I have a Snapon Kra21 portable box but it's heavy even before I put tools in it. Does anyone know what the Snapon Kra24 box weighs? The Snapon site doesn't list the weight and I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows before I committed to buying. I like to keep a smaller box in my house and...

For sale is a group of USA-made Craftsman wrenches, both SAE and metric. I have too many wrenches and thought someone might have a use for these. These don’t represent a complete set and, for some sizes, there are duplicates. You’ll see both 12 point and 6 point wrenches scattered throughout...

Since I can't seem to track down a local driver, I'll be ordering some new stuff from the Snap-on site and wondered if anyone has gotten a new FL80 or TL72 ratchet lately and if it has the USA stamp on it. I'm not looking to start a "why do you care about the USA stamp discussion" again. It's...

Are the little black button selectors on the locking flex head ratchets plastic or metal? I'm looking at a TX72. I'm not a pro so I emailed Snapon last week asking about a local driver so I could look at one but didn't get a response. I figured it would be faster to consult the folks on...

Ahh, you guys probably thought I was immediately going to go into some "why are they now made in China" rant, right? Not in this case. Below is a picture from my local Home Depot. Apparently, now you can't even fondle the tools in the store as they are guarded by a 6 foot tall chain link gate...

Two part question. First, how durable are the plastic trays that the current screwdriver sets come in? Is it worth ordering the set just to get the tray or is the plastic tray prone to breaking? Second, does anyone know if Snapon has plans to re-introduce and hard handle ratchets? I know...

Let me first say that I’m not a full-time mechanic but I would still love to have a bright blue Snap-on toolbox in my garage. I can’t really explain it but they appeal to me due to the legacy, etc. I know Snap-on stuff is expensive and, let’s face it, much of it has to simply do with the name...

I see that the F80 along with a few others are on sale on Snapon's site. I'm hoping this means they are clearing out the old stock to make way for the new USA branded stuff.

Hi all, I found an old Wilton vise today and thought you might like to see it since there are so many discussions about these great vises. I'm curious if any of you can date this thing. You'll notice it doesn't say "Chicago" on the side nor does it say "Schiller Park". Here's the interesting...

What's the general consensus on ratcheting screwdrivers? I have been wanting to treat myself to a new tool purchase and I think I may go the screwdriver route. I don't argue Snapon quality but are their ratcheting screwdrivers kind of a solution looking for a problem? Am I missing out on not...

I know that some time ago SK set up a new manufacturing location and I wondered what level of quality they are putting out now? I ask because I was recently in a local retail store that happens to carry SK tools and the selections I saw looked pretty mediocre. I'm talking sockets with...

Hi all. I'm new here but am looking forward to participating in the forum. I like tools and tinkering so it seems like a good place to hang out.
