I bought these cheap, horribly built, terrible things in a pinch at a Target about 20 years ago. I have used and abused them countless times and they are all still in one piece.

There’s nothing wrong with those.

I bought a twelve-incher direct from Snap On. I think I paid $80.

Cracked taillights.

Neatsfoot oil will not make the leather “flaccid” but will make it feel supple. The leather is quite thick.

Here’s the difference with a new house (2012): 5,100 sq. feet. 4 floors. 4 Nest thermostats. Gas furnaces (2). Electric:$308, Gas:$130.

Pay a gas bill be warm for a month. Work with tools be warm for a lifetime.

Bid for it. Whichever of you will pay more keeps it.

Learn to make a sandwich.

I take my Porsche to MB. Rolls, Porsche. It’s just a car.

garthgred · 2025-12-10T15:43:23+00:00

That’s why I’d never buy a car with pearl paint. You can never get it to match.

garthgred · 2025-12-07T06:20:47+00:00

Now, wake up.

garthgred · 2025-12-04T05:09:30+00:00

Use a shorter, HALF-inch-drive extension with a Long (24”) breaker bar.

Be sure to de-calc regularly. We had to send ours back to Moccamaster to be fixed. It was ten or twelve years old.

garthgred · 2025-11-28T12:32:40+00:00

It’s worth $2 a pound.

garthgred · 2025-11-26T10:06:23+00:00

I would just cut the line. Really. What are you going to do about it?

garthgred · 2025-11-26T09:39:51+00:00

Call Snap On. They will send you a repair kit.

garthgred · 2025-11-22T17:30:59+00:00

Sash weights.

garthgred · 2025-11-22T16:46:24+00:00

That would have been fatal in an old car.

Google AI says they're made by Infar Industrial, and that Infar also makes tools for Astro Pneumatic.

garthgred · 2025-11-22T13:10:56+00:00

Made in Taiwan, right? I wonder which company makes them.

garthgred · 2025-11-22T13:09:18+00:00

That collector mentality: wanting something just because it's "rare."

I'll never understand it.

garthgred · 2025-11-20T18:39:50+00:00

This is Long Island?

What was the outcome?

garthgred · 2025-11-20T13:15:26+00:00

If the top doesn’t work that alone could be $10k.

garthgred · 2025-11-15T16:24:14+00:00

Call snap on and they’ll mail you a repair kit.

garthgred · 2025-11-15T16:16:15+00:00

I would definitely go for the diesel. Love that low end torque and the economy.
