All my dads Snap on hard handles are "pre-anti cam out" but it's what I compared my Williams to in this thread. Can't say its exactly apples to apples. I was contemplating buying a set of brand new, current production blue hardhadles but they are about $140, that would be the best comparison...

This was a great time! Thank you Mark, Wingnut, and everyone else that made it happen!

I have a few junk draws between 3 boxes. One is nothing but random nuts, bolts, washers, fittings etc., my main junk drawer has about 2 dozen different lengths and sizes of fuel and coolant hose (always shorter than what I need!), extra tool pouches/socket rails and clips, novelties, beer...

My local Graybar and Rexel have Ideal tools (and electrical components of course)

I just got a call from a carpenter friend of mine. He just noticed that his air compressor is leaking oil at the intake filter. I have not been out to look at it, and I can't make it until the morning and he is/was planing on spraying a lot tomorrow. What could be causing this? perhaps the...

Welcome from Sarasota! :rocker: Nice Porsche!

Welcome to Garage Journal :beer: This place is a good time, you will learn a lot and most likely be broke if you spend enough time in the tool and hot deals section :D

So which one of ya'll is Eric Bivins? :lol_hitti

I think he means modulation of the speed of the gun and how much you hammer on the lugs.

Nice score singlcut, I like the powder blue! Blue is coming back, my dealer has a few sets of blue hard handles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Snap-On-7-Piece-Rare-Blue-Hard-Handle-Combination-Screwdriver-Set-SDDX70AB-/221208571313?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item33810eedb1&vxp=mtr This set...

I run across 34 degree clip head guns every once in a while. They do not meet code here in FL though.

I'll keep a look out for Knipex and Hazet down here at the pawn shops, I have never seen either brand in any pawn shop around here, anything in number will be suspicious.

I am not an aviation mechanic but I did have a discussion related to this thread with my Snap-On dealer the other day. We were on the topic of .gov contracts and he told me a story about NASA's toolboxes that Snap-on designed for them. In order to A. prevent theft and B. keep track of tools...

I need to go to more of these (only ever been to one, and I actually did pretty good) Im in Sarasota, Pinellas park isn't too far, I'll check it out one day. I actually did get lucky today. My GF's parents went to a home auction and scored this Columbian for me for $10! I am not sure of the...

I've had $60 in my paypal account for over 18 months, finally found somewhere to spend it! THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP. BTW Pro-Painter, you ****

Outlaw, you always score coolest old stuff! I'm not sure if it's my town or Florida in general but I just do not run across many old tools. Considering FL was never an industrial state when we did that kind of thing (like make stuff), so maybe thats why? Old fishing gear though, lots of that!

+ 1. 12 foot ceilings makes room for a full size lift. If you can't do 12', you can see if you can put in some custom trusses (if you are going to use trusses) to make a big tray ceiling outline above the lift but it will cost some $$ and engineering. In Florida, and most of the deep "south"...

Not sure exactly but the owner has been with Snap-on for over 25 years with truck and management positions in corporate Snap-on so I am sure it is okay. I know that you can't sell tools in other people's route domain, so as long as the store front is in your domain I am sure it's okay.

UPDATE: Went to the Snap-on "store" today. All I can say is AWESOME. I counted 15 tool boxes and carts on display along with welders, tire changers/balancers, promo stuff, shirts, hats, power tools, hand tools etc. If you are in the area, stop by on a Saturday. If you don't know Juan or any of...
