    Tell me about the Snap-on Student program

    I enjoy the discount I get through Matco tools for being an educator in a community college tech ed program. I teach a few machining classes in the evenings aside from my 'real' job, enjoy the heck out of it, and get a really good discount on some of the tools I use to boot. Can't beat helping...

    Any Updates on the Craftsman Premium Ratchets?

    Craftsman literature says they are 84 teeth, which makes sense... How do you make an 84.5 tooth ratchet? :wtf:

    Who says Craftsman isn't made in USA anymore

    I used the term 'pro' since this is what Sears calls them, and was merely to distinguish which wrenches I was refering to. My guess is the polish definitely added to the popularity, as well as a more ergonomic design (thinner) and a longer pattern. Yep, they are not a $325 set of Flank Drive...

    Who says Craftsman isn't made in USA anymore

    I think my biggest frustration will come when it's time to warranty some of my pro polished wrenches, screw drivers, flare wrenches etc. I paid a premium, albiet not tool truck prices, for a nice set of matching, quality tools. Perhaps if I break one, the whole set will be returned since...

    Older SO ratchets, Craftsman Sockets

    Long time lurker, so please don't judge me by my low post count. I have a few 'extras' from the toolbox I'd like to pass on to someone whom will use them. First are two older Snap On ratchets. Both are 1/2" drive, first one is a 71M, second is a GS71. The 71M has '990' engraved on it, the...

    8 mm socket vs. 5/16" socket

    8mm = 0.3149" 5/16= 0.3125" So the 8mm will be a bit large on the 5/16" fastener, the 5/16" may be a bit small on the 8mm. With mfg tolerances for the fasteners, you can probably use either socket on either bolt. www.joshmadison.com has a very cool conveter program you can download for pretty...
