So we are moving into another house in a couple weeks. Living here in the Phoenix area with summer temps well above 100 for 3 months, the garage gets somewhat hot. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to keep the temps down so I can actually be in the garage during the summer? We...

My new Snap on green ratchet screwdriver.

I was just wondering if the military issue Snap on tools are equally as quality as their industrial tools? I have a couple pieces that are military and was just wondering. Thanks!! :beer:

Today I went to a yard sale and left with these: 10" Cresent Wrench $3.00 1/4" Snap On ratchet $7.00 Ratchet has part number I can't see very well. MV7C is what it appears to be but I can't find it when I google it. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an old F720A from my dad. The part where the socket attaches (not sure of the part name) is cracked. If I call Snap On do they require you send it in for replacement or will they send out new one and I can keep the broken one? I would like to keep it because it belonged to my dad.

I have a 2001 Ford Ranger. Also, I have been slowly over the last few months been buying tools to start a tool set/collection. I am wondering if I should focus on metric or standards more? Which will my truck require the most? I am a new do it yourselfer and will not do anything major, just...

Does anyone have a link or copy or something to a valid 20% off coupon for Harbour Freight? I am looking to buy the 3 ton jack stands. I guess I should find out if they are worth the purchase? Not the aluminum ones...I'm looking at the steel ones.

So I went out a few weeks ago and bought myself a 3/8 drive breaker bar from Harbor Freight. Put it in my tool chest. Yesterday I went to use it and I can't get any of my sockets to fit onto the bar. Too big. Has anyone else had this same problem? Today I went to their website to give my review...

OK so I'm confused. Everyone says tools made in China are pure **** and I won't argue that. However, I been hearing people say tools made in Taiwan are better than China made tools, but still pretty bad. Then I hear people say to buy Blue Point. Some have even said they are better than...

I'm very proud of this for 2 reasons. First of all, I just purchased 4 Snap On screwdrivers off of eBay for $12.06. Not sure of the part numbers, but they are the ones with the black handles. 3 standards and 1 philips. Now why I am proud: 1. My very first eBay purchase. 2. My very first Snap...

I have tried to give my wife a tour of my new tool set I have built (and still am building). Her response was basically "no way in hell". What do I do?? :confused: :headscrat

Just started to get myself some better tools a couple months ago. Here's what I have so far. Keep in mind I am a complete NOVICE. Please give me your input as to how I can improve or what I may need to add to my collection. Most are Craftsman, with some Snap On and even Pittsburgh stuff.

I was just wondering about the Snap On trucks. I don't work in a shop but would like to buy the 4 in 1 screwdriver Snap On has. It's under $20. Can I just go into the truck and buy one? Would the truck have them or do I need to order online? Do they take Visa or cash only? Thanks! :beer:

So I have been seeing alot of people here buying and/or talking about Kobalt and Gearwrench tools. Are these tools actually quality tools? How do they compare to Craftsman? I understand they are not Snap On. Thanks for your help! :beer:

I'm not sure where to post this question. I want to learn some basic auto repair so I don't always have to call the mechanic. I live in the Tulsa area and other than a full 9 month course at the community college, I cannot find a class to teach these basics on auto repair and maintenance...

OK...new here and my first thread and 2nd time I put something here. I love your forum here. I am a casual self repair guy, meaning I don't do a lot due to lack of knowledge but am learning. I recently bought both a metric and standard set of 3/8 drive sockets, along with ratchets. A friend who...
