what's the student discount? how does the final pricing compare to other brands? still double the price? Guy I work with, his son is going to tech school. Discount is right at 60%. My advice was don’t get F’n stupid, but buy as many hand tools as he can afford without going in debt, and know...

No mention of Stihl’s wet/dry vac. Particularly their commercial model SE 122 Any info or recommendations

Apparently not! WTF made you reply on a 10 year old post……. just wondering

I’m hoping that you will be happy with your choice. Reading your posts it seems like you have many more years ahead wrenching. I would have ponied up for the Snap on. Are the Snap on expensive? F’n “A”! But you would have been done. Which you already know. The fit & warranty issues would be...

Nice what year is that? Has different wheels

“I think these will work great for large clamps on 3-4" diameter intake pipes. Not for cooling systems.” Like any tool they’re not perfect for every application. Kinda wonky and take a little time to get used to. Definitely limited in tight places, but great leverage and holding capability on...

I’m a big fan of SO sockets & tools. I couldn’t afford them for years & mainly used CM. Some Proto. I’ve split numerous CM and a few Proto over the years.(working professionally) NEVER a SO. I have also have CM open end wrenches spread. NEVER a SO. Also, I have taken off rounded nuts with SO...

Yeah, Launch. Not Autel Thanks

I don’t wrench on cars for a living so I couldn’t justify buying a Snap on scanner. However, if I could afford it that’d be what I would buy. I previously had the Matco MaxMe, and had to upgrade to the MaxFlex(newer model). both are bidirectional The subscription & updates were the deciding...

I don’t understand what’s not to understand with the OP? It was a pretty straightforward post. I thought….. MAC guy helping unload the Snap on box even though he’s pissed shows he must be a pretty stand up guy I could do business with a guy like that…

In my personal experience. Regardless of brand or actually being water pump pliers or actual slip joint pliers they’re all interchangeable. Living in different places & the Military the most common term I hear is Channel Locks(regardless of brand) In Oklahoma they’re commonly referred to as...

I bought the Milwaukee under hood light a few years back. Love it. I’m not saying that it’s the best, but I’m very satisfied with its performance. It’s one of the tools I regret not buying sooner. I bought the base tool already having other Milwaukee batteries and chargers. I’m happy with and...

Lowes & HD use to have them (pull chain switch) by their ceiling fan accessories.

I had the same dilemma and questions for my shop. I ended up having a tankless 7 gpm Reem installed. My thinking was I should never run out of hot water. Bathroom with a sink (no shower), and a utility sink. If you’re cleaning something with hot water, you can go through 20 gallons fairly...

"It looks like with a push of a button, the end that unlocks cowling fasteners rotates around providing you with a choice of two different slotted ends, which slotted end do you normally use more often?" Correct. Normally used the half moon end. The half moon end fit the cowling Dzus...

Here’s my DUZ flight wrench. We called the other a “Snoopy Tool” for obvious reason.

“I'm estimating the age to be prior to 1967 because NAA (North American Aviation) was acquired by Rockwell in 1967 and became North American Rockwell.” I have one very similar I used in mid ‘80’s. U.S. Army Aviation. (doesn’t have the NAA stamp)

DC-10 MD-11 two different planes

We used a dial indicator T/W for this. mid 80’s
