Re: looky what i got (BADEG6)
good deal..they would probly work well at home...but in a shop those are going 2 blow out really fast...plus all the other mechanics will laugh at you...heh
Use them till they go, or until you can get better air tools. When the tool trucks come around look for specials or rebuilt pieces with warantees. Stay away from snap-on they overprice way to much. Mac, or Matco would be more reasonable. Besides about 80% of all the tools are made from one giant company. Danahare is the company (bad spelling i know, but thats how its prounced.)
If you cant swallow the prices of the professional tools, get a good set of craftsman. They are more of a DIYer tool, and a backyard mechanic, but they will get the job done. They may break down from time to time, but just bring them back to sears and get replacements, they all have the lifetime garantee. Which is a big bonus IMO. Keep in mind, the 3 big prof tools also offer warenties which are very similar. When the time comes to step up to the prof tools, you can also trade in your craftsman stuff, for some credit, to the tool man.
Bottem line, if your going to be a mechanic/tech. You have to have the right tools to do the job.
Any other questions on tools, PM me

Re: (C00SI)
i already have much better air tools but those are the ones that stay in my garage i am going to use these until i get the chance and the money to buy better. the set is buy a company called mastergrip. and the quality after looking over them seems pretty good. but time will be the ultimate test

Re: (Civicboy)
man all the tools i have are snap on i like snap on stuff. I got snap on gloves, hats, socks. 
I have all my craftsman stuff at home and snap on stuff at the shop. Any air tool for cheap isnt bad when it breaks or doesnt have enough torque then you might be asking somoene else to borrow some of there tools though. Truck accounts rock though.

Re: (deftones0817)
yeah, im not saying snap on tools are not good, they are great. But the prices are a bit out there. Matco and Mac has the EXACT same quality for a better price. Depends on where your shop is though. Alot of shops don't have a matco distributor in thier area, and are forced to buy from snap-on. Ether way, GL with the tools, and let us know how they turn out.

Re: (IDriveAHonda)
UPDATE!!!! these are by far the loudest tools i have ever used. but so far they work great, very tourqey and very comfortable but they use alot of air. i have a huge Cambell-Hausfeld compressor(like 150 gallon and it always keeps itself full) it clicked on after using the tools for like 30 seconds. and theres still the loudness to deal with. they even drowned out the compressor. im seriously going to have to wear earplugs the next time i use these and im not sure if that will help much. but hey they only cost a hundred bucks
