    What to pay for an older Matco box? Pics

    Yeah it's a little tall but @ 6'1" I can make it work. I don't use top of box often. Drawers work well. Not a huge fan of the built in dividers, but it isn't the end of the world. Here is my socket drawer.

    Knipex high leverage cutters

    My buddy has a few of these 10" cutters. Which are over 10 years old and still kick *** today. He even uses them to cut small bolts and screws. I picked up a pair for myself and noticed a few differences. The head on new one is about an 1/8" fatter, the curve on the handle is less pronounced...

    HF Free Tape Measures...

    They are Off because the tang is very flimsy you can bend it by hand. I had one read a 1/4" off before. Realized the tang bumped something and bent. They over hang the body unlike most real tapes.

    What is the best lube for brake caliper slide pins?

    I use anti seize aswell. I took a brake and suspension class while in a Toyota tech program and the instructor said he prefers that over anything else. Since then I've been using it on every car and every brake job I've done. Family cars. Friends cars. My own.. not a squeak. And guess what...

Anything I should know about it or look out for? Been wanting a bigger vise for garage. Been looking here and there for a while. No other deals...

    Blue point air ratchet rebuild

    Think the 700 e and f are close enough? Wonder the reason for discontinue. Suppose I could take it down to the snap on building. Never went in there before, just need to remember to bring a few snap on items that need to be replaced. Just always forget and nother high on priority list. Thanks

    Blue point air ratchet rebuild

    AT700E MADE IN JAPAN I've had this ratchet for quite some time. I haven't been using it alot lately but I've been noticing some issues. The ratcheting feels like it's starting to seize. Very hard turn by hand. Actually impossible to do without a socket attached. It becomes loose fairly easy in...

    Snap-on ran a credit line on a $100 ratchet? Is that the normal compared to matco/mac

    I've dealt with mac matco snap on and sk trucks. Never once did I ever have to give anything except a name and phone number... paid with cash credit card or even fronted me the tool on word I'd pay next I see him which wasn't even a guarantee of when that could be.

    Czerweny belt sander. Wiring question

    Can't find anything on this brand. Made in Argentina. The guy says it's 220v. Tag on motor says 115/230. He isn't sure how it should be plugged in. It has a normal 110 plug without a ground. He says it pulls alot of current at start up. Runs slow at start up on 110 said he had it on a 220...

    Re shaping body hammers

    Thanks. I put a little bit larger crown on the round face since all my others are shallow. That little hand held Rigid belt sander did get quite hot at times. Had to give it multiple breaks

    Vintage matco tool box

    I wouldn't mind the inconvenient locking mechanism, if the bottom Drawer would stay open a hair, problem is its too heavy being a socket drawer so it doesn't spring back open a bit. I may bend the bottom drawer tabs to avoid the locking bars (if slightly is all that is needed need to play...
