I picked up this Facom 115A.100 which is the perfect tool for breaking seized coilover lock nuts loose! I also picked up some set fillers; a red Craftsman screwdriver lot to get the #3 Phillips, a 22mm crowfoot, and some etorx plus. Perfectly sized for most 60mm and 2-1/2” ID race spring...

Most of those big sockets are used on a hydraulic torque wrenches. One of the most common brands, and the general slang term for these devices, is Hytorc. The 3-1/2" drive Hytorc Avanti model goes up to 138,510 foot pounds, which should be enough for most bridges and skyscrapers. As stated...

I finally splurged on the SK 1/2” drive set (#4147-12) after dreaming about it since the 2003 SK Facom catalog was published. I found a lightly used US-made set on eBay, completing my set!

Unless I missed someone else releasing one, they are only tool company selling a 72” handled Prybar: Beyond that, their combination wrenches are great and most of their ratchets are US-made and very good. Neither are cheaper than the other top brands. They do rebrand a lot of tools, but...

I agree with the above advice: use the supplied wedge anchors, use new bits including rebar cutters, use a proper SDS-Plus or SDS-Max drill, clean the hole out really well, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. To answer your original question, yes, I have personally installed a lift...

Summary and background for those living under a rock: Val Tools rose to fame a few years ago, primarily through short-form content on Instagram, TikTop, and YouTube shorts. Val and her husband, who was mostly off-screen, own(ed) a Snap-on tool franchise somewhere in Michigan outside of Chicago...

My haul! Norseman drill set, Wright 1/4” - 1” set, 4” rule, a few spare 10mm sockets, plus the shirt and this cool bird.

Ordered some Wright and Norseman! Edit: order#19360 since everyone is posting theirs!

I put together a tray for this specific purpose. The sockets are 8-19mm plus 7/16-9/16; wrenches are 7-19 plus 3/8-9/16; bit sockets are hex 4-10 and T15-T40; bits are phillips, Pozidriv, 1.5-3mm hex, and T8-10. A few things are missing in the picture but you can see the empty spots for them...

I joined the cheap import bushing driver bandwagon 😂 This set is from Vevor and seems decent overall. The case looks more robust than some of the other options and they were just as cheap.

I found a reliable Matco dealer for the first time in my life, and I’ve been working with him for almost a year now. I texted him to pick up a new pneumatic die grinder to try out…long story short his position is getting eliminated next week (corporate owned route and he’s not in a position to...

I only have one, but I like it. I like the locking feature, which is slim and works well. The handle isn’t as bulky as a Snap-on Instinct but still large enough to grip. I saw that the sets were on sale but I don’t use them enough to allocate space for two full trays of them.

Two micro bit sets. The IFIXIT set is substantially higher quality than the Snap-on: better selection of bits, cleaner cuts in the foam, two tone foam, more legible markings, anodized aluminum handles (with a bearing in the end cap!) vs. poorly fitting plastic swivel caps. I’m a Snap-on fanboy...

I picked up this wacky 11mm flare nut wrench on eBay because someone on Instagram claimed it works great. I’m skeptical, but I’ll give it a shot for my next brake line project. Also some Sunex jumbo metric crowfoot wrenches, which I needed to cross off a row in my “tools I don’t own” spreadsheet.

A few more Vise Grip clamps for my collection and the largest Knipex retaining ring pliers: These are the largest in the range, with .120” pins, and they are comically large compared to the other sizes!

I have a Challenger CL10V3 and I am very happy with it. I use it to lift my fleet of slammed 1990s Volkswagens and my 2012 Silverado 2500HD crew cab long bed tow rig (6.0l gas) and it works great all around. The Bendpak XPR10AS at my old shop worked well but was visibly lower quality...

I made it from one of the Snap-on writing trays that come with the box. I drilled a bunch of holes and mounted clips and socket rails to it. I think most of the clips were these McMaster# 1722A41 or 1722A42: Spring Clip Holder, for 3/16" to 3/8" Item Diameter, Nickel-Plated Steel...

I don't have a Lista Technician Series box, but I have purchased a LOT of Lista products through the years in my professional life. All of my personal toolboxes are Snap-on. Here are my thoughts: First and foremost, they are rather difficult to buy. One way is to become an expert on part number...

That is the style I use and prefer. I started buying spares when they popped up in nice condition since they are long discontinued, and eventually it spiraled into an all-out collection :ROFLMAO:
