    Worth rebuilding Snap-On FAR72B?

    wow! that is very generous of you, I would be more than happy to cover shipping. I believe all I need is the drive, other than that it worked. I got this from a mechanic/friend for free, but then he broke my craftsman one that I loaned him for the week until his Matco guy came so I've been...

    Worth rebuilding Snap-On FAR72B?

    Here it is: It worked fine, but the drive broke. I can't find the replacement part listed on the site, anyone know how to go about repairing it? Any other ratchets that would use the same part? Or should I just forget it? Thanks for any help!

    signs, banners, and die cuts for a new shop?

    I see garageart, but I'm looking for more just generic "exhaust" and "brakes" signs. And just plain white manufacturers logos for the windows. This is an actual business, not a personal garage that's being decorated. Did I miss one? I didn't see anyone else that had signs

    signs, banners, and die cuts for a new shop?

    A good friend of mine is moving into a new shop. He would like to find some nice die cut logos to apply to the glass (BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Infiniti...etc) along with some generic service signs and banners. I tried poking around on google but everything I found was just "create your own" type...

    Any Mercedes techs

    yeah I believe the GM tool for rear mains is even pricier, crazy. I replaced my ls1 rear main without the tool and it sealed fine. I don't know anything about those cars but is the seal meant to be installed dry or with a thin coat of oil on them? sounds like the gap is more of the issue here...

    Anybody wrench professionally with Gearwrench hardline tools?

    At the shop we have gearwrench XL gearbox wrenches and 1/4" swivel sockets and they hold up great. Honestly we have a mix of 70% Matco and 30% Gearwrench and for the first few weeks I thought it was all Matco.

    4 pc Gearwrench Flexhead ratchet set (with video)

    I have the same set. I pretty much bought it just for the 1/2" and 1/4" ratchets. I love them. I started working at a shop using a matco 1/4" flex head and 1/2" long handle and they made things so much easier I had to upgrade from my craftsman raised panel ratchets after three years...

    my first garage sale haul thread! should I grab more?

    Here's what I grabbed, $20 for everything. I only grabbed what I knew I would use: It's my neighbor's garage sale. He was a stone mason and is now in a care facility, so his wife is clearing out the 3 garages and 2 sheds. He was definitely a collector. There's probably 3 boxes of...

    just made my haul from sears, random 1/4 and 3/8 flex sockets were marked down and a handful of flare nut wrenches!! I got 27 sockets in total and 7 flare wrenches for $42 hahah I think I got a 14mm by me for .97, not sure if it was the 1/4 or 3/8. I wish the 10/13/15 were marked down but oh well

    So, what do you use 1/4" drive universal sockets for?

    at the shop I use 1/4" swivels on a daily basis. thermostats, sensors, interiors, emissions **** that's tucked up above the rear suspension and tank, all kinds of engine covers and inner fender plastics with a 2 foot extension so I don't have to bend over or reach at all, etc I use them with a...

    Snap-On SL710

    I just got one of those ratchets for free from a friend, mine looks like the back used to be red but it's so well used you can't see anything. Pretty impressive after 40+ years all it needed was a new reverse lever for $0.79

    Year old Craftsman socket set rusting

    mine are all fine after 3 years (maybe a few specs on the bottom inside) of working outside, sometimes in light rain, and stored in a humid basement with no climate control or anything. most of them have been dropped in oil at one point or another though.
