I like mine. I have the Matco ones. I wish they were a little longer. I did not like the non-reversible ones. I worked on Class 8 trucks at work and cars at home.

When I went to get the parts to rebuild a stuck Caliper on the wife's mini-van the parts had to be ordered and would have been $15 more than the rebuilt one they had on the shelf. I've worked as a diesel mechanic for 25+ years now we just replace parts not rebuild them. Toss it out and get new...

I have the Matco 1/2 electric impact. and love it . its 20v

i can have mine plugged in and working. it is the newer yellow one.

No. I am a diesel mechanic. I have been in the industry for 25+ years. I now am a Technician trainer. I travel around the country and train our techs. My tools and box are now home. I work on some side projects but don't plan on getting ride of any of my tools or box. Just replace the missing...

I work on Class 8 Diesel trucks I have had several Matco ADV 3/8 sets I bought during BOGO deals I have never had a issue with them. I could have gotten another brand maybe cheaper (not sure because BOGO) but I have had a business relationship with my Matco dealer for 20 years so I get decent...

look for a part# on it then google it.

Well just buy 12 pt sockets and not 6 point. Unless something is very rusty you shouldn't have a issue rounding off fasteners.

They make 8 point sockets for square plugs. I have some craftsman and Snap On ones https://shop.snapon.com/categories/674912

Well I had a red and black one for over 20 years so when I got a new one I wanted something different . I bought Storm Grey and love it.

All my sockets are on Rails and clip type holders standing up in one drawer it is easy to switch if necessary and that includes when you need to switch to swivel sockets. I am a diesel tech though and really after doing it for over 25 years you no longer look at the size on the socket or the...

My brother-in-law was a electrician at the steel mill(retired). He works on his cars and has 2 hobby cars (a Jag and a 74 vette) for about 10 years a Snap-on truck stopped once a month at his house. If they are going to make money and its on their route they might stop. The "free stuff" is up to...

buy a used Fluke 117 from Ebay that will last you forever. You could get a used Extech cheap. here was a quick Ebay search. I used a Extech near daily fo 15 years no issue. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-Fluke-117-True-RMS-Multimeter-with-Leads/254361885381?hash=item3b39265ac5:g:QpkAAOSwfZRdgDI6...

Some guys say a box is just to hold tools and don't make money so buy cheap. its good advice. But my opinion is if you work as a Tech you spend half of your life at work buy something you enjoy whatever it is.

Also you never pay the Retail price for a Snap-On there is always some kind of discount. when I bought my KRL,Hutch, side box I paid less then half list price for it and got a Free bedliner top, and premium Red expandable cover. Plus he threw in some shirts, hoodie for me and the wife and a...

The thing is I have never paid full price for a tool from my dealer its always cheaper on the truck. My box on the website shows a cost of $16,865.00. I paid less then half that and then they gave $3000 for my 22 year old beat up Mac 1850 Macsimizer 2 bay bottom box. I am a good customer but I...

Great job on the wrap. That thing look awesome.

It is from Snap On. delays either sell these or give them to you when you buy something. there all all kids of Promos they use.

It looks like its going to take a lot of cuss words and holding your tongue just right it get it out :yikes:
