My boss has some cornwell 12pt metric shallow sockets 3/8 drive that are about 15 years old or so and almost all of them have some chrome peeling off. These sockets have only seen very occasional hand use and have never been on an impact. I borrowed one once and it broke with only moderate...

I own a Solus Pro and can't say enough good things about it. The only real downside to it is the cost of updates, but what can you do? The shop has a modis and I use it when I need the lab scope. The way you can set it up and use all 4 channels is awsome. For instance looking at crank, cam...

Same here, they're great for those hard to reach itches! :lol_hitti

I have a FAR7200 and I'm very happy with it so far, I've used a 72c and liked it as well. I just liked the soft grip on the 7200 more so I bought it instead. I also considered the matco Pitbull but when my dealer got one and I checked it out I noticed it said Taiwan right on it...

At my shop dykes are called "happy people", my mg725 is called big mama, and a Snapon flank drive plus wrench is referd to as a "spanner with notches" A guy I work with nicknamed "Tuba" (use your imagination) calls any type of hose a "**** tube" his extentions are "extender buttons" and his old...

I've got those, they're nice if you do a lot of interior trim work but I wouldn't buy them to scrape head gaskets with... I've used a few other brands of trim tools and like these the best, as they seem more robust.

You'll be happy with the IR impact, for the money ther're a very good tool. I also agree with 00s4boy save the money on wyotech and go try to get a entry level job at a shop. I have a few friends that went to wyotech and they would have been much better off investing their money in tools and...

I've pulled a lot of lug nuts off with my mg31 and mg325. These little guns have plenty of power for use in a tireshop or brakeshop, and they seem to hold up really well. The 1/2" version may even hold up better since it has a more robust anvil. All I can say is if what I'm working on isn't a...

Merk's right, I brought up the coo subject with my snap on guy and he called some "higher ups" on speaker phone while I was on the truck (they had no idea that there was a customer listening to the conversation). The truth is that for the time being the products in question are STILL MADE HERE...

I had a set of matco long metric combo wrenches for years. They were good but I like that snap on wrenches have a slightly narrower open end, I also like the way that the boxed end is a little thicker than the beam on the SO wrenches. It makes it a little easier to get a bite on recessed...

By the way in tiny letters on the box it says "made in usa" could just be the box though lol.

If you think that the new snapon air tools are junk that's fine, they're not. If you think they are a copy of someone else's design you need to see an optometrist, they're not. The point of this thread is Snap-on used to not only take pride in being usa made, but it was also a huge selling...

For those of you who don't know the first two digits of the serial number on snapon air tools denotes the year of manufacture. What are the first two numbers of the the serial number? I'm betting 09. My new gun starts with 10 which leads me to believe that the grip change started at the...

I guess our wallets can speak louder than our words, and I may have to start keeping mine shut.

I really don't think it was outsourced (yet anyway), however I do think that snap-on is trying to expand their market to areas that arn't usa friendly. My problem with that is, Snap on is a US company that grew selling US products to US customers. The **** asian tools (and even the good ones)...

Hey everyone, I've been reading this forum for a while now and decided that I'd post something. Anyway, I've been a tech for about a decade now and I've bought a lot of tools (mostly snap-on, as I can't stomach spending the same kind of money with other brand trucks for rebranded tools)...
