I want your job..

Wanna trade?


What exactly does "Heavy Line" mean, is it in-depth engine/gearbox/suspension work?

sorry... my boss like me and want keep me there.. he are glad that he hired me...

most of time i work are serious engine repairs like tear down the engines in vehicles, swap engine for new engine as customers request or Airport request... I just got 2006 E350 that need new engine because Indianapolis Airport keep driving the E350 and just happen to locked up but what i was told that they did serviced it but they found out it has no oil in engine... they want me to replace the engine...

right now i need finish put all parts back on 2001 Lincoln LS 3.9L engine because secondary tensioner's plastic broke off on left cylinder head and let secondary chain loose. i did tested the cylinder leakdown, all exhaust valves are bent. so i did pulled head out and check on pistons- it is good. machine shop did rebuilt it after they did test the valves- they had to replaced all valves. so i only need put some of parts back before i can start it and drive out... then i can start to pull engine out of E350... i already like to do engine replacements... because i keep myself busy while other techs are sit and waiting for next work to do...

Yes and no. I personally am not supposed to sell Snap-on over the internet. If you want to visit my website and register as one of my customers and place an order then I will get credit for the sale I will be grateful.

My Cornwell dealer told me he wasn't supposed to sell online either. he can buy tools and sell them to whomever he wants technically. He just cannot have an official website store.

I buy from Snap-on online sometimes, I will check with you before the next time I order, so as you can get credit.:beer:

i am still single but i dont even start to date a girl.... too busy for me right now... i am still enjoy riding my harley and keep wrenching.... most of my friends already either date or married... they keep ask me when i will date a girl...

"Working" would be putting it softly, it's covered in dents and scratches, even the top of the lid is scratched down to the metal. The side has a nice dent and scrape in it from when it fell over when i was loading it into a van. It sure aint "clean". :)

How would you like pics of my ~225 Snap-on hard handles? ;)

Yes, Yes I would, Also you lucky B@stard. I wish I could get my hands on that many.

all right i dont have a pictures... but i will borrow my parent's digital camera to do... sorry

You should just go back tonight and get the picks, you don't want a tool mob on your hands do you? we don't use Pitch forks and lanterns. We come with 3/4" drive power bars and Oxy fuel torch's.

cab puller
there was no used tools when I was buying them --- my snappy man drives a lamborghini now .........

My Snap On Guy does not have any used tools or box's, Makes me sad.

You have much to learn, young grasshopper, i will teach you. ;)

I recently acquired a new orange set and a new (in plastic wrap) yellow set, oh and a new green ratcheting one. As well as many many others. Expect to see some new ratchet transplants too soon! :)

Here's the new home box, she looks pathetically empty. It's not organized yet, but this will have to do. I need more aluminum angle for the socket drawer, get all the foam wrench/screwdriver holders in, shadow all the pliers/hammers, etc.

Can you please tell us about that looooooong what appears to be 3/8" ratchet?

Maybe 1/2" can't tell...???

Depends on which one you are talking about.

looks like the current version. long with swivel head and comfort grip handle.

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...group_ID=21365&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

If you're referring to the green handled one, this applies, but mine is the older 936.

I think your looking at the wrong one.I beleive he's refering to the looong homemade 1/2" dr that Nissan made from a HF breaker bar and a broken torque wrench.It's at the bottom of the pic against the edge of the drawer.

Otherwise, this is spot on. Craftsman torque wrench + HF breaker bar.

A little rant...just have to point this out...
It's not Eastwing; it's Estwing!

I use their shingler's hatchet. It's awesome and holds up to A LOT of abuse.

:wtf: Geez man, every time I turn around you are trying to correct me. I guess you finally got me on this one.

Thought I would go ahead and finish out pictures of the bottom of this craftsman box. If you like to treasure hunt old tools from pictures, you should be entertained...

not very organized lol

Genius can see through the chaos! and besides Old men are allowed to have em like that, Its a right.
