Emailed Snap-on yesterday morning about my older 388CF dull cutters. Today UPS dropped off my replacement 388ACF. Reason why I love ordering from website, get next day delivery in my area on in stock items.

I have that same exact set. It has saved me COUNTLESS times! I dunno what I’d do without it!figure ill join the club with some thread chasers
I always chase threads now. Especially now that I’m in the rust belt. Clean threads are a MUST!

Got my Pine Hallow Auto Diagnostic pressure transducer setup. On a recent diagnosis of an oil pressure concern, I nearly threw my old transducer power supply out into the parking lot due to issues.
So I bought this kit. Includes a power supply powered by a 9v battery, a 200psi and 30 psi transducer. The 30 psi transducer is absolute, and I have to imagine the 200 is as well otherwise it wouldn't show cylinder vacuum. Luckily the connector on the PHAD kit appears identical to my cheapo amazon transducers, so I have a few other ranges I can use. Very excited to grab a waveform.

Good thing I have honest neighbors. Lol. New UPS guy dropped my stuff at their house lol. All showed up today. Lang 277 ratcheting caliper compressor. Personally it’s my favorite type and I wanted the Lang to make sure I was getting a quality one. Also two eBay hammers a Blue Point 12oz and a True Temper 16oz. Ordered 10 hammers total rest will be delivered over the next week or so. I collect vintage hammers, previously I only had two in my collection so I’m happy to add these though I am tempted to use the 12oz at work as I don’t have that size yet which is why I bought it. Also bought a 20oz Blue Point as well because I didn’t have it. 10 hammers and $111 later lol. Shipping on eBay is what kills it. I got the funniest look from my parents ever lol they said so you bought used hammers on eBay? I said yeah why. They are like that’s kind of strange to buy a hammer on eBay I said well I got 8 more coming so nothing strange here.

1/4 Gearwrench digital torque wrench. Only took 3 months on back order from Zoro.
Haven’t had a chance to put it through it’s paces but overall seems like nicer construction than my HF Eclatorqs.

LOL gotta love that line. "Right, it LOOKS the same, but this hammer actually......"
I have 3 slide hammers. Currently looking at buying a 4th set. Actually the inner bearing race puller probably counts as a slide hammer too. Yeah, well, still looking at that 5th set.

Nice! Blake would you mind measuring the plates on that Lang caliper compressor? I’m trying to figure out our much smaller it is than my Snap-on… Thanks!

While not extravagant, it was the most needed tool today. This is to pull the timing gear off the VP44. The work space is not much unless you pull the radiator. This made quick work out of it. I was actually stagnated doing the work because I could not pull the gear lol. This is going into my road box that I keep in the truck. That way if I need it while traveling, it’s there. I don’t expect to have a need to pull a VP44 on the side of the road, but stranger stuff has happened!

Indeed, even a little rust under those clips can cause the clips to not sit exactly right, and thus restrict the free movement of the pads. I use that mk file to take the caliper down to clean metal everytime.

The ultimate is putting a cut-off wheel on a 1/4hp+ full size straight die grinder. No guard, so you can see what you're doing, use the edge of the wheel to grind the BS away. I can do one bracket with all of the hardware surface ground to clean shiny metal in 10 seconds. Really nasty ones take 30 seconds. 100% perfect clean metal, apply your grease of choice, then hardware. Outside a sand blaster, I can't think of a way to get a better finish vs. time involved.
I bought the mueller kueps file, but it's just too slow and delicate. For tight areas, I use 1/8 carbide burrs. The Mueller Keups file is pretty good for toyota 4 pot calipers, especially if they brake line is super rotten and you're just pad slapping anyways. Problem is around here they're usually so crusty I need carbide to get a good fit anyways.

Funny, I clicked on the picture before I read your reply and I was like I bet that is for a VP44.
I think pulling the gear off and making sure you don't loose the key is the worst part of that job.

Yeah, smooth sailing as long as that key don’t drop.
I pulled the VP out, and the key was not in the shaft! Checked the gear groove, and it wasn’t there either.
After a shower, and a change of shorts, I was able to barely see it in a mirror. It was on the back ledge of the timing cover. I didn’t have any small enough magnets to fit between the gear and the cover, so I had to get creative. I magnetized a hook tool and picked it up that way.
Went and changed my shorts again, then came back and finished the install lol
She’s running now, but I’m not happy with the fuel pressure. I have the FASS to install still, as I think the culprit is the DDRP.
If only there was a tool that would do the work for me. But it’s me. I’m the tool hahahahahahahahaha

Decided to try something and it worked.
This:
… plus this:
… equals the smallest-headed long neck 3/8” battery ratchet on the market, with zero modifications needed. The “tall shift knob” assembly intended for the new high speed 3/8” ratchet is a direct fit:
I went with the “tall” shift knob because I love how easy it makes operating the switch, especially with gloves:
It’s not as fast as my Snap-on CTR717 1/4” long neck (250 RPM vs the Snap-on’s 350) but it’s a little stronger, and that’s why I wanted to try to convert it into my long neck 3/8” ratchet. Pretty happy with the result.

How do you like the long neck 1/4? I just bought the standard length 1/4 and can already tell the long neck may be a very nice addition. I eyed the Milwaukee versions for so long but always came back to the Snap-ons.

In 3/8” form, it’s great. I say that because it’s a little slower, bigger (in length as well as girth), heavier, but more powerful than my CTR717. That’s fine in 3/8” form, but if I was comparing this as a 1/4” drive ratchet vs the CTR717, the Snap-on is superior in every way.

Snap-on comfort grip pick set. From eBay. I like this handle I was going to buy a hard handle set but found a really good deal on these because they are pretty much new. Let’s just say I got yelled at by some people for paying $50 for them but a lot of it was shipping and in my opinion it’s a good deal because it’s still cheaper than the truck, I can get them warrantied if needed and this handle is discontinued so it’s kind of cool anyway. I wanted to upgrade from my Icon set they are nice but just don’t stand up well especially the 90 degree pick which I’ve had to bend back into place several times. I will keep the Icon set in the box and these will be my everyday in the cart.
Also had some vintage tools from a member on this forum come in I paid for them it’s a good number of sockets and a big wrench and I think a brake spoon and extension for my P&C Tools collection. Also had 8 hammers come in today too. And yeah you can imagine they didn’t like that either and told me I’m a fool in a very loud voice lol
. I will post the hammers later when I can get some pictures. They are upset because I didn’t ask permission to buy anything. They came home to 6 boxes sitting there 5 of which were mine 
.Edited because I copied this from my other forum and forgot to edit it for this one referring to the other one lol
. Is it Friday yet?
