    Torx and Hex Bit Sets in Foam Tray

    I am looking for a kit of Torx, E-Torx and Hex bits in a Foam Tray. It doesn't have to contain every size, just the "most common sizes" for day to day use. Mainly looking for something small and compact for my roll cart. Matco makes a kit, but even at the student price, it is a bit more than I...

    Snap-On Bedliner Top vs. Stainless Steel

    The older Bedliner tops were prone to peeling, but I have been told that the newest ones have the issue resolved. Supposedly the newer material is also a bit smoother? Curious what y’all think. The stainless steel is easier to clean, but Bedliner looks better.

    Your favorite Snap-On Tool Cart Colors

    I am considering a new tool cart and deciding on color is the toughest part. What color combos do y'all like? In no particular order, I am considering the following: Supersonic Blue w/black trim Storm Gray w/black trim Combat Green w/black trim (my wife's favorite) Cranberry w/black trim...

    KRL1056 vs. Tool Cart

    A new KRL1056 just showed up for sale on facebook marketplace. The price is decent, but is also what I would be spending on a new KRSC2430. What are your thoughts on going this route over a traditional tool cart?

    Fully Welded Service/Utility Carts - are they stronger?

    I am in the market for a service/utility cart. I am undecided between one with drawers and one without, but I have noticed that higher-end options are advertising a "fully welded construction." Are fully welded carts much more durable than ones that are bolted together? Examples...

    New Snap-On XFRRM705 Ratcheting Wrenches

    https://shop.snapon.com/product/XFRRM705 I believe these were launched in Q3 or Q4 of 2023 - and are the successor to the XFRM705. Based on the limited marketing info, I am under the impression that the XFRRM705 is built with stronger metals than its predecessor? Curious if someone has more...

    27" U.S. General Series 3 Roll Cab

    I am in the market for a small roll cart (or cab) for a 32.1" W spot in my garage. On paper, this checks all of the boxes. Curious if anyone has one; I haven't seen one on display. Was also looking at the new MAC UC2822DTF, Beta RSC24 and Hazet 177/7 - but I keep coming back to this HF option...

    Homak 35” Slide-Top Cart - Dimensions?

    I am in the market for a small, supplemental service cart and the available space in my garage is 32.1” wide. The listed dimensions of this cart vary by site: Homak’s site says 20.63 × 30.25 × 42 in, ASEDeals says 31-1/4" W x 20-5/8" D x 42" H. Can anyone confirm? I do not need the...

    Hazet 166C Assistent Tool Trolley

    Apparently, the 166C is a newer and larger version of the 166N. The 166C also appears to be better-built than the Beta C27 but the price is absolutely staggering. Does anyone own a 166C? I would be interested in seeing photos of your setup. I really like the size, portability and aftersales...

    Speedi-Bleed Pressure Brake Bleeders

    https://www.speedibleed.com/products/brake-bleeding-kit-pro/k900-honda-acura-brake-bleeder-kit.html Seems like a neat concept. The device uses a tire to keep the unit inflated, so no need for pumping or for a large air compressor. Adapter caps look decent as well. However, the air inside of a...

    Fender Lizard Brake Bleeder (Pedal Pusher)

    https://shoptoolreviews.com/automotive/shop-equipment/fender-lizard-brake-bleeder/37820/ $219 - but theoretically, you'll never have to call a friend/another tech/spouse to push the pedal again. Pretty neat idea, IMO, if it works.

    Koken Thinwall Impact Sockets - set?

    I recently noticed these thin-walled Koken Impact Sockets. Does anyone know if they are sold in a set? Their size profile does appeal to me - and may justify their price. For example, if you compare their 10mm's hex-end diameter to the Snap-On's chrome and impact options: Snap-On 3/8" deep...

    3/8" Deep Impact Sockets - Williams USA or other brands?

    I am in the market for a second set of 3/8" dr deep impact sockets. Amongst the Made in USA options, are Williams USA still the best value.....or are there better options nowadays?

    Coil Spring Compressors: OTC vs. Branick

    Does anyone have experience with the OTC 6637 or the Branick 7600? I want one for my house. The shop has a Branick 7400 so I am familiar with how those operate, and I have been generally happy with the adjustability of the Branick design. I am unfamiliar with the OTC's adjustment capabilities...

    1/2" dr split-beam torque wrench w/fine-tooth ratchet head

    I am in the market for a 1/2" dr split-beam torque wrench with a fine tooth ratchet head, preferably something with at least 72 teeth. I currently have a P.I. but it the coarse teeth ratchet mechanism isn't my favorite and it is due for a calibration. I would prefer to buy from a brand that...

    New 1/4” Snap-on Locking Wobble Extensions

    I believe these are new. Part #103TMXWKL As expected, the price is staggering. But the knurling does look substantial.

    New Carlyle Pressure Brake Bleeder

    Carlyle recently introduced a new pressure brake bleeder. This one is unique since the fluid resides in a bladder; this prevents contaminating the new brake fluid with any moisture in shop air. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SER9000...

    Cabinet Screwdrivers vs. ”Traditional”

    Let’s say you use your screwdrivers as intended, and only for lower torque applications…so having a hex on the shank is not a factor for me. Cabinet screwdrivers are obviously a bit more compact at the tip. To me that seems advantageous without a downside. So, is there any reason to still own...
