    Special, Odd, or Limited Run Snap On tools

    Started buying Snap-on black band metric sockets off the truck between 1972-1974. I had an interest in European and Japanese motorcycles at the time, so collected 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive sets over the course of several years. Still use them routinely to this day. Compared to modern chrome...

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    Here is my restored Ingersoll-Rand, 1-1/2 HP, T30 compressor, circa 1939. I painted it with Dupont Imron, color "Guards Red" left over from some work on a Porsche 944 several years ago. The GE motor loups along at 1760 RPM and is very quiet. I use it primarily for bead blasting.
