Has anybody tried any of those tricks to color in the size markings on their sockets? One I saw had you use an oil based Sharpie marker, then razor blade off the excess. I have a vintage, older model Mark One eyeball and it needs an upgrade. I -should- be able to tell a 15mm from a 14mm in...

Comparing the Ko-ken 2725Z & SnapOn T936 1-4" ratchets... I don't own any Dual 80 (72) SnapOn to compare with, but after looking at the Ko-ken, I may buy those for 1/4" instead. Overall, the Ko-ken is much smaller and lighter than the T936 Snappy. Head Thickness: Ko-ken 10 mm (vs. 14 mm for...

Is their a model number stamped or cast in anywhere? Mine just say 5 1/2 and Made in USA on the body with "5 1/2 Reversible Jaw" on the jaw.

besides being heavy - is it mainly how good the screw is?

guess what it's for :bowdown: guess what it's made of :rocker: and guess before reading the file name of the enlarged pic...

I don't suppose anybody knows how to repair the coil spring in a Lafer Reclining Chair - Gaga model? They sent a new spring for a floppy backrest on the crappy but expensive chair - too bad the instructions are unreadable.

I've got a wood door that is pretty exposed - it faces south and gets sun all summer, and gets blown rain during any storms or high winds (rains 6 months a year). It's a real nice clear Doug. Fir door so I hate to paint it. It had Sikkins on it when I bought it 15-20 years ago, but part of...

wished they'd gotten the 18v instead?

if you work on or own old German cars like VW, Porsche, and I think Benz, you ight have some HAPEWE pliers or wrenches not sure if they were in my old BMW 2002 or not I did dig up this: http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2017/04/vanished-tool-makers-hapewe-west-germany.html

pre-1970s can the date be dialed in any closer from the plate inside the top of this small socket box? Thanks!

This looks like a 1985 date code, but I read on here that the SL710 ratchets were only manf'd between 1967 to 1975. any ideas??

This can be scraped or sanded but solvents don't seem to work on it. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get rid of it (without damaging the chrome on the ratchet handle).

any thoughts on these? I'm getting a jones for the Facom R1.pico kit...:evil:

I found a ball bearing on my desk after opening up a bunch of ratchets for cleaning/re-greasing... Unfortunately I can't figure out what it goes to. It is too big to fit into my 3/8" Snapon Dual 80 (FX80A) - which already has its own ball bearing as I just checked. It is just a little too...

- there a wrench history thread and some others with historical info in them so why not a ratchet history thread? can somebody lay this out?

I have 2 older Snap-On ratchets I am trying to figure out. One is a TM75A and the other is a T936. TM75A has a nice small head for great access - 10mm thick and 21.7mm wide but it has a longer handle (date code is 1988 I think). T936 has a nice short handle, but the head is bigger 11.6mm...

Is there any way to figure out the difference between a SnapOn with an "A" at the end of the model number and one without? e.g. SHF80A vs. SHF80 Just an example - I'm trying to figure out used Snappy models in general to see what you really get with the "A" Thx

I need a new rubber tip for my Senco trim nailer. It's the little dinguson the end of the safety push down thing-a-mabob to activate the gun. Tape is too thin and won't stay on the tip. Any idea where I can get these things (without paying $20 for shipping...)? Thx

Anybody know when Snappy first came out with the Dual80 ratchets? I just got a used one and can tell I been missing out on something...

The SK discount thread got me started on a search but I was surprised I couldn't find a thread on this. I don't feel that backdrag is a big issue for larger fasteners (as compared with 1/4" drive ratchets and what they'd be used on), but what else? Swing angle? Smoothness?
