I work on vehicles that have lived their lives in WI, where we have a lot of cheese, a lot of beer, and roads covered in salt. My TechAngle torque wrench was nowhere near cheap, but you can knock a half hour minimum off a head job not needing to move that torque angle meter and lock it back down every time.Įven HF crap has a lifetime warranty. I could write an entire thread on that tool alone. So I don’t need to fool with wires and I don’t need the extra tool to pulse the injectors. I can do an injector balance test without jumping a relay or keying it up every time, that function is built in. The Troubleshooter data that comes built into it is awesome. I use a Modis for my scanner/ scope unit. I have rounded out Craftsmen sockets(Got em replaced use them for very light work…as in stuff that I could probably get off with my fingers.lol), Snap On Sockets (Got em replaced but never use them.), and other brands…Stanley? Heck I have bent all thred using a stanley socket and a bolt on the end.lol Not on purpose of course. No one seems to show Stanley any love these days but there Sockets are the best on the market by leaps and bounds. So yeah I go with Snap On for those only, everything else is Cornwall, or Craftsmen, or Stanley. Dang normal ratchets are too bulky, could use a breaker bar then switch.but then im defeating the entire point of having wratcheting wrenches in the first place. Why? Every set of craftsmen I have bought broke the first time I used it…Granted I only go for wratcheting wrenches when im in a very tight space and need to bust something loose yet at the same time dont want to have to switch to another tool. Only thing Snap On I use are there closed in wratcheting wrenches. Hopefully this doesn’t start a flame war. I do love their flare nut wrenches though. Snap on doesn’t have those kind of ratchets. I know he doesn’t fully represent snap on but come the on.Ĥ) Craftsman ratchets may not be as fine toothed as snap on, but I love that they have the spinning top where you can move it with your thumb or hold it in place while ratcheting.

I find they still slip, although they are more shallow which can get me in tighter spots.ģ) The snap on guy came to my school and said that shops will hire us if we buy snap on because it shows that we’re serious about our work…. I much prefer the feel of the thick handled craftsman or mastercraft wrenches (both with lifetime warranty and a set of 14 cost about the price of 2 snap on wrenches)Ģ) I’ve used their sockets and really haven’t noticed a huge difference between theirs and craftsman’s sockets… at least not a 300% price increase difference.

I got my office storage cabinet full and also you shelves to store the rest of diagnostic tools but I know you are in an environment where you need to lock them up.All we use at school is snap on but I’m not the biggest fan of snap on tools for a couple of reasons:ġ) I don’t like the feel of their wrenches. Here a similar picture of what type a cabinet I was talking about.A file cabinet would work too.They lock too. I would go for the Snap On box and pass on the China ones.

When I sold my Macimizer Super Station in 2001, I bought an office cabinet to hold all my blister packed tools(compression gauge,ball joint press,fuel injector tester,coolant pressure tester,fluke,dial indicators.)from an used office supply place for 75.00 to free up my smaller box.Just a thought. The Snap on box you listed is 29' deep and the menard and other cheapy box are 20' deep and are not very stable. I tried one of the stainless steel box combo and one of the caster bend in with the weight of my tools. I have had several name brand boxes and never had problems,I down sized and tired a box from Lowes and that one wanted to turn over if more than one drawer was opened.I got a lot of tools. The are built for everyday use.The drawer height and spacing is less wasteful.Some even warranty the slides for life.

Click to expand.I would stick with the name brand boxes,Snap On,Mac,Cornwell or Matco.
