    Lisle 39480 vs Lisle 39850 disconnect set

    Well, I’ve got to replace the darn transmission cooler lines on my 3rd gen Cummins. I’ve been told that the quick disconnect fittings on Chryslers are very delicate and they really require a proper tool and not an improvised tool. So I will be getting a quick disconnect set to handle this job...

    Hey Astro Tools - I must have a pneumatic slide hammer!

    Seriously, what an awesome idea! I just saw Clay’s video tour of your booth at SEMA, and now I must have the pneumatic slide hammer. When do you think it might be available? Also how about the new air hammer tools with the proprietary steel? Are they available yet? I’m thinking about picking up...

    Flush cutters and plastic repair “stitches”

    I recently acquired a 1999 2 door Tahoe 4x4. I’ve been lusting after one for over a decade and I found a solid rust free truck recently that’s now going to be a build project for me. The dash board is cracked as is typical of that era GM truck. I plan on buying and installing a Dashkin cover as...

    AJHD Feedback

    Just received the tools I purchased from AJHD. The purchase was made on Sunday, and they arrived safely on Wednesday. If my wife told me she just picked up the tools off the SnapOn truck on the way home from work I wouldn’t have doubted it. These tools are NEW. Thank you very much for such a...

    Are the Harbor Freight under hoist Jack stands really ok?

    Are these: https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-capacity-underhoist-safety-stand-61600.html under hoist Jack stands really ok? I don’t really see much difference between these, the Red line units, or even the Astro units that Harbor Freight compares them to? I like Astro stuff, and honestly...

    Is there really a need for RBRT SAE socket extractors if I have the metrics?

    I love the Mac RBRT broken bolt FOR extractors that I’ve got, they work awesome. So I picked up a set of the metric socket extractors on special. They seem to work incredibly well, and frankly I only foresee me using these on damaged fasteners where I hammer them on anyway. So if I’m not merely...

    Wright flare nut wrenches as good as SnapOn?

    Wright grip combination wrenches seem to be pretty universally loved here on GJ, and they are well reviewed and regarded elsewhere also. Everyone here also pretty much says that the SnapOn flare nut wrenches are the best. My question is, while possibly not as common as SnapOn, are the Wright...

    Interesting observation since I bought SnapOn dual 80 reversible combination wrenches

    I got a smoking deal on some barely used SnapOn dual 80 reversible ratcheting combination wrenches a few months ago. Like literally only 2 sizes were even used and I paid less than a third of new prices. I loved them so much that I got rid of my GearWrench reversible combination wrenches. Then...

    Got my first Koken tools - ratchet is great except for one issue

    I decided to take advantage of the SEMA discount code and got a couple things to try from Koken USA. I didn’t have any 1/2” drive wobble extensions so I decided to try their wobble plus type extensions in the fitted foam organizer. I also wanted to try one of their 72 tooth ratchets. I decided...

    What’s a realistic quick sell price for a SnapOn KRL 1001?

    I’m contemplating picking up a tool collection to get a few items I need and sell the rest to recoup my investment. A KRL 1001 in seemingly great shape is part of the deal. What’s a realistic quick sale price for a KRL 1001 to be out of it quickly? Thanks

    Where are SnapOn’s new in house taps and dies?

    There’s a lot of talk about SnapOn making their own taps and dies after their partnership with Irwin ended. These new taps are supposed to be the cat’s meow, and a big improvement on the older Irwin sourced taps and dies. How the heck does anyone know about these new tools, I can’t find them...

    Hats off to SK tools (ratchet replacement)

    Just wanted to give credit where it’s due. I grabbed one of my SK 1/2” ratchets to secure a new wooden top to one of my Vidmar cabinets last Sunday. When I got done I noticed a couple large flakes of chrome in my hand. This ratchet was a hand me down from at least 35 years ago, but I figured I’d...

    Thinking of parting with my Snap On KRL 1022

    First, let me start by saying that I'm a home tinkerer that likes good quality tools. I've got a pretty good mix of Craftsman, Snap On, Knipex, Matco, etc. as far as mechanic style tools. I've also gotten into woodworking since I built and move down into my new house and shop a few years ago. I...

    Picked up a Wilton WS4 on sale today, how'd I do?

    So there's a local hardware store that's going out of business because the owner wants to retire. There's discounts on everything, some better deals than others. Last week I picked up some Carhart Arctic Extreme bibs at a price about $10 less than I'd seen them before. They also have some Yankee...

    Recommend me a decent, but not too expensive air hammer/ chisel setup

    I think I might finally have to give in. I'm replacing the parking brake cables on my 1997 F350 Powerstroke project truck and I cannot for the life of me get this one bracket off. It is a bracket on the frame that holds the brake cables in place just forward of the rear axle. I've tried tons of...

    Recommend a good right angle grinder

    I've got a little Christmas tool money and a Lowe's gift card to spend and I think it's time I got myself a right angle grinder. It's going to be a while before I'll have my 80 gallon dream compressor in my new garage, so since I'm working off my 30 gallon 1.6 HP Kobalt belt driven special, air...

    Are USA made CMan Pro combo wrenches worth picking up?

    I am visiting my mother and father in law with my wife for a couple of days for an early Christmas. I stopped by their Sears tonight to kill a little spare time and saw that they still had 1 package of USA made metric CMan pro wrenches and 3 sets of USA made SAE wrenches. I picked up the metric...

    Trade Snap On metric deep impact for S/O SAE shallow?

    My snap on guy offered me a deal on a set of metric 1/2 inch drive impacts 10 - 19 mm in both deep and shallow that were repossessed from another of his customers. I have some deep USA made Cman's in SAE and metric that I'm happy with but am looking to add shallow impacts to my collection. Would...

    Positive feedback for 67427vette

    I ordered a set of Snap On 3/8" drive extensions from 67427vette on Wednesday last week. He shipped them to me the same day (from CA) and they arrived safely yesterday. They were well packaged and exactly as described. I would definitely recommend 67427vette and would gladly do business with him...

    Opinion on DeWalt 15 gallon Air Compressor

    I don't have my own garage at my current house so I rent a 2 car garage to keep all my tools, my ATV and Snowmobile as well as to have a place to work on vehicles and tinker out of the elements. I can't wait until I build my new house on my land with accompanying shop, fully outfitted with lift...
