    Did snap-on make a mistake?

    I recently bought a SAE and metric ratcheting box set from my local tool guy. The strange thing is that on the box of the metric set it says blue point, but the wrenches all say snap-on on them. I’m almost hesitant to use these because it may be collectable. Has anyone seen oddities like this?

    Low decibel air ratchet

    This question may seem like a mythical unicorn. Does anyone make a 3/8 air ratchet that is emits noise under 84 decibels? Constantly buying earplugs and hassling with ear protection can slow me down when I want to finish a quick job. I want to be an efficient as possible when I’m repairing...

    average price per 12pt combination wrench

    So I decided to see what the average price per 12pt combination wrench is per tool brand. I selected SAE wrench sets from websites where I could purchase the tools online.

    Out of curiosity I decided look up how much a 9/16” combination wrench costs by brand. After I found out the prices, I wondered how many wrenches you can buy compared to the price of the tool truck brands. So I created a graph that displays the differences in price for the same size wrench...

    unknown wrenches

    Can anyone help me identify what company made these wrenches? The only markings are "LC forged steel" on one side and "B made in the U.S.A." on the other. I really don’t know who made these, I think they were my dad’s at one time and somehow wondered into my toolbox a long time ago.

    Why can’t I buy Snap-On tools from a retailer?

    I’m sure that this question has been asked before. It is cumbersome trying to buy tools off of the truck when the tool dealer is going to be all over the place and not in one location every time. I don’t like buying from the website because sometimes there are better deals off of the tool...

    How do you rate your tools before you buy?

    Before I invest money in tools I have 4 things that are important to me: 1) Quality (1=poor,10=excellent) meaning the attention to detail of the tool, and if it breaks easily. 2) Value (1=poor,10=excellent) Value to me is how much can I buy at an affordable price. 3) Availability...

    hello all, are there any known snap-on discounts? I'm really dissaponted with the quality of my craftsman tools, and would like to replace them with snap-on ones. i have a gut feeling that snap-on overcharges for their tools to keep their financing part of the business afloat. i have used many...

    All Trade Digital Torque Adapter

    I noticed this digital torque adapter that had an option to calibrate click torque wrenches also. I’m a little bit skeptical about relying on a cheap tool for calibration, but if it works I would be happy to use it. Has anyone used this torque adapter...
