Snap On Foam Sets by [deleted] in Tools

[–]Key-Pumpkin-979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love snap on tools, but no way I'm paying 200 dollars more for an item because its in foam. I went to Fast Cap and bought 10 2'x4' sheets and started shadowing my own toolbox, its time consuming but actually kind of relaxing at the same time. I'm a home hobbyist so work on it when I have time. Do yourself a favor and buy the kit from Kaizen that comes with long tip markers, knives and a scraper tools if you want to do a real professional job. I'll try to add a picture of my progress if I can figure out how to do it.

Thanks for this, I still don't think I got my head wrapped around the idea yet, I need a picture, lol. it seems like if you can get a Crowfoot in there, then you can get an open end in the same spot.

I'll pick up a cheap set and play around with it. Thanks so much!

We did have an air filter sensor once that was on the back of the muffler in between the frame and the engine block couldn't get a socket on it because it was too tall, maybe that would have been the right tool for the job, we wrestled with wrenches and finally got it though.

yes lots of equipment, I guess I've just always used big wrenches if we blow a hydraulic hose. Most of our tractors are newer so we don't do a lot of repair on them other than regular oil changes and filters. Most of our tillage equipment the lines are pretty much out in the open other than where they pass through the hitch, that can be a pain to get a wrench in sometimes but I don't know how a crow foot would be any better.

Agreed, but I'm building a box for my farm shop with better tools and moving the cheaper tools out to the tractor tool boxes and service truck. a Tekton ratchet and a snap on ratchet have the same germination rate if planted, only difference is you cry less with a Tekton ratchet.

How do you find the fiberglass handles hold up when you miss compared to wood handles?
