    It has 14 stripes

    The Snap on flag box pictured above is probably one of the ugliest Snap on boxes I've ever seen. :wtf: Perhaps Snappy needs to take a look at Sunex & Craftsman versions for inspiration :lol: https://sunextools.com/products/american-eagle-250th-juic-d-box-50-7-drawer-powered-cart-black

    Hey, not to get all maudlin but, seeing the field jacket liner on the back of the chair made me think of your Dad and how it would have been nice for him to see this Epstein's day. :beer: On a side note, the three new hires can help with the mysterious liquidation purchase after the Epstein's...

    PSA - Actron products and all product support discontinued

    Yes, the old Tech One and the more recent (kind of) Tech Two. Great tools in their day. I think Bosch makes the current MDI for GM and the IDS for Ford. Actron is an old brand. It was the DIY brand from OTC for years long before Bosch bought OTC. What year vehicles are you using the Actron...

    NAPA NDM , How old is this set?

    My guess is late 1980s to late 1990s. Danaher made, rabadged KD from that time period. Nice, no frills get the job done wrenches. The stuff that you miss from the shuttering of the Armstrong factory.

    Walmart Getting Serious About Tools in 2026?

    I think Walleyworld tries to meet the needs of their customers and offering tools is part of this. I don't think any tool offering from Wal Mart would make someone give up the tools they currently own but, if you don't have something and need it, Wal mart might be an option.

    Proto ratchet rebuild

    The Proto spinflex ratchet used MAC's standard 30 tooth ratchet head. I don't think anyone supports it today. However, you could call Proto customer service at Phone: 1-800-800-TOOL (8665). You could also call MAC Tools' customer service number 1-800-MAC-TOOLS and ask if they have 30 tooth...

    Looking for a high quality mini 1/4" ratchet. Hazet vs Ko-Ken?

    I believe German Manufacturers place holes in some of their ratchet handles to give users a hanging storage option :dunno: Back to the OPs question, what do you mean by compact? Ratchet Head thickness or overall length/width? Owning both Hazet & Ko-Ken 1/4 drive ratchets, I find them to be...
