I work on some concrete pumps full of Walterscheid hose ends requiring up to a 65mm wrench. The little bit of searching I did DIN 894 is a German standard for open end wrenches. Work has some stamped made in India that may or may not be there when you need them though they are still in decent...

Air hammer is where it's at. Not sure if they'll ever be able to release an electric/ cordless hammer or needle scaler. My air hammer has saved a ton of wear and tear on my body.

Snapon and Williams parts are interchangeable. My snapon guy has put a blade in a Williams screwdriver for me. Are they the same exact quality? I'm not sure though a good snappy rep may take care of you if you break a Williams screwdriver. I've started using my snapon ratcheting screwdriver a...

Are they BSPP or BSPT? Parallel (PP) use a sealing washer, taper (PT) uses the taper. I know for a fact shoving a 1/2" NPT plug into a 1/2" BSPP port does not seal. Some yahoo did that to the screw drain plug hole on a crapco at work. It doesn't seal and will be a pain in the *** to fix right...

I finally got a chance to grab some more crappy pictures. Attempt 1 during bad winds the 2 tents blew apart. I ended up putting in some eye bolts to allow the overlapped tent to pull forward, from the factory they mount to the legs, it was pulling it backwards. We also got the side braces pulled...

I picked up one of the snappy you linked. It's been a decent torque wrench. Mine was on special on the truck, I can't remember how much off though I want to say $50-100 off. My coworker picked one up barely used off the truck as a trade in for $200 or $250. It wouldn't hurt to see if your dealer...

Most tool truck dealers are pretty good about getting debt covered and if necessary repossessing tools. Snapon truck retail prices are set by snapon corporate, not the franchisee. The truck can't jack prices through the roof because he has a lot of defaults. The majority of trucks are...

What are you talking about? Financing on a truck account is 0%. The only thing most guys pay actual interest on is tool boxes, high dollar scan tools, and shop equipment which can be close to credit card interest, it currently ranges from 10-25% depending on credit score. Buying a ratchet on...

Looks like the proto set is $254 from Circle C Supply. I have the proto set at work, it's a decent set, not sure if it's worth $100 more than the icon set.

I guess I should put up the final pictures now that I've been at work for a week. It was a whirlwind to get it done. The boat didn't go in till after dark. Parking on 2x12's worked for now. I'll try and get some more pictures next time I'm home. The boat in it's home

Temporary is the easiest solution, there's no permits required for a fence or boat tent, I built 2 fences with boat tents sent on top. I'm not sure I could permit anything permanent. The way my lot is shaped I'm pretty well SOL, this layout is pretty close to my lot line set backs in spots. I...

A little back story. We live in Juneau, Alaska. It rains a lot and ocasionally snows, we have a couple 60' pine trees constantly dropping tree parts everywhere. Our old boat was a 17' alumaweld with a soft top. If you put a tarp on a soft top boat up here the snow load will kill the top if you...

Snapon, lifetime warranty. Break a chisel or even just screw up the tip, my guy will give me a new one. If you don't use them often it's probably not worth the money.

Automotive engine rebuilding tools. Now days in a shop it's almost always slap a reman in instead of rebuilding. Speed handles for sockets Air ratchets Pass through sockets, ratcheting wrenches have replaced them in 95% of applications. I work at a gold mine doing repairs on anything without...

This chart is handy. I have it up on my tool box and used it the other day. There reaches a point where it's just not economical to have both metric and standard. I work on a couple German concrete pumps. There's a lot of 36, 41, 46, 55, 60, and 65mm fasteners on it. I go up to 32mm in metric...

By angled wrench do you mean 4 way/ angle wrench or just the open end of a combo wrench? A snapon/ tekton 30/60 degree angle wrench is made for that situation. After having 15/60 degree angle wrenches there's a dead zone that doesn't exist with the 30/60's.

I didn't NEED my snapon tool box, I wanted it At work I find buying more tools I want creates a need/ niche my coworkers don't have the tools to do. 90% of my work is done with the junk in my tool bag or about a dozen other tools.

I used to work at a small compressor shop and currently take care of a dozen crapco rotary screws from 7.5hp to 250hp at this mine. We had a lot of 120k+ hour compressors, many of them with factory air ends/ bearings/ motors and minimal repairs we maintained at the compressor shop. Our main line...

I take it you don't turn wrenches for a living? I work on industrial junk for a living, think big, heavy, and usually screwed up. Tools I have to push the limits of I buy good tools. When I'm putting everything I have on a 54" pry bar or 24" ratchet I want the best I can buy. If they let loose...
