    Six-point Double Box End Wrenches Exist?

    Snap-On used to make 6 point double box end wrenches. I'm pretty sure they were only available in SAE and they're long, long discontinued. But they do show up on ebay.

    New Snap-On F100

    I had a change to play with one on the truck last week and directly compare it to a new dual 80. There's way too much back drag, even for a new ratchet it's stiff. I've also heard a lot of complaints about the fwd/rev selector getting jammed up. Even the rep didn't seem impressed. Personally I...

    Can anyone ID an older compressor for me based on pictures alone?

    Normally I don't have much trouble IDing a pump. But this one has me stumped. Trying to figure out what it is so I can see if parts are available and if it's worth buying

    Blue Point AT400B Parts Breakdown

    No I haven't. I haven't even called my rep yet. I find it's a lot easier for me if I just do the work myself and give him part numbers to order.

    Blue Point AT400B Parts Breakdown

    Does anyone have a parts breakdown for an older Blue Point AT400B? It works fine other than the pin and spring for the throttle valve is missing. I'm not finding much online. Thanks

    compressor help

    I will echo this. I was a little luckier in that the first 2 were actually free but a similar path or progression: small oil-less compressor, it sure beat using a bicycle pump to pump up bike tires, and it was great for blowing out small carburetors. It really wasn't big enough for anything...

    Drill press adjusting rack, where to buy?

    Yes I need to lower the table. Worst case I can probably get this welded or brozed back together. Using a rack from a similar drill press would be fine if someone happens to have part numbers that are still able to be ordered.

    Drill press adjusting rack, where to buy?

    I have an older Durex Industrial drill press that I broke the rack on. Where does one buy a replacement for a 30 year old overseas drill press imported by a Quebec company with no documentation? I have attached some pics. Thanks

    Snap-On THLLD72

    I don't care much for the comfort grip, too hard to keep clean they get slimy after while from grease and oil.

    Snap-On THLLD72

    They're both 3/8 drive. But the blue one started out as a 1/4 drive. It never so much as turned a single bolt before I converted it.

    Snap-On THLLD72

    Anyone else buy one yet? They just came out in Canada. I've been after one since before they existed, finally got my hands on one today. I immediately put an RKRFC72 kit in it along with the matching back plate. I think it will make a great 3/8 drive compact head ratchet. See it below next to an...

    Brand new Quincy QT-5... Rod Knock?

    I don't have an experience with that particular compressor but I have been around lots of two stage compressors. Sounds very normal to me. Also the space it's in is very echo-y so that isn't helping matters. I'm not hearing any knock, sounds just like almost every other two stage compressor...

    Snap on losing their minds? 1/2” impact

    I've had my IR Ti2135TiMAX for almost 10 years and it's been great even with almost no maintenance. I've also dropped it more times than I care to admit. The local IR dealer, who I am quite friendly with once told me they have never had to replace a composite handle (and it gets pretty cold here...

    Air Compressor Help

    I really don't like those Condor pressure switches, they're built very cheaply, the Square D and Furnas ones are much better made, but also more expensive. You get what you pay for really applies here IMO. The most common thing that seems to happen to that compressor pump itself is the reed...

    Tools that you wish weren’t discontinued

    Snap-On XS series double box end 6 point wrenches, they're short with much more of an offset than what's currently available. The 7/16 x 1/2 version was especially useful doing carburetors on small engines for removing the fuel bowl.

    Help choosing used Air Impact.

    1) You're kind of on your own because I never bothered to see what was available, but if you can find an IR 2135TiMAX or it's newer and more powerful replacement the 2235TiMAX I'd get one of those. Extremely powerful, very lightweight and parts are very available. The ergonomics are also very...

    What compressor pump do I have?

    Thank you very much! That is greatly appreciated. It actually looks like you can still buy parts. I also had no idea it used poppet valves, I assumed it had reed valves, seems like it's a better pump than I thought it was.

    What compressor pump do I have?

    This has a 1725RPM motor on it. IIRC the fittings are all metric. It has actually worked absolutely flawlessly for the 4 years I've owned it, but I just bought a used Chinook K30 pump as it was very cheap and I could use something a little bigger. That said I'm just curious as to what I have in...

    What compressor pump do I have?

    Is anyone able to identify this pump? It's an aluminum 2 stage model. I have the owners manual and parts breakdown but I can't actually find anything on it. It's an older RK Machinery CA 560V-DS built in 1990. Ignore the Champion tank, I swapped it to replace the original tank that rusted out...
