I just got a call from a carpenter friend of mine. He just noticed that his air compressor is leaking oil at the intake filter. I have not been out to look at it, and I can't make it until the morning and he is/was planing on spraying a lot tomorrow. What could be causing this? perhaps the...

One of the local Snap-on dealers has opened a retail store in Sarasota FL. He has four routes/trucks in the area. I was not able to go to the opening on Saturday due to work but my dad went. The store will be open every Saturday 9am-1pm. For anyone familiar with the area, the store is off of...

So I see this come up from time to time so I figured I would post some pics of some Snap-on tools and Williams tools for anyone interested. I have no issue with Williams but I am not a professional and I do not rely on these tools everyday, nor do I see a Snap on truck every week. First up is...

Was going to put this in the Garage sale thread but I have a lot of pics. I went with my girlfriend and her parents this morning. Sale started at 8 but we got their at 5:45 and were 3rd on the list. The estate belonged to a former shop class teacher, and looked like an Ace Hardware inside! I...

While reading in the Hot Tools page I noticed the 1/4 inch extension set for 14.99 from a guy on eBay. While looking through his store (lots of SO but no real sets of any kind) I noticed some oddities. Look at this 3/8 drive swivel...

Hello, I just bought a Hobart Mig 190 and I am in the market for a good welding helmet. My budget is $150. The only welding helmet experience I have is a cheap Lincoln mask that sucked and a speedglas that I used once but it out of my price range. I have done some research and the Miller...

Used Snap on Craigslist advice needed Update - Bought! I am going to go look at these tools today http://orlando.craigslist.org/tls/2968991513.html I was going to offer the guy 500 for the lot, without the lower roll box. Seem fair? He also has this ad, which is newer, offering the impact at...

I was going to put this in the hot deal section but it seems odd to me. I have never bought anything from Overstock.com. I found this when looking for other impact sockets online. I am not trying to steer anyone wrong here. Seems like a scam/gray market/fake to me, I don't know. :dunno...

Hello! My name is Justin and I'm from Florida. I am in my early 20's and finishing up college. I have been a tool and car guy since I was a toddler, I even had my own workbench at my preschool! My dad is professional mechanic since the early 80's and I have been learning from him my whole life...

Did a search but couldn't find if this has been covered. For me it's my Snap-on FX936, 3/8 drive flexible locking long handled ratchet. I absolutely love this tool, the locking feature is amazing. Too me, there is nothing worse than fighting a loose flexible ratchet in a tight spot under a car...

I currently have six stubby screwdrivers acquired through various kits sitting in my toolbox. I have never used one, not a single time. Is there some hidden use for these? Or do they simply make a 4 piece screwdriver set a 6 piece screwdriver set.
