I think you'd have a hell of a lot more fun in an ls powered LJ LMAO

Someone? Yes. HF? No. We replace our HF shop impact gun every spring. The more components, specifically moving parts (or substitute electrical connections) a hf tool has, the more opportunities there are for them to F it up. HF impact sockets? Sweet. HF prybars are great for the money. Chrome...

Sears is out of business buddy. And owning craftsman and HF boxes, I can tell you, Snap-ons blow them out of the water if you use them every day. Home owner? Part time mechs like me? GTFOH. But when you open and close the drawers a hundred times a day and cycle the locks 4+ times a day, a krl...

IMO that's just not smart. Snap on at 40% off is probably the best deal ever. There's no questioning that truck tools are equal to or better store/alibaba tools in almost everything. And snap on is the top truck tool in almost every case. At 40% off you're really closing in on non-truck...

You guys are no fun sometimes! Five or ten years ago I would have been bummed out with clothes, now it's most of my list. Kind of hard to ask for "everything under 35 dollars that comes up when you search 'snapon 3/8' on ebay" Chamois/Flannel shirts are alway appreciated. That's all I wear...

My head mechanic has flat soled redwings he loves, just throwing that out there. I believe thorogood (sp?) also makes boots with flat soles. (Flat soles as in no defined heel, it's higher in the back like pretty much every footwear that isn't a slipper or sandal.) Ever since I switched from...

I third the tow truck idea. A lot of tow companies move equipment and other odd stuff between the tows. I'm sure any company that does hauling has dealt with something similar if not actually moved shop equipment like you're talking about. I've seen more than a couple very large toolbox setups...

I'm a part time "shop helper" (Apprentice has a certain connotation, I have two small toolboxes stuffed with tools and a few days a week I do entry level mechanics tasks, but I've done some major work on my own engine) and I'd love more mid level american made tools. I hate buying HF or the like...

Came in about an hour ago. Been playing with it since. Got it used for a song from a local dealership. Got the flashdrive with the updater but no charging cord :wtf:

Jealous! One of my next tool purchases for sure, could have used it 20 times yesterday alone.

My shop is at the point where we need a scantool, a code reader isn't cutting it anymore. We service nearly 40 vehicles and a handful of large pieces of equipment, and we think we'd significantly speed up our diagnosis and reduce waste (ie throwing parts at a problem) with a high quality...

Regular old acetate handle stanley. It's a flathead, it's a phillips, it's a prybar, a paint can opener, a chisel, a scraper, a pick, a...

I will say I like how I have one charger for multiple lights and I can share with people. There's probably 5 or six lights bumping around with the same micro usb charger. semi related: I hate thieves. Didn't want to leave the light out at first but eventually the other guys convinced me it...

Oh I’m going to have to call my guy, I want those pliers, was waiting for a deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think a “good/better/best brands” thread would go over well here (a “Same tools 1/2 price” vs “chinese pot metal factory rejects!” battle would break out by post 3) but it would be nice to have a sticky of USA made tools. Most of my exposure has been with snappy, matco, or hf and I’m...

What’s the advantage to having 1/2 on one end and 3/8 on the other? Is that an impact extension? Only reason I could think of. I need some 3/8 impact extensions. Beat the chrome off a hf extension removing one bolt that came out pretty easily.

Semi related question: How are vise handles originally installed? I assume forged in place, somehow?

Is it along the joints or are the actual blocks themselves cracked? If you're worried there are places that spray foundations. Line X (the bedliner) is popular around me, the foundations are literally bombproof after.

Yeah he's got a few of those in various sizes. Pretty psyched about some of the stuff he found in the box. A lot to pick through and sort out what's decent but already he's found some cool stuff.

Hollow, you can pump grease through it. Yeah but it has a grease fitting and you can pump grease through it. It’s full of it right now. Thanks guys for the help. Pretty cool to know! I’ll pass the info along to the owner, he’ll be happy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
