DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

The screwdrivers were easy because Witte's name is etched into them. Alot of the tools are like that. Most of the tool truck air tools are made by ingersoll rand (honestly I wouldnt buy anything but IR anyways unless its something cheap enough to throw away, but thats IMO). IIRC gearwrench owns the patent so any ratcheting wrench is going to be at the very least the same design. Ive always just bought the gearwrench brand when they were on sale and ive never had an issue with them. I think Snap On is the only one that manufactures their own sockets/ratchets. Sunex makes the sockets/ratchets for Matco and Cornwell. A little googling and searching around garagejournal.com usually brings good results.

 

Cool. I've never really torn into it too much, but rebadging is nothing new. Remember when the RMZ/KX were the same bike? Those were dark days.

 

Oh hey there Zac... Good to see you.

 

I would love to invest in Snap-on tools but man are their prices steep lol I may just buy specialty tools from Snap On if anything

 

I never got into bikes. Messed with some mid 80's ATV's for a bit and had an unfortunate incident with a Banshee in high school. Id love my 1985 Honda FL350R Odyssey back.

 

I have a friend who flipped his Polaris Predator, which resulted in him landing on his back on some rocks... Bad juju... He is paralyzed from the chest down. I really enjoyed quads, but it wasn't the same after that. Plus, my kids were little at the time, so I gave them up.

 

I was going full tilt across a buddies field on his Banshee and found a stump the hard way. After I spent 3 weeks layed up and paid him for the repairs, quads never really did it for me. My problem is I get too comfortable on stuff like that and start being dumb. After 30 minutes on a waverunner in Hawaii, 2nd time riding one in my entire life.....I had it full throttle for about half a mile. Lol.

 

That's the side effect of being 8ft tall and bullet proof. Funny how I grew out of that when stuff started hurting for longer....

 

The kids? Smart. I couldn't imagine NOT riding.

 

Haha... Yeah... There are days when I'd like nothing more than a long ride to clear the head and then come home to a quiet house... But I'd miss them. They're pretty fun for the most part.

 

Thats the truth. It takes me extra long because of all the dumb stuff I did growing up. Skateboarding, bmx, inline skating, atv's.... etc. Basically I grew up in the golden era of the x games and wanted to try EVERYTHING those guys did. Now I can hurt myself getting out of bed.

 

Same dude.... I carried a sheet of plywood on Saturday. My back is still pissed! Getting old sucks!

You kids get off my lawn!

 

Them tax breaks tho....

 

I have about 15k invested in snap on that now just sit in the corner..its nice when they break cause I get a new one

 

ftfy

 

O I've got way more in strap ons..its brown eye opening when you see them

 

No, but I remember when Garth Brooks and Chris Gaines were the same person.

 

ummm… OOO KAAAAAYYYY....

 

I don't know who Chris Gaines is, but I know that I don't like country music. So there's that.
