Where can i get Snap on tools? or which tool set do you suggest for completely swaping and building an engine? websites and info would be great thanks

 

Craftsman

 

sears craftsmen or home depot husky are both fine tools for the job.

 

Snap On tools are the best, but craftsman are excellent tools for half the price. They are both warrantied for life. Sears sells craftsman.

 

Hey, anyone know if Craftmans make an "18 Volt Impact Wrenches" like SnapOn does? The cordless joint. That thing does wonders!

 

milwakee tools make a cordless impact. It comes in pretty handy.

 

Craftsman & SK does the job. I only buy Snap on for the specialty tools that Craftsman doesnt have.

 

I agree with the Craftsman lovers. They get the job done and then some for way less money. Good tools .

Snap on tools are the ***** but for the weekend mechanic....i would suggest Craftmans because its cheaper....ridiculously cheaper!!!

 

Yeah, I own Snap-On ratchets and box wrenches. They are the best, hands down. They fit bolts tighter and better than any other brand. Remember, they invented the snap-on socket!

Although, I cannot reasonably afford Snap-On sockets. If you look at Craftsman ratchets, they are complete crap. Craftsman sockets are fine for any average mechanic.

So, I recommend, go high-dollar Snap-On on the ratchets, and get cheapy Craftsman sockets. You kinda get the best of both worlds.

Also, don't bother buying any SAE standard tools if you're working on Hondas, they'll just collect dust, as everything is metric.

You can order directly from Snap-On.com

 

Craftsman has great tools. Snap-On has the best tools.

I have craftsman because I'm too poor for Snap-On and Craftsman tools do the job quite well 99% of the time, unless you are a mechanic.

It's funny you mention that because the snap-on ratchets I've used all sucked Probably just my experience though...

 

For sockets I would recommend getting a nice Craftsman set with somewhere between 80-100 pieces, both standard and metric. You never know when you'll need a standard socket for something else around the house. Then buy more metric sockets that didn't come in the set as you need them (i.e. 17 and 19mm deep and shallow, etc.). Also a deep 5/8 that is NOT a spark plug socket is good to have when you're tightening spark plugs, because the spark plug socket tends to get stuck down in there and they're a PITA to get out.

 

snap-on tools are great, so is Mac tools. they are professional grade tools. i own a box full of snap-on and Mac tools. i can tell a big difference between them and crapsmen, i mean craftsman tools. for me, i needed to buy good tools that i can count on, because i work on cars for a living. for a weekend guy though, craftsman is fine. but i know that they will not hold up to the same punishment as snap-on tools. i still have snap-on tools that my dad had, and they still work fine.

Dude, were they from the seventies or something? Get some new Snap-On ratchets with the sealed, flex-head, they are the shiz.

 

Snap-on is a very good brand.. also very expensive. You can usually get them on their website.

However, a great alternative.. which quality is comparable to is Matco..

Both these, however, are brands designed for professionals that use these tools 40 hours a week, every week, for years. and are quite expensive.

Great alternatives for the shadetree mechanic are craftsman and husky. I've owned my craftsman set and put them through some major abuse and they served my purposes just well

 

snap on are awesome tools.. i agree for those daily mechanics.. i'm not sure whether i trust the snap on tool guy.. all they have to do is get u to go in their little trucks the drive around.. and pretty soon.. ur buying everything in there.. yea.. well thats what happens when my bf and his friends... but snap on is the best...

actually Snap-on doesn't have lifetime warranty, only Craftsman does.

just go w/ craftsman, you'll save a lot more money.

Who told you that? I work in a shop and Snap-on makes the best quality tools, hands down, on the market. If they do ever break, besides sockets, the Snap-On guy that comes to my shop replaces our tools for free.

What do you recommend?

 

I don't think anyone told him where to get the tools. so just chase a snap on truck down and he will sell the tools to you. also i have snap on and craftsmen i prefer the snap on by far
