

    Snap On

    With that said, I like SK for a USA brand. They hold up well and look good. For your it would come down to what is available locally for you. Sometimes wright, williams, or proto would be a local option. Proto can be expensive as well......but with some shopping it can be had for the same price...

    Snap On

    OK, I just threw out the import stuff for the value point. I would certainly say that snap on is not a value brand by any means...unless you are depending on it every day. Even then........hard to say if the value is really there. I have multiples of sockets so if one fails I have backup. For...

    Most expensive tool for one use

    Snap on ball joint press. Bjp1. I am finding more uses for it.......but I doubt I will ever make enough commission from it to justify the price vs an OTC kit. It save some time doing some lower ball joints due to its reversibility.... But not enough to make up the cost difference on my...

    13 useful tools you should only buy cheap

    I have said it many times here.......those HF magnetic trays are complete ****! I bought 4. I have since replaced them with performance tool branded ones. They were like a dollar more, and have 6 times more holding power. I throw a nut in a HF tray and it slides out.....I throw the same nut in a...

    Snap On

    Not smoking anything (heck not even a drink yet) I just get baited into replying in these threads, and thought I would spew some nonsense since this topic always turns into a ******* match and a lot of dumb **** comes out. It seems that snap on is always in the discussion for "best"...

    Chicago Pneumatic Classic

    I have always used cp air tools, most were shop supplied. No stores in my area ever has them on the shelf. I did buy a 734 as my first 1/2 impact. It was flawless as far as it always worked. I ended up getting an ir with more power, so the 734 went to home use. Then my uncle borrowed it and...

    Snap On

    I heard snap on is waiting for sears to tank.......then they will buy the craftsman name. They will get rid of the snap on name all together. They will sell all the old snap on stock by enticing people with a free pair of robogrips. They will warranty old craftsman stuff and give you 2...

    brand new snap-on round head ratchet lots of drag

    The snap on round heads get better with use. I don't know about anyone else, but mine do not like any lube. Not grease,heavy oil, light oil, or dry graphite. Clean, and dry. That's how mine like to be. The back drag will get better with use. Careful using the drill method.........I sent one of...

    Punch and Chisel Set

    I have mostly craftsman, they work most of the time.......I have a couple smaller snap on ones that were needed for certain things. They have broke.......I have some bigger proto punches that have stood up to some serious beatdowns. 8 lbs slege beatings......they are tapered alignment punches. I...

    Kobalt 227 Piece Mechanic Tool Set $80

    I just went and got one..... Not bad. A bit of 12 and 6 point redundancy.......but decent set for the price. It gives me some tools at home. I had nothing at home before. Now I can at least change a lawnmower blade or spark plug.I did not try a coupon code. It was close to closing time and...

    Sears Could Be Gone If Slump Lasts Through Christmas

    I too started with craftsman, I also did replace most of them with better quality as money allowed. They were decent homeowner grade, but not up to pro use for the long term. I still keep a set of the regular screwdrivers at work.......they make great beaters......and I lose them from time to...

    Impacts, how loud is too loud?

    3/8th Impact Socket Recommendation

    I have Grey pneumatic impact sockets that I have used for about 7 years. I also use them with ratchets. Chrome only comes out when clearance is tight. So they get used hard. Some say the size printing wears off, but my mine have not yet. 3/8 metric goes from 6-22 deep and shallow. Or maybe its...
