The worst thing I can remember was putting a four foot pipe on the end of a power bar and using two guys, pushing with everything we had. We stretched a 1 inch steam fitting bolt. (steam fittings are made to have a VERY large yield range) I'd estimate we had at least 4000 ftlbs on that socket and the socket & power bar were fine.

Yeah, for air tool I just stick with IR.
You can break their "modern" (ie last 10 years or so) torque wrenches by looking at them wrong.. I've broken sockets with breaker bars, rachets with breaker bars (less common), some of their rebranded tools with a lot less (vice grips, etc but those are all rebranded so... :shrug: )

Their air tools here are mostly (or all?) IR, but you can get the same IR for less, and you can't usually get the best IR tools as craftsmen. IR Titanium/MAX stuff is awesome, about all I use for air when possible. Love the quiet TI/MAX stuff.

Some Snap-On tools are worth the price. Some are not. Depends on what you need and how often you're using it. I'm pretty brutal with anything I use, so while I haven't graduated to Snap-On level yet, I do tend to buy sturdier/more expensive tools simply because they will last me longer.

Damn, now I'm questioning my recent MAX Access kit purchase. I haven't even used it yet, just figured I'd get it while it was on sale for my upcoming spring swap. This doesn't give me much hope. Thanks for the heads up.

IR is normally about double the price here as it is there. I've picked up most of my air tools while I was in the states, because the cross border mark up is infuriating.

I know a few mechanics that have switched to Mastercraft because they last just as long as Snap-on but this way they don't have to wait for the truck to appear to replace when something does break.

I buy Kobalt because blue....


Also, I abuse my tools but I'm a weekend warrior in the garage and don't use them all day every day.

I find the pricing on Kobalt tools decent, they are ergonomic, they seem pretty sturdy, and have a solid warranty. As with almost everything these days they tend to be made in China or Taiwan.

In my experience the comparatively priced Craftsman stuff is much less sturdy and also made in China.

Dunno bout' you guys but... Ass ratio should be 2:1 on Boobies and a pretty face should be standard but everyone's taste is different. I just think the butt to boob ratio should be better on an import model. Just me.

As for men.. I like my men to have a damn sexy chest and abs. Fking win. Oh a nice bubbly perky butt would be a plus too.

Good looking out girl!!

I love TnA just much as every guy here but damn they are such a tease. I hate it when their bios say something like:

Turn ons: great personality

Turn offs: bad breath and cockiness

Then they get some with douchebag!



What's up with your place...Cafe Lu!!

Not my place but its down the street where I'm from! I know a girl or two from there. lol

One of them (when I do see her) always asks me to feel her boobs. Only because she got them done does she always ask me to feel them. I don't know why but... I get asked quite a lot. :l

Also my other friend who decide to get her breasts done always asks me to feel her boobs too. I have weird friends.

I don't disagree... its the combination of body, color, and the angle of the shot that gave me a stiffy.
