    Astro Pneumatic Tool Company

    Anybody try the Astro Goliath Impact Extensions yet? They look burly; looking for feedback on their effectiveness to transfer more torque to the bolt head.

    First sign of the G2 Icon ratchets ….

    I noticed this same flange on the back side of the anvil and milled slot in the head on my Capri soft handle ratchets, when I opened them up to apply Superlube. To me there’s not too much difference in appearance between the guts of these G2 Icons and the Capri soft handles, besides the...

    Snap-on hard handle part numbers

    I realize this thread is a couple of months old, but I have a question about these handles. Will these hard handles fit on a comfort grip handle thl72 ratchet, and will a comfort grip handle fit on a thld72 ratchet? As in: are the thl72 and thld72 ratchets the same or different lengths inside...

    Canadians - Where are you buying your tools, eh?

    Lordco, KMS in Kelowna, and the Snap-On Truck. I don't buy anything from C-Tire at any price.

    suggestions on ratcheting wrench's?

    I add another vote for Blackhawk. My set is my favorite tools. Guys at work have snap-on and bue-point, and agree that the Blackhawks are superior. The reason is that the wrenches are thinner around the outer bezel at the box end, which allows use in tighter access situations. Cheaper too, of...

    Tool truck exchange?

    Buy something off the truck, then do your trade. Makes you look like you aren't there for a free trade-in service. You need something else off there anyway. My dealer welcomes trade-ins, takes new items straight across, and even has a "used" drawer where the used trade-ins go. It is the first...

    Back to the original post: SO 4 way wrenches, chrome universal sockets, and an interchangeable shank screwdriver set. No Mac, Cornwell, or Matco in my area so I can't comment on any of the other brands.

    tool truck brand must have's

    Well, so they do. ATD-1181 Set. Here's a review that someone posted up about the set on amazon: "Very good wrenches, quality control was non existent, but for 50 dollars you cant beat it, while the snap on ones cost 800 dollars. Will recommend them to anyone. Also comes with a great pouch as...

    Broke my first Snap-on Wrench today

    Everything breaks. I work on $8,000,000 helicopters, and you should see how often something breaks. The owners seem to accept high cost items breaking, and life limited parts, as it is just the cost of doing business, with no warranty either. This is why you paid the money. Your dealer will...
