I was an an old Antigue shop that sells a bunch of junk and cheap used furniture. There was a cardboard box with about a 100 sockets inside of it and the box said 25 cents a piece. Was digging around and found this old "Snap-On" 3/8" square pipe plug socket and it looks like it was never used. I was like hell yeah score! 25cents why not!! Funny thing is there is no date stamp on it? I have seen snap on tools before with no date stamp. What does this mean?

I've been using these since Christmas and they great. I wish the fitment was tighter on fasteners but all in all are awesome.

Btw they're a good amount longer than the fixed head version.

3/8 drive and so far very pleased with its bit of use, almost small enough to get into all the places you need. I can see this being a go too tool.

Did we ( collectively ) ever figure out what, if any difference there is between the blue Makita and the black Makita ? ( other than color )

Scored a bunch of free NOS SK stuff from a buddy who used to be a dealer and was cleaning house.

Hi,

Posting something like this is just plain mean spirited; it hurts to look at and think about. Oh, the agony...How many of us old timers wish we could go back in time and clean out the corner hardware store that carried SK back in the '70s? That is where I bought my very first SK tool; it was the 1/4" ratchet. I still have it and it is like new. Hell, at that time it took many weeks of selling newspapers to by a single wrench.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My nos Allens came in a little while ago.
I needed my off sizes, the non normal mm sizes i grab the adjustable for.
A black oxide finished 32mm. Beautiful chrome 30mm, 29mm, and 27mm.Then my new favorite style wrenches, pebble(ish) finished 25mm, and 23mm.
All are Usa Allen Brand wrenches. Cripes of course. Horribly packaged though.

I've got a few sets of GW mid length sockets along with one of their soft handle/curved 3/8" drive ratchets. Love that thing.. It comes in the spark plug kit along with some spark plug sockets that have magnets in them. The sockets also have universal joints / extensions built on to them so they don't come off while you're in some crazy angle trying to get to spark plugs

Def. worth what they cost! I use that ratchet more than any other right now.

Very nice! Although I never found a use for a stubby ratchet. Ended up selling mine last year

I've been wanting to standardize all my cordless tools for a while. Last week I finally decided to go all Milwaukee. My first purchases showed up today. 3/8 ratchet and impact, and fuel drill. So far I'm very happy with my choice.

Sorry for the upside down pic. I can't get it to rotate on my phone...

I love my Milwaukee power tools. I had Bosch, Makita and Dewalt. Dropped them all and standardized on Milwaukee M12 & M18. I still need the M18 Fuel 3/8 Impact, but I have an extra 1/2" Drill and 1/4" Hex Impact. I forgot how that happened. :eyecrazy:

My infrared thermometer died on me, needed a couple larger sizes of stubby wrenches too.



Bought these to use at work, going to put my other short handle ratchets in the home and truck boxes.

Here are a LOT more photos I just put up for the original thread:
http://garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4665375&postcount=140

The ratchets are the older Snappy 36 tooth design, which are still insanely smooth. I absolutely love them.

I fully agree. I did the red love lube in them and they are butter smooth. IMO, with 36 teeth, I'd lean on it much harder than the same config but dual 80. I bet the bolts holding the plate on would pop before anything else.

Very nice...I'm gonna have to get some long picks now.
You do know if you take them out of the plastic boxes you will get half your drawer back? Try it....it's magic!!
Haha those plastic cases can be nice but they take up ridiculous room

You attach a socket to it, I use it to drive balljoints, bushings and bearings. Also works very well against seized Macpherson strut bolts and trailing arm bolts, spin the nut on and drive it out with a socket.

This is the 3rd time I had to warranty it.

What's the part number on that and who makes it? If I had only known they existed, I could have used it a dozen times.
