  1. The prices of reman axles these days,not worth changing the boots on them and don't need this tool.Better off buying a reman or new axle,save time doing it this way.All you do is pop the old axle out and install the new or reman axle.
  2. Mac Ratchets,30 weight oil only and I use regular engine oil for them.I have read this in the instructions of the ratchet repair kits for Mac's hand ratchets.Have fixed a couple Mac ratchets myself getting the kits for free from Mac tools after calling them
  3. I don't like the spiral easy outs,expand on the broken fastners too much.The straight flutes are better.There is the mig welder metheod too if part of the broken off bolt sticks out,welding a nut on it and this does work.
  4. Snap On now checks boxes too for a reason why from dealers that send broken tools replaced under warranty to Snap On.One ex dealer decided to mix rocks with broken tools to Snap On this way and did not get away with it.Lost his franchise and no longer a dealer.Snap On dealer down the road in my area told me about this.My father had a Snap On dealer come around,kicked him out in 1998.Was not coming around and treated my father like crap,bad service.Came back one day,my father told him there is the door and don't come back.I only had to send in one broken Proto Challenger socket into Proto so far.Have a Matco tool dealer coming in every Friday now,nothing but great service from him and he is this way.Believes in treating the customer right.Have had Mac and Cornwell come in,did not last and I send broken Mac and Cornwell tools in to get replaced.
  5. Hello,I am Walter and and I am a 34 year old toolaholic.I get called "Tim the toolman Taylor" a lot by a neighbor of mine.I am a mechanic for a living.Mostly Mac,Snap On,Cornwell and mostly Matco at work including Knipex.My home tools are the same as my work tools.I like my Fein Multimaster,best power tool I ever purchased in my life
  6. Snap On,they don't cover anything wore out and you have to break the tool to replace it.With Snap On,they are way overpriced and the wrench handles for the smaller wrenches are too pointy hurting your hand.
  7. Knipex,Craftsman,SK and the tooltruck brands.Snap On has changed their warranty twice.First one was dealer pulling the not purchased from me excuse and there are a couple dealers in my area pulling this that are still doing this.Now a reciept is needed or tool does not get fixed or replaced,cracking down on people buying from the second hand market.My father even knows a shop owner in Big Rapids,Mi that took care of a problem with the Snap On dealer that comes around.An employee of his had a ratchet that was slipping and this dealer said there was nothing wrong with it.This shop owner witnessed this happening,slipped 5 times giving this employee busted knuckles twice.Did not call Snap On's service about this problem.Had a talk with this dealer and gave him an ultimatuim: fix the ratchet or he was done stopping by.Ended up fixing the ratchet and this stopped ever since.
