When I first went on the snap on truck I laughed at all his prices. Then I started using the guys at work snap on stuff....I was hooked. On their ratchets at least. I currently have a FLH80 FLF80 FLL80 and a T72. Until you use a dual 80 snap on ratchet you won't understand...

 

Nice!

 

and for 2nd gens a 35mm, for the axle nuts

 

Have you tried them? Too good to be true i guess.

 

I know I carpenter that has them , he wasn't impressed

 

If you have tools and want to be able to work on your Taco, then you need a good 3 ton floor jack and 4 jack stands that can handle 6 ton loads. The 6ton jack stands are the best compromise of good height off the floor and extra load capacity.

 

Would love to find one of these. This company does stuff like this every so often.

My new favorite hand tool


10- In-1 Multi Bit Drivers, Ratcheting Drivers & Key Drivers
Milwaukee is not just coming out with one 10-in-1 bit driver, they are actually coming out with several models in a couple of versions. They will offer Multi-Bit drivers in a ratcheting or regular non-ratcheting form, with a couple of bit driver combination choices. They will also be offering 10-in-1 Key drivers with your choice of Torx, HEX SAE, or HEX Metric. All models will include 3-1/2-inch power groove bits that can also be easily chucked into your power tools and are chrome plated for rust protection. Both a wire stripper and a wire loop maker are present on the tool as an added convenience. The handles of the drivers have flat spots to accept a wrench, if additional torque is needed.

 

I would be lost without this little gem. The Williams Palmster 3/8 ratchet. Closed for speed, Open for a bit more torque. Awesome.

 

Late but haha..so true! My friend is a mechanic and has all sorts of stuff..he has the S80 and SLL80(the mother of all ratches I called it..) I bought the SL80 since the S80 for me was a bit short for normal stuff I would use it for..he was like..darn you..its the perfect length!..now he wants to get one. Lol

 

^^^^this^^^^

 

Saw this Tape Measure on DIY's "I Want That" Hardware special:
http://www.quickdrawchallenge.com/

It has a graphite wheel that draws a line at the measure point. No need to mark with a pencil.

 

What about a "laser" level that would burn the surface so you have a level line all around your room or wall to put those pictures up

 

Interesting

I do that kinda in reverse with my regular tape where I pinch the desired length with my left hand the the end of the board and use the tape hook to mark

 

pretty cool! lee valley has some good stuff!

 

Yep

I got another big order enroute to my house haha

 

I have a hilti impact driver best tool I have ever bought. A miller 140 welder and a Mac plasma cutter....plasma cutter only cuts 1/8 inch but it is fun.
