    SnapOn KR560 restoration???

    I have done a little research on this site, and found that the MAJOR difference between a Snap On KR560 and a KR660 is friction slides on the 560 and Bearing slides on the 660. If that is incorrect, someone please let me know. My next question is Can I replace the friction slides with bearing...

    Ball Peen & Deadblow hammer questiosn

    At work, they bought us Stanley dead blow Ball ***** and dead blow Soft Face hammers. They are great, I've used them for years. I figured I would buy a set for home and when I finally tracked down my local dealer, they were MORE than the Snap-On equivelant. So I bought SO. And I love them! Munsk.

    White Tool Boxes

    There is a guy that has a white SO box at a dealership near my shop. In the summer, when the bay doors are open, you can see it from the street. It looks awesome!!! I have always wanted an orange SO box, but the white SO boxes are making me have second thoughts. I think the white would be easier...

    Is there such a thing as a good oil filter wrench?

    Sorry, I didn't read the part about unreachable with a strap type wrench until after I had posted. I have not encountered an oil filter that I couldn't get this on... yet. Possibly due to its small head profile. I used to use the socket type until Fram added the grip material on their...

    Is there such a thing as a good oil filter wrench?

    You can usually get them at supply stores, like Big R. I got mine at Fleet Supply in Great Falls. The one time i had trouble with it, I just cleaned the filter with simple green and it worked perfectly. Good luck. Munsk.

    Is there such a thing as a good oil filter wrench?

    Yes... Its called "Round Wrench." I have only had problems one time and it was a oil filter that was very dirty and oily. I use it on large Diesel oil filters and small engine oil filters. I use it on modern sedan oil filters... EVERYTHING. They come in 2 sizes and cost less than 20 bucks...

    Anybody else hate that all Snap On tools are going to soft handles?

    YESSS!!!! Soft grip have their place, but for my # 1, "Go-To," everyday use handles... I prefer hard handle screwdriver and Chrome ratchets!!!! Munsk.

    Catching **** for cleaning tools...

    Keep you tools neat, clean, and organized. You will be faster and your orders will leave the bay looking good. When the guys try to give me **** over something like that, I laugh (even if it is just in my own head), knowing that I have a sense of pride in my work. Keep it clean. Munsk.

    Road Tools

    So my Dad has this tool box that he has had for eons. He takes it on every trip that we are using the trailer, or camper, or going to get an old rig, or anything like that. It is full of tools that he hasn't replaced in over 40 years. And if you don't put them back in THE EXACT SAME WAY THEY...

    VISE placement. How close to edge of bench?

    Quick question on set up... My Columbian has 3 mounting holes. Do I mount it with the two at the front and one on the rear left? So that would be two holes on the left side (Front & Rear) and one on the right (Front only). That would seem logcal to me, so that when I was tightening something, I...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Not a lot of prep work. My powder coater chooses to do most of the prep, in order to make sure there isn't any grease remaining. The grey is a zinc epoxy (not actual powder coating) it has already shown some signs of scratching, but I don't care... Its a vise. The orange is PC, it should wear...

    Sorting Wrenches

    I used paint pens for our shop. Each box/bay has a diff color. You can color the tool brand name in with the paint pen, and it doesn't wear off very easy. Then you can spray paint all other items that go to that box/bay. IE: Buckets, step stools, wheel chocks, dust pans, brooms... Things like...

    Best snap on tool?
