    Pressure Washers - Who Makes the Best Units for Aggressive, Frequent Home or Borderline Professional-Level Use?

    I also have been completely satisfied with my Honda powered Simpson purchased at Sam's club probably 10 years ago. It has even survived being loaned out to friends and family many times without issue. Priced around $400.

    Leatherman has great customer service in my experience. I have sent in worn and/or broken multi tools and received back a refreshed tool that was given a through cleaning, adjustment, and replacement of any broken/damaged items. Turn around time was quick and I think I only paid to ship the...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    Picked up this Snap On 377A (1962) recently at an estate sale. Looks to have had a relatively easy life with honest wear and tear but no real abuse. Almost all the drawers and the top have a liner made from some form of red colored Formica, all being very well fit/cut to the dimensions of the...

    Real world feedback on 6pt ratcheting wrenches?

    I have Capri ratcheting wrenches (lever reversible) that are 6 point on the box end. I haven't used them a whole lot but so far I haven't had any real problems placing the box end onto the fastener. A few times when clearance has been an issue I just rotate the ratcheting part a few clicks with...

    Ratcheting screwdrivers: yah or naw?

    Does/did Snap On make a hard handle version of the ratcheting screwdriver that has the interchangeable shafts like the pivoting handle version? I have seen the hard handle nut driver with interchangeable shafts but it is not ratcheting.

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Anyone recognize this little fella? Has "V 60" cast into the main body, an "X" and some numbers, possibly "5 3", are stamped on the wings of the mounting thumb screw. Looks like the swivel plate on the mounting screw has broken off. Kinda neat how the moving jaw is reversed and slides on the...

    Wondering if there is a rebuild kit for my Snap On F730A 3/8" ratchet that has a higher tooth count than the original, which I believe is somewhere between 30-36. Snap On lists the original rebuild kit as RKRAF730 which is available but will any other kits work and have a higher count? Thanks...
