B1356E brake spring retainer tool. Got it with a Formula Vee that I bought a few years ago. Never did brakes on the car, sold the car and still have the tool in my tool chest. Will probably never get used again in my lifetime.

Ha, a specialty wrench, c shaped, for flathead ford work. Been quite a few years!

If you ever have to service a trailer with electric drum brakes you'll probably need it so hang on to it.

I've used my SO B1356E more times than I can count. There's still a lot of drum brakes on the road.
As far as nevertheless used SO, I would have to say my ratcheting adapters....

Its a toss up between the Detroit Diesel 71 series injector / rack tools set and the Chrysler ball joint Socket for the screw in type on 70's pickups ( may cover more, but never had any newer one)....neither one has been used in 10 years at least....

I'd have to say the 3/8 drive chrome 18mm half-deep universal socket I got for old Ford Taurus front motor mounts, Borrowed these several times long ago, bought one for myself and never used it since.

The rest of my metric wrench set. I bought the 10-19 set and have only used the 15mm.

have you got a part number or picture of this socket please?
My small snap-on collection consists mostly of wrenches--all bought used. I decided to treat myself to good wrenches after getting frustrated with the junk I had. I don't wrench for a living, so aside from helping family members do things I don't see the huge variety of cars, trucks, equipment, etc. that some of you do.
Some of the standard set combo haven't been used yet. I don't think I'm touched more than a few of the flare wrenches on the metric side of things and none of the standard ones yet. They're there if I need them though.

I have that socket too - have yet to do a Subie head gasket job. My Atech is 3/8 drive, so I'm trying to figure out if it will even be a help lol.

Click the link lol. But it's part number S6214. Places the head of the torque wrench above the spark plug tunnels/rocker arms, but not so far that it hits the rear unibody, which is impossible to get with a deep socket.

The torque procedure is STOOPID haha. The SO Techangle is a must because of multiple 90 degree and 180 degree turns both clockwise and counterclockwise. My first one I literally suffered thru, because of not having the Techangle. If I do another I'm dropping the money for the wrench and saving the headache

So in other words, I'll be buying a 1/2" techangle.

Unless you are damn good at guessing angles, or remove the engine and install ARP studs, only about and additional 1.75 hours of work, but takes away the excuse to buy a badass tool. Here is the sequence stolen from google, without the picture.
1) Tighten all bolts to 29 N-m (3.0 kgf-m, 22 ft-lbs) in alphabetical sequence.
2) Then tighten all bolts to 69 N.m (7.0 kgf-m, 51 ft-lbs) in alphabetical sequence.
3) Back off all bolts by 180" first; back them off by 180" again.
4) Tighten the bolts (a) and (b) to 34 N-m (3.5kgf-m, 25 ft-lb).
5) Tighten the bolts (c), (d), (e) and (f) to 15 N.m (1.5 kgf-m, 11 ft-lb).
6) Tighten all bolts by 80 to 90" in alphabetical sequence.
CAUTION: Do not tighten the bolts more than 90".
7) Further tighten all bolts by 80 to 90" in alphabetical sequence.
CAUTION: Ensure the total "re-tightening angle" [in the former two steps], do not exceed 180".

Its certainly something I dont use a lot.
This falls in there somewhere especially applying to general brake service on 10 yr old fleet stuff. We can be custom if we need to be but I rarely buy line by the roll anymore, stock some pieces of various length and a few couplings, come close enough.
A lot of these fall in to tools you got to have but don't use, I am sure this not only relates to snapon but in general. A crowsfoot is a poster child for that, bet most of them in the world never get used? Great product to sell and warranty huh? 85% of the set sits in a box which cost money,,, hahaha

If you still have this tool and you are open to parting ways with this tool, I can give it a new home and will definitely be of good use.Blue point ya8890 I think.

24" breaker bar. If the 16" doesn't get it, I'm probably getting a cheater involved.

Breaker Bar. Little to no use when the SLX80 and M18 line exists.
Those of you that hardly ever use torque wrenches are 1,012% wrong.

I bought the full set of connector depinning tools, but I mostly disassemble them all with one single tool from the kit and a pocket screwdriver. Oh well, I've warrantied the few I use enough times to end up ahead.

I had a hunch they would discontinue the ignition coil flag-pickup, so I bought one. Well I was wrong. Have yet to use it as i have a paddle probe and a set of 4 pico branded secondary leads. I bought S6560 after a run of rear wheel bearing jobs, have not had one since.

24“ braker bar, keep on using the 24“ ratchet instead. 3/8 in 1/4 body ratchet is also seldom used.

Twenty plus years ago I worked the flight line, we weren't allowed cordless tools, so speed handles were king. I haven't used this in years.
Also, this 1/8" wrench that was awesome for getting to lock nuts on cannon plug mounting hardware. I don't even remember the last time I used it.

1/2" drive deep socket set. Was gifted to me by one of the partners in our race shop, but in 20+ years i think i have only used the 5/8 and 9/16. Guess I am a 3/8 and 1/4" drive guy.

Toss up between the brake service set and the NOS old style hard handle nut drivers that I don't have a picture of.
They both live in the overflow box.

Same on the ratcheting screwdriver. Got one and have used it maybe twice. Just sits around.
