I would recommend a FAR72c If you work on stuff for a living.

matco copied mac. I'm going to buy some mac extensions. I hace one and I prefer it over the copy.

I had a defective pair of needle nose. the tip of one jaw bent on the first use so I bent it back and used it for a year. then I sent it in and they gave me a good looking new pair. they work good. I like channellock. it did take a little while though, but I have multiple pairs.

I use a rag. on rare occasions I have used carb or brake cleaner. watch out for labels and melting handles.

You could probably get away with a flat head and a pair of dykes. But a hold down spring tool and return spring tool may help.

Great choice! If you didn't know, there is a grease fitting in the head.

that was the first tool i bought from snap-on. very good but some people don't like it. they are less likely to try to use it too!

I have about the same amount of experience as you and could not successfully open a shop by myself. I don't know what hours you work, but I just got home from work. It started at 8 am and I work late very often, and have another job that I go to after 5 until around 10 if my first job is not too...

well, they are tools. And they are mine.

here is mine. And what are you using it for? tool storage or as a cart ?

The shop I work at has one. It is a complete *************. I would not recommend it, But it is a "v" style compressor.

I got the matco "economy"? cart its red and has two trays, I put the 3 small drawers and one large drawer on it. If I was you, I'd get the us made one for 60 dollars and a organizer tray. I have a matco organizer but you can find it cheaper somewhere else.

Yeah they are great air ratchets. He needs to learn trigger control and you can use it as a normal ratchet to break stuff loose and tighten it if it doesnt have the guts. it can definitely strip and break many bolts if you are not careful.

He should at least get a small standard set for working on mowers and stuff, and some carb cleaner! Also I think there is a set of williams screwdrivers (like snapon) that you can buy for like 10 dollars? good screwdrivers are important. I would recommend a craftsman 255 pc mechanics tool set...

this seemed useful. looks like I can stick it on the windshield while testing.

thats fine. I am usually breaking loose and snugging the bolt up by hand with the air ratchet. Not trying to break stuff loose by smashing the trigger and not over tightening things leaving the trigger on too long. Chrome sockets are ok and I use chrome swivels on my 1/4 air ratchet.

I don't think you can buy that version any more. I have the 4 bolt version and it worked well. I bought an mg325 to replace it though.

you could try to buy the lube for the anvils and replace it. it is not hard to change, but may be difficult to find.

I bought an echo srm-225 when I was 12, now I am 19. I use it on a fairly large yard and have used it a few times with a blade to cut down a bunch of frags. I partially rebuilt the carb this year, for no real reason other than the primer filling slowly after sitting for a long time. other than...

I am liking the OTC one. does anybody know where its made? Not sure if i will need the flow tester but I could always add it on. I can get the snapon EEFI500 for $332.16
