I am wanting to put together a basic welding setup at my house to build a winch mount and spare tire carrier for my off-road rig. I notice Hobart builds the AirForce 12ci that has a built in air compressor so I don’t have to buy a stand alone compressor. This is great for me because I have no...

Ok Experts, I’m restoring an old Rover that has rusted floorpans, I’ve never delt with rust before as I’m in Florida. My goal on the floorpans is just to get them cleaned to bear metal, patch the holes and get them painted with a primer then couple coats of paint. What is the best way to get...

This is going too be a multi-year running project but the end goal is to open up an independent Import service center offering dealer quality service for less cost and with the much forgotten these days, friendly service. Imagine a pressed and shined independent repair center offering loaner...

I can not for the life of me remember what the brand is that Mac is selling Facom tools under off the truck? Anyone remember? Starting a tool collection for my son and I want to get him some reasonably priced Euro tools.

We moved into our new home in November and last night I finally got to start working on my little workshop. Now don't laugh, most of you have a shop bigger than my entire house :scared: but I am going to make the best of the space. I have to share one corner of the shed with my wife (washer and...

For Christmas I would like to get my wife's grandfather some IH tools to go with his old IH tractor. If you have any to sell please let me know! I would really like to get him a complete wrench set if at all possible.

After moving all over God's green earth I finally rented myself a workshop. It's in a very relaxed storage place that is still secure and is kept up for the most part (not pretty but no leaks). It's a 10x20 unit with 2 garage doors connected to a 10x10 unit with 1 garage door. I am using the...

I am down to 2 scan tools. The Launch GDS and Snappy Solous Ultra. I am currently using the Snap On and I like it. It does lack a lot of functions I would expect for the price especially on Domestic cars. Plus $1250 a year for updates is a little high. The Launch is $600 a year for updates...

I am trying to decide which scan tool to buy. I do a good bit of used cars and do Euro side work. I have come down to two different tools unless someone else has something for me. First is the new Snap On Ethos Plus, it read SRS, ABSN TPMS and such but has no by-laterial test functions. With...

I need a good set of R134a gauges for work, I'm getting a ton of A/C work and the A/C machines we have are not very accurate. Both Matco and Snap On have alloy set right around the same price point. Which would you choose? Any first hand expirence? Thanks!

Let me first say I LOVE my SO sockets and ratchets, I have always thought they were worth every penny. But I'm needing to pick up some 1/2 sockets, extensions, a ratchet and universai joint. What I need from SO will run about $600 total, if I go with GW its $126. Is their really that big of...

Of the many lies that various reps from Snap On have told me over the years one of them was ALL SO tolls are USA made. I could understand Japan, Korea, EU or Canada but China? Probably made in Harbor Freights factory............ Any thoughts?

Let me first say I have nothing against Craftsman tools, I learned to wrench with them and my first tools were Craftsman. I believe the older Craftsman tools are almost on par with truck tools in some areas. i don't want this to turn into a who is better war. Back to the original subject, if...

Thursday I purchased a new KRA2411 through my school on SEP, one of my deciding factors for buying the SO box over Matco was the trade-in certificate. Today I finally sat down to file away the paperwork from my purchased and noticed the fun little paragraph that makes this useless to people like...

Since my fist automotive job I've always wanted a shiny Snap On box. So this isn't a debate if I should buy a SO box or not its a questions of what size. First box I am considering is a KRA2411PES. I am worried about its shear size and also worried about if I am the "new guy" coming into a...

Those of you earning a living in the shop do you consider a o-scope a worthwhile investment? At my school they preach o-scope but I was wondering if you really use it in the field enough to justifies spending several thousand dollars. If so would you go with the Fluke 190 or a computer based...
