Went to spray some fluid film today, no-go. Air flows out the tip, but zero FF is flowing. This is a woolwax branded gun but it appears nearly identical to the handle assembly on the fluid film gun. The fluid film gun reviews say that it's obviously designed for this thick stuff. This...

I know these are rather new, the dual drive style bits in 1/4 drive. Grip edge advertises these as "7/16 (11mm)" driven end via a wrench, IIRC 11mm was the size in video on the bit. 7/16 is around 11.1mm. I used the 1/4 astro 78345, which the Grip Edge bits go into and lock securely. However...

My original 1/4 M12 ratchet was the 2559 long neck, which I was/am happy with. Per the Milwaukee website it appears no longer available, at least as a kit. I wanted a standard length option, but all the M12 Fuel line has in standard length is the high speed model. Despite only 5ft/lb...

I bought the M18 top off about a year ago, primarily to use with my soldering iron. The iron is a Hakko fx600, which I believe has a max wattage of about 65, the top off having 175watt output per the manual. This worked well for about a year, now the top off seems unresponsive for 120v use. I...

I think this market is a moving target, constantly evolving, so I want some input from people who may have newer models than I. The difference between the two products is something I cannot define well from looking at the market so I just included bore/endo scope together. Around 3 years ago I...

I have no idea what these are actually called, but I'm talking about the threaded pins that let you hang a wheel on the hub while you start the other lug bolts. Lisle 14150 is what I'm thinking about, although LTI makes some plastic/nylon/whatever ones which don't thread in. Apparently...

Lots of panels, fender liners, and other plastic junk is now held on by 1 time use plastic rivets. What are you guys using for installing these? My regular rivet tool from astro doesn't seem to work well with the plastic ones, works fine for everything else. I saw 19400 from SG Toolaid in a...

Previously documented in another thread - 1/2 drive metric torque adapters - is there any option for a mostly complete set aside from Capri who sells 14-24? https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/new-tool-offerings-from-capri.537465/ Has anyone tried these and put big-torque through...

Preface, I am not super interested in this deal, it was just presented to me earlier today. It got me thinking that I have never quantified what my end goal is with eventually moving to another snapon tool. I have two other "asian" tools and I am not interested in moving away from snap on...

I have some boxes that are due for cleaning/waxing. They're all powder coated boxes and all happen to be snap on but I doubt that brand is relevant. One is a ~10yo KRL, another is a ~5yo KRL. I have two lockers ~5 years old, and a 10+yo used locker with beat powercoat I cleaned recently when...

Very ignorant of HVAC, so excuse my lack of terminology. My home has intermittently become VERY cold, in the 60s, despite the thermostat being set to 72F as usual. Issue being the thermostat is displaying the sensed interior temp as being 75F, and is running the AC aggressively in an attempt...

Tekton bit sockets are S2 steel, and in my experience basically anything S2 is good quality and long lasting. I have a few other tekton bits, which are fine. So I bought a T30 impact 3/8 for rotor set screws. This is the result on the first set screw of a Chevy Volt. It did manage to...

Sometimes I need big split dies to repair things like axle threads. Talking M18-M24. https://www.ebay.com/itm/352528957600 I was able to find the above, and that's about it. I don't need SAE at all, which made some of the stuff for bigger trucks pointless as 1/2 of the set or more is...

I've been chasing organization and "densifying" my tools in my roll cart. The top of the cart holds 3/8 and 1/2 sockets, no plans to change my 1/4 drive setup which is westling machine trays. The westling machine trays have too many sizes I don't need, and I don't feel are a great use of space...

I want the mobile workstation, even though it's smaller than my current cart. I've been moving stuff and reorganizing in my 40" wide KRSC to facilitate this possibility. My driver's wants 3500 out the door with my current KRSC cart that's having drawer drifting issues. I think the shell is...

Saw these on TikTok earlier this week, anyone put their hands on one? It's 80ft/lb, 200rpm, with the ring shaped light. My dealer told me it's essentially a brushless version of the Brute. The regular brushless 3/8 (CTR867) is 60ft/lb and 275rpm. The "Brute" 3/8 (CTR762) is 70 ft/lb and...

Replaced a rear caliper on a 2021? GM truck. Traditional bleeding with two people lead to zero fluid flow, service info says to pressure bleed below 30psi. So now I'm in the market for pressure bleeding tools. It appears that I can either just pump up the empty container and push the fluid...

I don't like doing trailing arm bushings, due to tooling and the condition of the vehicles. However it seems to becoming more common Normally I cannot fully remove the arm from the vehicle. It simply is not practical due to the condition of the vehicle, I'd be replacing every single...

I developed a leak in a hose whip feeding one of my 498 air hammers last week. The tool had ~18" of continental hose with push-lock air fittings for 1/4npt. The leak appears to be between the hose and the fitting, the fitting going into the gun, probably due to extreme vibration. Anyways I...

I'm expecting to be moving this, along with a few other things, in the near future. I need some feedback on my plans. The right box is full, as are both of the lockers on it. The left box is full, but the locker is not bolted on and will need removed. It is empty currently. The snap on...
