My bed is a dealers warehouse

 

[SC-AW11]

Yes considering the SS boxes are new no?

exactly what I was thinking

 

[Subyroo651]

exactly what I was thinking

Yes they are new, they are featured in the recent dealer conference thread right here on GJ

 

[Tx308]

Got tired of the crappy cheap small sets from the big box stores. So when the MAC truck stopped by today I broke down and picked this up. 52 piece quick connect set. Made in China but still lifetime warranty, at least now I won't have to buy a whole new set if one of them fails.

 

[priceman1414]

The former SK torque wrench (inch pound) I ordered ( thanks to a post on the Hot Deal forum) arrived.

 

[rider9195]

explain? looks like new boxes and tools

Dropped my tools off for college. Many other students bought stuff from Snap On and had it shipped there. So none are mine. At least 100 boxes between Snap On and Mac.

Picked up a few things at pawn shops last weekend...

3/8" drive cornwell torque wrench in in/lbs. $30

3/4" drive CDI torque wrench goes up to 600 ft/lbs. Last cal'd in 2010. $60

Old Hinsdale socket set. Circle H logo. About half 6pt and half 4pt. Lots of duplicates. $21.

Got a handful of Proto sockets, and a 1/2" drive pearhead proto ratchet for about $10. Overall was a pretty good day. I have no use for the 4pt sockets, or the 3/4" torque wrench. Just thought they were cool to have for the price.


And came across this sign at a pawn shop.

I hope my ol' lady doesn't see this post

It may be a little long. I have been going a little overboard since I got my new toolbox and got so much more room for tools I didn't have in my smaller boxes. Also my dad gave me some nice tools he hasn't used in years.


I'm not sure who made these inner tie-rod tools but they are made in the USA. My dad gave me these so i'd assume they are Blue Point, Mac, or even Snap on by the looks of his other specialty tools.

My friend gave me the Blue Point impact since he got the new polymer Matco and never used this one to begin with. My dad recently gave me the other 3 tools but i'm not sure who made the 1/4 air ratchet. No markings and the decals are missing.

Everything in here except the Awl is new to me. Dad gave me the 24" Snap on 3/8" extension and Blue Point 1/4" drive thing. Not sure of what it's called, you spin the drive end from the top. The picks, files, pry bars and other little grabber tool are new.

I got a few new ratchets, the Kobal "clearance thread" ones, a Stanley, and the Duralast one from the Hot Rod magazine article. I got a 3/8" and 1/2" 20" extensions, and a bunch of other lengths. Probably half of the other extensions are new to me. Also got the 3/8 HF torque wrench because I was there getting socket rails and it was only 9.99.

About 1/2 of these pictured are new I bet. The impacts and hex are Stanley, the swivels, torx, and 1/2" 12pt's are Craftsman, and some random Kobalts from a kit they had on sale. There's a row of swivels and adapters that are mostly new to me that's hard to see at the bottom. I can't remember where i got the other new ones. Dad gave me the knurled 3/8" "knob" (for a lack of a better term) and that's probably my favorite tool haha

My dad gave me his Mac tappet wrenches and the ignition wrenches. The line wrenches i got on ebay are New Britain and USA made Husky. The Gear Wrenches are new too.

Again, more new Gear wrenches.

The craftsman, except the last one are new.

The craftsman and kobalt stubbies are new. I feel weird only having the metric stubbies so i feel like ill have the standards soon enough.

My dad also gave me a snap-on puller. What a nice guy haha.

My guess would be a High school shop class SCHOOL IS STARTING AGAIN and some school systems like ours try to get the students ready for auto tech after they graduate.

The "Blue Point 1/4" thing" is for adjusting carburetors. It comes in real handy in tight spots too.

Thanks. He told me that too but i totally forgot. Every carb we work on is a 4150, 4412, or similar so it's probably never been used haha.

 

[turdferguson13]

Went to Tigard and this was the only Knipex tool they had left. Almost didn't see it because it was kind of hidden next to the wall of replacement tools. Paid $19.98.

 

[Holt]

What is Tigard?

 

[turdferguson13]

Sorry. Tigard, Oregon.

 

[ChevyEFI]

I dont understand why SK is not still making roto ratchets.

I'm sure during their restructuring and trimming back of product lines they decided to keep what sells and / is profitable. The 3870 had to have been in the midst of a number of competitors undercutting them on price and cutting the sales volume to where it didn't make sense. I think I've had my Great Neck 1/4" roto for 10 years and numerous others make them.

Long-term, I hope they can stick to their ideals (no pun intended) and get people to buy the U.S. tools they make.

Nice!

awesome, this means that a bunch of these boxes will be on craigslist within the next 6 months - a year.

 

[The Ratchet Man]

Been on the look out for a good deal on one of these ratchets. I never did have many 1/4" extensions either. I just solved two problems for the price of one.

 

[G1GRANDEUR]

that's 1/4" drive ratchet? pretty long handle.

Damn, what college? a local college? I go to college too but no one buys boxes, and only a handful of us buy tools from Snap On. I wonder how they're paying for it before the semester even starts (if after I would think financial aid?)

[allinon72]

Picked them up for $14 open box from Amazon.

 

[Fireball027]

Picked up the Snap-on impact gun and Matco right angle drill off kijiji. Paid a 180 for both. Only about 3 months old.

The other is the gearwrench socket set from sears and snap-on pliers from ebay.

 

[nick s]

These are the things i have acquired in the last month or so for the home garage.

princess auto (Canadian harbor fright) trans jack it may be offshore but sure beats using a floor jack



screwdrivers tape measures some pliers and some cheap impact universal sockets


last but not least a small parts washer

Nice! I see some crappy tire tools as well!

 

[nick s]

For some reason i always keep loosing screwdrivers at home so i figured it was time to invest a little in a set and time to start posting all my new stuff

Promo number, would like to hit up my dealer

I'll have to check the box when I get home this evening. This set came from eBay so it might not be available any more. I'll still post the number for you though.

where is that parts washer from? and how much?

 

[NastyN8]

Please excuse the messy garage. I have been out of state for three years

 

[Scout Driver]

$40 for all 9, most are new, some have seen some slight use, like the two stubbies. Only think I didn't like was the Snap On Racing logo, should've kept it simple. Good catch?

I'd say its a good catch! I kinda like the racing logo on them. You did well.

[GarageNewbie24]

Scored a Freud SD606 Dado Set, been wanting one for a while now. Retail is $265 on amazon, scored mine from CL for $100 flat, only used twice.

Close, but college!

Most likely.

Alfred State College. Not local for me. And during orientation Snap On and Mac had displays of their boxes and starter sets that were needed for the course. I would say 80% of the students purchased a box and tools and had it shipped there. No financial aid was available as you mentioned being the semester had not begun yet.

 

[nick s]

awdblazer the parts washer came from the auto parts chain lordco out here in B.C i got it on "super sale" for $60. Imo its the perfect size for at home because my garage is kinda small

 

[awdblazer]

ahh i c i wonder how to varries to the one at pa for 50 on sale next week

 

[Bouchard93]

Just picked these up from a local pawn shop for 200$ out the door they both seems to be only used 1 time & work great , also gotta love the hard shell cases!

Nice. I went to Alfred State for Electrical Construction/Maintenance. A lot of my friends went for Auto tech. The ones who still do mechanics did the Diesel Tech portion and seem to work locally and make a decent living. Be careful eating the food at Wellsville's campus

Kappa U used to have the best parties FYI.
