What is everyone's preference for pipe wrenches? I am looking for a set just to have around in the garage for general use. I was wondering if it's best to go with the traditional style, the quick flip jaw style or the Snap-on PWZ style. Thanks to everyone in advance. Bob Sent from my...

I was just wondering what is everyone's thoughts on the Snap on dent puller (or equivalent tool). I have a few dents on my work truck and I was wondering if it would be worth getting a tool rather then paying someone to do the work. I saw the video that Joel ( Snap on Tool Review) put together...

I would like to add some type of exhaust ventilation system to my home garage and the few threads that popped up made reference to the company Crushproof Tubing. I spoke with them this week and they gave me all the details of what I need for a simple system to run the hose out the garage door...

As the title states, I am looking for a battery charger which I can use to keep the the car's battery alive when using a scan tool. Specially, I was using my scanner to bleed the breaks on a Tahoe and the scanner wanted the battery on but the engine off. The battery was an older one and I...

I was hoping someone could explain why standard air chucks cannot be added to a tire inflator. I currently own this Tool Aid tire inflator (which I love by the way) and I would like to add a handle to the end just to make it a little more comfortable to hold. Why can't an "air chuck" be...

As the title says I am looking for a decent low current clamp meter or a low current amp probe. I live in Canada so alot of the nice tools listed on AES Wave is out of my price range when you add the exchange rate and include shipping/import fees. I currently have a Klein multimeter MM700...

I have been thinking about upgrading my OTC3111Pro scanner to a Snap-on scanner (home use only). The main reason for the upgrade is for bi-directional control. I should also mention I mainly work on GM vehicles but I do occasionally work on friends vehicles which are a variety of makes and...

With the nicer weather approaching I plan on doing some work on the cooling system of some of my vehicles. I was thinking that a pressure tester would be a nice addition to have in the toolbox just to check the system and make sure everything was put back together correctly. Speaking with my...

I am going to be doing a few brake jobs on my friends European cars and all the front brakes require a 7mm hex socket to undo the caliper slide pins. My current Mastercraft Maximum sets all skip the 7mm size. Being a DIY guy, I was wondering what the professionals use. Am I better to use a...

After many hours of planning I finally had my two post lift installed this weekend. I have been very busy getting the garage read for the lift therefore I have not updated my garage build for some time but I am planing on doing that in the next week or two. I hope this is in the correct spot...

I have been using my cheap IR Edge Air Hammer more and more and I think its time to upgrade. Looking on the site it seems like the Snap-On PH3050B is the way to go if you want to spend a ton a money and the IR 118Max is a very close second and has a much better price point. Right now I have a...

I have a 2008 Subaru Impreza which was experiencing some random mis-fires on cylinders 1 and 2 according to the check engine light. I looked at the spark plug wires and noticed that two of the four were really loose. When I pulled on the loose ones I noticed that the metal piece inside the spark...

What are peoples thoughts on the Rotary VLXS10 Vs. BendPak MD-6XP mid rise scissor lift. I do not have the ceiling height for a two post so I thought a mid rise would be my best option. I really like the Rotary lift since it is rated at 10,000 lbs compared to the 6,000 lbs on the BendPak. The...

I have been thinking about getting some type of lift for may somewhat extra deep two garage. (I have pictures of my garage build, link in my sig.) My wife parks on the small side and I park and work on the other side. The working area is around 14.5 ft wide by 33 ft deep (includes work bench and...

So in the next week or two I have four front hub bearings to replace on two trucks. Living in the rust belt I am guessing the bearings will be hard to remove. Does anyone have any tips or tool recommendations to make this job easier. I have a slide hammer already which I usually use on smaller...

So over the past few weeks I have been getting some pricing on two and four post lifts for my garage. I have been focusing on Rotary and Bendpak since they seem to be the top brands talked about on this site. I was just recently speaking with my Snap-on rep and we started talking about lifts...

I need to replace the intake gasket on my Silverado so I thought this project would give me a good reason to purchase a torque wrench. I have a cheap Mastercraft 1/2" drive torque wrench which I typically use for tire changes. I figure for tires the accuracy is not that important. However for...

Does anyone know the lid capacity on a KRSC33 and a KRSC326. I could not find anything in the Snap On catalog. I know they list the lid capacity on a KRSC246 is 150 lbs. I am looking for a roll cart for my home garage to match my Classic 78. My main focus for the roll cart is to have a work...

Does anyone know a good source for electricians chain pliers. I had a very old pair which has lost the spring and I would like to get a backup. When I search the web I only come across this one set which is sold by a few different companies. Is this the only type that exists? Bob
