I have 1/2" drive deep impact sets in standard and metric by Ingersoll-Rand. They are excellent.

Neat! No idea though! Googling around it seems like Kewannee Private Utilities made air, water, oil, etc. They had a particular self-lubricating sealed pump according to this page here, around WWII. Perhaps you have the gear portion there, which would be filled with gear oil, and the pump...

Yes, I'm aware. My point was to try and find other research along similar lines. People in this thread have questioned the methodology of using a pressed pin to represent real-world bolted applications. The Drexel U study used corroded bolts and nuts in their tests. Furthermore, they...

I was googling around looking for some other tests on this issue and ran across this write up done by a group of engineering students at Drexel University: Overview Report in PDF 1 nM is approximately .74 flb. Their tests focus on WD-40 vs. different concentrations of Acetone/ATF and...

+1 mech-tech. Giving notice is a gesture of respect. Respect is earned. I'd say this particular employer has not earned your respect.

You'll need to use big wedge anchors, or better yet, j-bolts, to mount the winch down - which means you need a beefy footing to put them into. A standard 4" (or less) concrete slab probably won't cut it. You might just pull up a huge chunk of your floor and have a run-away vehicle to boot...

Great question. Here is their warranty/info page. It gives a brief history of their US manufacturing bona fides and states their manufacturing facility is located in Massachusetts. I didn't see anything stating that all tools are 100% US made though. Their warranty looks like the standard...

Mayhew makes a very similar (identical except for handle?) set. Mayhew #60028. Here's one place to get them: http://www.tooloutfitters.com/4-piece-o-ring-removal-tool-set.html At $16, that means Snap On is charging $28 for the red "S" on the handle.

There's an important attribute for breaker bars that I haven't seen mentioned yet - stiffness. A breaker bar isn't much good if all your torque is robbed by flex in the bar. I bought the harbor freight breaker bar after reading rave reviews here, and it falls down hard on this criteria. I...

Big fan of powder actuated, used a hilti with clips for years. For what you're doing though I'd go with the tapcons. They are going to take longer and probably cost a little more, but you can always take them out to move a wall over 1/2" if you accidentally put the plate down in the wrong...

You're a lucky man to have a treasure like that. Use them well.

At first glance, I thought it was a snap-on branded cheater bar! Now that would be cool.

Re: Anybody still supporting craftsman To all those that are just sure the younger generations are useless, lazy, and degenerate, don't forget that that is exactly what your parents thought of you. Were they right?:dunno: I'm sure there would be a lot of offence taken if I were to assert...

Source? Snap-on does not own Wright Tool.

I agree. I am in my 30's and I would never return a tool I broke due to abuse or carelessness. Same as stealing in my book. Buying a new one is the price you pay for not taking care of your tools.:thumbup:

I have some snap-on impact sockets and they are excellent. The wrenches? Not for me. The thin beams were a deal breaker, very uncomfortable. I have full sets of Wright w/ Wright Grip and I haven't regretted it. They have a thick, rounded beam that just feels great. Different strokes.

Yeah, that's not what the toolbox of a 40 year mechanic looks like.

Truer words were never spoken.

Here is the Mcmaster page for their kits. They all come with the proper drill bit and insertion tool.

Man, that's a ripoff! I'll give you $100 for the set.:lol_hitti Seriously, nice score! Bonney is increasingly hard to come by.
