    Question for CHADSTER1

    I recently picked up a Snap on 3/8" ratchet, model #F71C. I realize it's a early 1950's model, and the Snap on web site shows no parts available. You have helped me in the recent past with a part number for a kit to rebuild a F720 ratchet. Is there a kit still offered that will work in this...

    mac ratchet

    I picked up a 3/8 drive Mac ratchet at the flea market over the weekend. It is a model X7R. It works, but the gear is a little sloppy. I've looked at the Mac website and the catalog, and I can't find any listing for repair kits. Does Mac sell them like Snap on? How is Mac when it comes to...

    .....to the dark side. I'm 50 years old, I've been working on cars for almost 40 years. For most of that time, I always used Craftsman tools. I'm not a pro. the raised panel wrenches, ratchets. etc. always got the job done, I was happy. I found the Garage Journal and the corruption started...

    March 22 Craftsman Club question

    The flyer indicates that the open stock sockets and wrenches are 50% off. Does this include the open stock gearwrench, or only the Craftsman stuff?

    Some stuff from my dad

    I was over at my parent's house changing the oil in my dad's Buick, and he asked me if I wanted some stuff. My dad is 79 and my mom won't let him work on the cars anymore. Dad is a retired tool & die maker, but he used to take part-time jobs as a mechanic in gas stations back in the days when...
