I have the snap on version. I would recommend it however not as a work jacket, honestly working outdoors proper layers (maybe the hoodie or vest) under a carhartt and you will be WAY better off. Lately it has been -25C (-35C windchill) and it has kept me warm for the amount of time I have been...

I just welded a 1" square pipe on the side of the cart and made a J hook out of flat bar. scrap metal kicking around and only took 5 minutes to throw together.

I bought one of these, decently priced and seems robust. Autometer #2160

Nylon socket rails with detent ball. I like that I can change the layout, change the amount of sockets, have different size sockets on each rail, easy to add or subtract rails as needed, and they are cheap.

I had a cheap one (no name taiwan) and it sucked, bought a snap on one 10 years ago and did not have an issue with it.

These look great however, No warranty dealer around me and having to mail ratchets away is a no go for me. That and the knurling hurts my sensitive hands, I have never had my hand slip off a ratchet handle... knurling or markings on sockets though is great.

Just be glad you other Calgary folks local store is not the Marlborough/Pacific Place CT..... it is a gong show when there is only 2 customers in the store.

Pretty sure the driver on my route has a couple of the same sets on the truck, I will check with him, I am in Calgary, Alberta so if you needed them I could get them.

I have a bluepoint one, it is just a rebranded Lisle (flat style) at home I have a no-name style one and while it works the ends are softer and bend on the tip. Even the bluepoint one is under $20.

aircraft stripper and razor blades, then finish off with sander. you will HATE YOU LIFE, if you strip it to bare metal with only a sander.

Same thing when I got into Automation/Controls, I needed a few things but once I bought those... I could carry everything around in a klein bag... In 3 years some of the items in my bag had never been taken out.

another option is to take it into an autobody supply store, get them to scan it and mix an aresol can of single stage to match.

had the channel lock 921's as a cheap at home soution, used them once and gave them away, do yourself a favor and buy solid tip style from any reputable manufacturer and never have to replace them again.

Certain things are personal preference, but this is my list of their stuff I regard highly Mac extensions Mac USA made wrenches Mac USA Sockets Mac screwdrivers (hard or soft handle) (I do not like the feel but they are quality.. just not for me I do like alot of the rebranded Mac stuff...

it sure does. http://ultimator.snapon.com/

you will not be disapointed and it will ruin most other ratchets for you. At first going to a sealed head from the quick release was annoying but now I like the slim back for tight areas, when you have to grip it around the head you do not bump the button and after some use they are easier to...

buy a good/accurate torque wrench, ask the truck about trade ins, you do not need the fancy digital one to start, this will be your #1 key tool for being a professional and starting a career. Look after it and it will last you a lifetime, name brand wrenches do hold value pretty decent (if you...

Klein for regular Wera for insulated (replaced kleins)

I am interested in this. Heated jacket, dual batteries, numeral display, usb charging. ** link as the picture posted was huge and I cannot resize it. https://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/14027372_1168075023259720_589268380_n.jpg

I have the snap on L/T combination ones, been using them professionally since 2007, no wear on them, none have broken. The only complaint I have that they seemed to resolve is the white paint white showing the size wears off and the size on the shaft is really hard to see. The newer ball end...
