Roloc bristle disc and scotch brite disc in addition to the other stuff I’ve shared the following product from Advance Auto Parts: Scotch Brite Roloc Bristle Disc 07527, 3 in. x 5/8 Tapered Medium (sold by each) |...

I used to live off brook forest between evergreen and conifer. We miss living around there, hope to get back someday.

For sure. My mom worked for ll bean for 15 years, five of which was in their warranty department and you’re 100% correct people abused the system. Big difference in my view is that the mark up isn’t enough to pay for three replacements in the future. Haha

This is not true at all. I just got a new set of metric snap on sockets by filing a claim in their website. Totally no questions asked. I even told them I inherited them from my dad. Which is true. They shipped them for free and I got them 3 days after I submitted the claim on the website. Snap...

I feel like I gotta chime in on the Koken ratchets. I’ve got three snap on ratchets: my first was an F80, next was an fhlf80 (my go to), next was a thlf72. I’m an engineer by trade, not a pro mechanic, but I’m working with the tools on my project Land Cruiser, dirtbikes or tractor basically...

Narex are really pretty nice for the price, but if all you’re doing is a single door installation just go buy one from a hardware store. Also, chisel sharpeness isn’t something id necessarily be buying. When I’m looking at chisels it’s all about how they hold an edge. Better off learning to...

The half inch long flex head had a pretty floppy head. Easily fixed with a hammer to tighten up the fork. The ratcheting action is not as nice as a tool truck ratchet, but for what I use a half inch for it’s fine.

Dear Japanese tool nerds - I’m looking to upgrade my inverted flare tool (basic parts store tool junk) and I’m wondering if any of you have found any interesting and well priced alternatives abroad?

I’ve got a Bosch 4.5” angle grinder, big corded drill, 18v drill/impact combo. All the stuff has been great. A story about their warranty: I dropped the grinder and cracked the plastic. I sent them a warranty claim with a picture. They mailed me the new part - I had that thing back up in and...

What do you have for tools currently? My most commonly used woodworking machine is without a doubt the table saw. I’d invest there first unless you’re trying to do scroll work/curves. Even then I’d recommend hand tools over a cheap band saw. It’s hard to advise without understanding what your...

I’ve bought snap on stuff from various drivers by looking them up in the yellow pages or online. They were all more than happy to deal with me. I had to drive to them. Edit: I’d suggest buying from the truck or website. Get an email receipt in case you need to warranty ever. 2nd hand won’t get...

Re: Knipex Bottle Openers: Possible Group Buy? If it’s less than 30 (to my door) I’m in.

Get a used one. Where I go they trade it out for there own instead of refilling

I got a few for my 4x4 box. Good in a pinch not great.

I put an Ac condenser between the pump and tank. I put the hot side in top, bottom is cooled air. After the exit at the lowest point I put in a water trap. Works mint. I very rarely get any water out of the tank when I drain it.

Supply and demand my guy. If people don’t buy it. It won’t be expensive. I only own a few snap on tools and they’re some of the best tools I own. Probably besides my lie Nielsen wood working tools. You’re definitely getting into diminishing returns with their products, but they’re really nice...

I’m going through the same process right now. I’m leaning to snap on XDLRM but probably gonna gradually piece a set together. I work on mostly older Toyota’s so 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 to start. I found the TONE RMA400 set. Looks like a nice quality tool, but not a complete set or cheap...

Got the Ernst now. It’s good, but I’m in process of switching to the VIM mag rails. Spendy, but awesome. The twist lock on the Ernst is nice, but can be a pain when your hands are covered in oil/grease. With the VIM, you can rock the socket loose easily. The magnets are also really strong. For...

I think it has more to do with the calibration than the manufacturer. Not sure about torque wrenches but all our old processes had to be certified where I used to work(Collins aerospace). Be it torquing stuff or loading software.
