Hello, my shop moved and we are lucky to have a compressor included in the new shop. I cannot find the model number of the unit but doing some research it looks like a older Champion Duplex model. My issue is only 1 pump runs. The tank is drained every night and every morning I start both pumps...

Upgrading my pneumatic tools to more expensive products, it pushes me more to do something about my shops air supply running MY tools. I've talked to my boss about installing water separators and filters but it seems like it's a heavy task the way that the shop was plumbed previously that he...

This is mainly for diagnostic techs for Mercedes and BMW. More on the BMW side, while programing or coding, the BMW factory tool requires a steady 14+V keeping 50+amps. Almost bricked a car using the Snap-On roll around charger with "flash reprogram mode". The charger was set and for some reason...

Hello, I have a Hazet 4766 spark plug socket which I purchased from amazon Deutschland to America about seven months ago. Yesterday while using it on a truck, the metal retaining clip fell out in the back of the engine bay and I could not see or retrieve it. Amazon only offers a 30 day return...

I need a new air hammer for suspension jobs and I started off with buying a ph3050b (since it was on sale) for a infinity g35 front lower ball joint. I went for 10 mins and the ball joint wouldn't move. Then my coworker said use the boss' cp717. Same thing, no movement. I prepared myself for...

Extremely upset with snap on support. GJ Members, I've tried. I've tried very hard with snap on customer support. Their products are amazing but getting help with them from the manufacturer has left me with dissatisfaction. When I first started working in a shop a year ago, i had a rough start...

Someone decided to use my Streamlight HPL after hours and left it with a broken lens. Ofcourse no one will confess. I tried looking on stingers website for part numbers but it looks like the head/lens is not a serviceable part even though it easily is unscrewed from the body of the light. I...

Hello, Previously i had a HF 5 drawer cart and read people adding a Sunex folding shelf to it. I bought the model number that was said to be used on it and when it arrived, it had a 90 degree lip to hang off the cart. After I bolted it i noticed the cart lid wouldn't close because the lip of...

First of all, i am a tool polisher and if you aren't a tool polisher, i suggest you keep your opinions to yourself please. When I started working at my shop, i noticed my Co workers just shoot brake clean on rags and go at their tools. Yes it's good on sockets and metal tools, but I noticed on...

Hello, when I started off working I was given a MAC universal impact socket adapter which was a ball joint type. Today while using it, the ball joint section popped out. Nothing snapped or cracked, just popped out. Good thing MAC came today. The guy took it and gave me a pinned style. I stopped...

Hello, I am building my tool inventory at a foreign auto shop and have SnapOn, Matco, and Max come every week. I have researched on what their brand name wrenches have to offer and enjoying working on Mercedes and Porsche's, at times my boss hahas told me that Hazet works the best on these...

Hello, I have the Proto J138WP impact wrench and have had it new for about a month. Something I noticed out of the box- the anvil and be pulled and pushed about 4mm. I thought this is how it's supposed to be. Now when using, while spinning with a socket, it would drag. I don't know how to...

Does anyone know the special needle for a mini grease gun that works on the Proto JWP impact wrenches? I tried a OTC and a SO one but both of them seem to not reach or be sharp enough to inject the grease. The grease fitting on the impact wrench is a bit deep and not flush as other guns.

Shop compressor, the automatic motor switch took a **** so I ordered Problem is that the old switch had a screw to adjust the max PSI (the motor can go 175 max but the hoses I think we stop at 160PSI) Which screws adjust the max PSI and how do I do it?

Quick question. My shop's air hoses have a quick button disconnect fitting that uses these male fittings Can someone tell me the "hi-flo" style of those connectors? If there are none available, should I just drill out my connectors?

Work at a foreign auto shop that has an average of 40 customers a day.I started 9 months ago with budget tools to get me going and now want to upgrade. Was given HF earthquake 3/8 and 1/2 in guns for free. Used them every day and outgrowing them. I want to upgrade the 3/8 first. The two I see...
