Need to heat shrink **** connectors/crimps mobile, no wall outlet. Tried a lighter doing a wiring project, and regular butane torch. And MAPP gas. Nothing worked well. So I remembered. Co-worker's go-to was a Snap-On rebranded Butane power probe soldering iron, using the heat shrink...

Used a handful of times To my knowledge, this is one of the best if not the best kits on the market right now. latest version, likely forged, German, piano wire insert tips both for precision, and to keep the snap ring on without flying across the room never to be found again I would not be...

Went from working at a shop that had every sleeve ever, to one that has basically none. First shop, had probably a whole wall of them hanging. Next place isn't very big on spending money on necessary tools. That being said, am looking to get my own to solve that. Sleeves have all kinds of uses...

So here's what I have. The Harbor Freight $7 one. Years old. Used to have a different one that was better; I forget the brand. Do these ****? I use it a lot to solder heat shrink ****/crimp connectors, and for one, it's not nice having a straight nozzle, without tips. You have to worry...

This is the 3rd time I've needed sockets and/or wrench. 10mm to remove taillights (change bulb), 14mm to remove a light, and whatever else to tighten a bolt that came loose (ended up using multi-tool as the inside of the bolt is also philips) It always happens when I'm not near my tools. Which...

What's a good soldering iron? Was looking at the Milwaukee M12 but it has a 2.2/5 star rating with a lot of bad reviews The cordless aspect of it looked really convenient, rather than being tethered to a cord, becoming unplugged, etc.

Arcan 3-ton all aluminum jack, weighs 5lb less than their hybrid steel/aluminum and design looks cooler A20018 Used to have one. Never used it. Sold it for a little cheaper. Years later now I need one. Ordered it off Amazon and they mailed the wrong one. Great, money held hostage until they...

Needed snap ring pliers for years now occasionally. I should probably get it. That being said, what do you all think is the current best? In the past, I'd say Knipex. I have certain Knipex tools and it was a clear easy choice, when their competition alternatives are usually much shittier...

Decided on picking up a MigMax 215 the other day Anyone know what else is needed to get started using it? I also got their welding cart to hold it, I'm guessing besides that it would be -mask -argon cylinder -gloves -grinder bits (already have grinder) really not sure if that's it, or if...

Am looking at a few models to get started doing welding projects off road truck stuff which means it probably has to be something with more amps and volts. 220v. Maybe 3/8 and 1/4" steel This has introduced me to a few models I hear are good, and have been considering -Harbor Freight MigMax...

How do you pick a grinder to use for welding prep? (1/4" steel) Cordless seems better to not run out of battery but as for which model, brand, etc. I'm not sure I'm guessing 4.5/5" is ideal to still be manueverable

A shop I worked at provided a Black & Decker vacuum they claimed was $40 at Bed Bath and Beyond and returnable to swap for new if it quickly broke. After using, it had a home in it's charger, standing vertically. The thing was strong. Strong enough to **** brake dust off of dirty wheels before...

You all seen this new RBRT? Is it the king of them all now? I believe the king up until this point was Snap-On Heavy Duty (gold colored) because it was strong, lasted a while, fit tightly, and tends not to strip things but this new Mac RBRT seems to be claiming to be better/now the best of...

wtb good condition used or new metric set 10-19mm SOEXM710 for around $200 would prefer with plastic holder case Seen them sell around that price many times here before please PM if you have one!

CV boots go bad every 100k miles on a car. And on many (at least Audi/VW), rebuilding them requires a pair of snap-ring pliers to take the joint off. At the end, the joint is slid/pressed onto the spline shaft, and then retained with a snap ring. Does anyone know a good pair of snap ring...

I'm looking at buying a pressure tester and vacuum filler, for automotive use the pressure tester is to pressurize the system maybe up to around 20psi with a hand pump, as you may know to help find leaks and vacuum filler, using shop air to quickly refill a cooling system with coolant after...

A friend of mine had a very strong magnetic metal rail to store extensions, probably rare earth neodymium. I think it may have even been expensive and purchased from Snap On. Does anyone know anything about these? I'm having trouble finding one to buy. It seems like the best way to organize...

Not sure if this is the right subforum. Tried searching and am still reading threads. What is the best 1/2 impact? Mainly for wheel removal, but it doesn't hurt to be capable of doing more. I can always buy more different impacts for other purposes. Both air and electric, such as stubby ones...
