Does anyone have any recommendations for a Dremel style tool that actually lasts for cutting metal? I rarely use mine, because I keep burning them up, but there are some times it just comes in handy. I really only use it for the metal cutting disks. It seems like I literally get 2-3 uses out of...

It seems like every flea market, swap meet, large yard sale meet, etc. all have a few of the same tool vendors that always show up. They always seem to be loaded with stuff such as Snap On, Mac, Cornwell, etc. Any theories on how these guys find all of this stuff and at prices cheap enough to...

Well, I'm officially stumped. I previously posted about my Kobalt 80 gallon compressor dying on me. It seems like a relatively simple device. I tested the switch and it is working properly. Power is coming through it as it should. I even bypassed the switch in my initial testing with the...

I have a Kobalt 80 Gallon 2 Stage air compressor that's failed. I don't remember the exact date I purchased it, but it's probably 4-5 years old so I hate to toss it out. It also serves my needs perfectly. I had absolutely 0 complaints until it died. This is a picture of an identical one to what...

Does anyone have any advice on the best scan tool these days for an advanced DIYer? I do most of my own repairs and need something more advanced than what I've got now. I need it to be able to read abs and airbag codes, display live data, have bi directional controls to aid in testing, etc. I've...

I saw a video of a guy using some stubby sockets that had a hex shape to the outside allowing him to use a wrench on them in tight spots. This seems like a socket set that would be very useful at times. Doing a Google search, the Quinn set at Harbor Freight is what keeps coming up. Most of the...

It appears I need new fuses for the amp circuits on my Fluke 87v. Looking around online it seems like OEM Fluke branded fuses are extremely expensive. While most aftermarket ones are about 1/10th of the price. That's quite the price difference. Are the Fluke branded fuses worth the extra money...

I have some newer style Snap On line wrenches in metric which I absolutely love. I've recently needed a size of a standard one a few times and thought I'd just pick one up in thst size on eBay. I see that several people have this really old style for very cheap. eBay Listing Has anyone used...

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything recent. I have a rounded lug nut on my truck. Any opinions on the best tool to get thus off? I've been looking at the extractor sockets, but there are lots of options out there. Any opinions on them? If there is a better tool, I'm open to that too.

I know Matco stuff is usually just rebranded and marked up. Does anyone know who makes their weighted crank pulley socket set? This set.

I need a sawzall and a oscillating multi tool. I'm really torn on going with Ryobi vs spending the extra on Milwaukee Fuel. I have batteries for both platforms, so that's not a huge issue either way. I really like quality tools, so I started buying things from Milwaukee. Originally I intended to...

I'm trying to do a parasitic draw test and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not expert with this meter, but I've never had any problem doing it with the Snap On meter I previously used. I feel like I'm doing everything correctly. I disconnected the negative...

I need a new set of mini precision screwdrivers. After reading through some old threads I ended up ordering some Wiha screwdrivers from Amazon since they were half the price of the SO and 7 sizes vs 4. However, I haven't even gotten them yet and I'm having buyers remorse. I'm also reading that...

I tried searching, but the only thing I was really coming up with was the thread of the guy replacing the upper bearing on this model. Has anyone used the older Branick MST-580A? What are your opinions on it? Does it work well? How do you check the bearing in the top? It seems like some play...

I picked up a Snap On ratcheting screwdriver and I'm trying to determine if the bits are Snap On. I'm assuming they aren't as I don't see a part number on them. This leads me to believe they are generic bits someone replaced, but after looking at other examples I'm seeing different markings on...

I have a used Snap-On FHX80 3/8" locking flex head ratchet for sale. It's in good condition with some wear and dirt on the handle as you can see. I also have this one listed on eBay, but I'll sell it cheaper if someone wants it outside of eBay since we can avoid the fees. I'll take $120 shipped...

I have a 7 piece set of metric Snap On swivel 3/8" impact sockets in very good shape. I'd like to get $220 shipped for these. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Does anyone have the Gearwrench Sensor and Sending Unit Socket Set. Part # 41720? I currently have an old KD tools 02 sensor socket that works well when it fits. For ones it doesn't fit, I have a cheap parts store 02 sensor crow foot style socket and this is where the problem comes in. If they...

I'm not a professional (any longer), but I have multiple cars and do pretty much all of my own work on them. I've reached the point where I need a good scan tool. My code reader just isn't cutting it, and I'm tired of having to borrow my friends Snap On. I need something that will work to...

Well, I'm normally a big Fluke fan. I have a Fluke 87V that I use often. However, I'm finding that I need an amp clamp occasionally to use around the house. I'm just not sure that my occasional use warrants paying the fluke price. I originally planned to just buy an amp clamp to use with a...
