    Who makes this Snap-on bronze hammer?

    I have that exact hammer. In fact, I had the orange version since the 90’s, and broke the handle about 4 years ago. My local Snap-on guy replaced it on warranty, no questions asked. Also, that hammer is worth every penny of what they are asking for it. Bang around some open fuel areas where...

    Thoughts on tekton's new 1/4 torque wrench

    There's a brand called Pressa that provides a good 1/4 drive torque wrench that's the older deflecting beam style wrench. When it come to small increments such as 10ft pounds or less, this is my go to torque wrench. It's accurate and made pretty well. It's hard to justify Snap-on or CDI prices...

    New(er) Snap-On Special General Service Sets - Questions

    Beautiful sets I say. I have similar sets, but I had to build my sets one component at a time buying socket sets individually from ratchets and breaker bars). About the only thing I did differently is I went with mid-length sockets rather than standard shallow. In my experience, I haven't been...

    How often do you use the OPEN end of a wrench??

    Been a long time since I've wrench professionally. That said, I didn't use open end much, but when I did, it was a life saver. In my particular experience, I used Snop-on Flank Drive Plus wrenches and the open end with the teeth were life savers on rounded nuts and bolts. There were fasteners...

    Ingersoll Rand Impact China?????

    Skookum1: you mentioned that there has never been a PC entirely made in the USA. That would be incorrect. In fact my Uncle Rodney ran a company that engineers the computers this country uses to control and intra connect missle defense systems. Every single part (processors, micro processors...

    How do you store your decoys?

    I use Texas rigs on my decoys, so I ended up using a nail in the rafters or the garage and hang them by a carbiner. Not a bad way to go and what's nice is you can hang them anywhere. Obviously if we're talking standing decoys, it's a different situation. One which I haven't had to deal with as...

    I think I was ripped off on AC repair with $185 capacitor

    You got service inside of a 2 hour window and you are complaining about the price? Let me put it this way...when one of my clients calls and asks for my service, no problem I charge then normal pricing. When they want my service inside a 2 hour window, the price just tripled. Why? Because I'm...

    Snap-On Surprise

    You know, in the end, after we've breathed our last breath, we all have to stand in front of the man upstairs and account for our lives and actions. I'd do exactly what the OP did. Doesn't matter what's in it for me here...it's what awaits afterwards that I'm concerned about. My hats off to...

    Peace of mind under a Maxjax

    Not that I'm smart enough to have figured out what 52 wrench has already figured out, but I can answer the question of why alter. Brand new lift: it's because the newest greatest stuff can always be improved. That's why there is newer and greater things later down the road. For all we know, 52...

    Speeder Wrench

    Auto trans rebuilds. Taking them apart it's 3/8 and 1/4 impact. Putting them together; Always use a speeder and a 1/4 drive torque wrench. Keeps me out of trouble. Especially with valve bodies.

    Pass through socket set

    I have a VW With the same config as Loscaldazar's Subaru example. I went the Gedore route (compares to Hazet, Stahlwille and other German Brands). Only needed to buy one deep 60 degree offset wrench. Problem solved for less than 30 bucks and it's an extremely high quality tool to boot!

    Need help locating these........

    I wont be any help in locating these socket holders for you, but I will say that the Black ones that come with socket sets are awesome. I love that they hold the sockets in place very well, while still making it easy to quickly grab the socket you need.

    Friend can't decide between cordless vs. corded impact wrench...

    I have a pretty complete air tool set up right now and I'm very happy with it. However I recent picked up a dewalt impact driver and was very surprised with the results. I would be inclined to pick up the 1/2 in drive dewalt cordless and give it a try. If it's anything like the Impact driver...
