    My Snap-On FJ200 Does Not Work Below 30F

    I was trying to lift a friend's car to take a look but my FJ200 would not pump up under the load. The temperature in the garage was around 27F-29F. Is this normal? I had to use my Craftsman 2T jack. I am lost why FJ200 would not work when the temperature is below 30F? What are the reasons?

    How much are you willing to pay more for Snap On FJ300 over Daytona 3T SD Floor Jack?

    HF advertisement against Snap On 3T is very clear and convincing. I would not pay $600 for Snap On FJ300 when a similarly capable Daytona 3T is available for less than $200. The difference is $400 which is not a small chunk of change. With that said, if the difference was around $50 to...

    Why Do You Buy Tools (Sockets, Wrenches, Bits, Screwdrivers, Hex Sockets) In Sets?

    I have bought a number of tools in sets but more than 50% of sets are untouched. For example, I use five socket sizes (10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm and 19mm) out of 12 available sockets (a set from 8mm to 19mm) in 3/8" drive. Wrench utilization is similar as I use four (8mm, 10mm, 14mm and 17mm)...

    Wiha Torx Bit (T5-T10 Set) Purchase Experience

    I had to purchase a few small size torx bits to service my Snap On ratchets. I bought a Wiha torx set (https://www.wihatools.com/torxr-insert-bit-t5-t10-6-pack) from KC Tools since it was cheaper by $5 when you factor in the tax and shipping cost. KC Tools advertises the set with COO of...

    Is anyone using a ratchet adapter? If so, when do you use it?

    I have a few breaker bars (1 in 3/8" drive and 2 in 1/2" drive). I bought one 3/8" ratchet adapter (Snap On S67) and one 1/2" ratchet adapter (Snap On S77) thinking these would make my breaker bars more useful and versatile. But in reality I am not so sure about the utility. These adapters...

    Made in China is inferior because of inferior workers or reduced specifications?

    We have a lot of posts here about the perceived low quality of Chinese made tools. Conversely, we think Japanese made "Koken" tools are impeccable. So when we say made in China tools are junk: 1) Are we saying Chinese workers don't know (not smart enough) how to make good quality tools or 2)...

    Utility of Bent Handle 3/8" Drive Flex Head Ratchet

    I was a skeptic regarding the utility of a bent handle ratchet but became a convert after installing a set of running boards on my T4R using Snap On Bent Handle 3/8" Drive Flex Head Ratchet. This ratchet was so much easier to use in comparison to the straight handle ratchet. Of course, having...
