    First Snap-On tools, initial thoughts

    That offers some relief at least; I don't anticipate beating on it too much, I was mostly just surprised that it was so rough in comparison to the rest of the ratchet. I was surprised that even the cutouts on the handle were smooth, after reading numerous complaints about sharp edges from others...

    First Snap-On tools, initial thoughts

    You aren't kidding, the only one I've seen that topped that is the lever on an Allen 3/8 that I picked up for $2 because it was seized. I liked the mild knurling on the handle and I had a suspicion that it was simply dirty, so i ended up with a spare 3/8 with a moderately long handle (compared...

    First Snap-On tools, initial thoughts

    There's no need to be so offended over something so silly. When you pay for a premium product, it's reasonable to expect a premium product. When it comes to finish, a perfectly level surface beneath the plating will contribute to a more durable (ie long lasting) finish that keeps the tool...

    First Snap-On tools, initial thoughts

    Hey all, I'm a lurker who finally decided to take the plunge and register. I've been a Craftsman man from day one, I've held onto the original USA tools that I was given as a teen and have acquired more (USA Only, apart from Taiwanese thin profiles) through the years with no regrets. That...

    60/84/88 ratchet repair kits

    I am aware that this is a bit of a revival, but does this cross over to the "thin profile/low profile" Craftsman ratchets as well? I wouldn't complain about upgraded ratchets/pawls in my sets. I have been playing with the search feature on GJ and am struggling to isolate what I am looking for.

    Craftsman Breaker (1/2 drive, 18" length) - Rebuild kit or replacement head

    I appreciate both of your responses. WWheeler, that is what I am afraid it may come to, but my sentiment is two fold and it wouldn't be the same if it were a different bar... reptilezs, would you happen to have a part number by any chance? I keep finding kits that exist for other bars, but I...

    Craftsman Breaker (1/2 drive, 18" length) - Rebuild kit or replacement head

    Hey folks, I have a 1/2" Craftsman breaker bar that I managed to damage a few months ago, which I have been unable to source a repair kit/replacement head for. The breaker in question is a USA made 18" mode, stamped VVAB with the model number 44202. I am not willing to exchange it for the...

    Mobil 1 - New round of rebates, low as $2/qt.

    I for one am glad that this thread is alive and kicking! Thanks for the updates, fellas; It looks like I'll be able to stock up and just let the rebates come as they will.

    What do you think of Harbor Freight tools?

    I'm pretty new to the boards (recent lurker, happy to have stumbled across this site by accident), but I have been a gearhead for most of my life. I have a few HF goodies in my collection, but I had a pretty sizable collection before I really decided to give them a shot. Things I have...
