I have been told and have experienced that craftsmen tools are great for home use. Like it was said above, craftsmen ratchets suck, they feel sloppy and don't do well when you have very little space to swing. I don;t see craftsmen tools doing well when it comes to the everyday beating they would take at a shop. With that being having used snap on tools for the last year and a half, the worst i have done to any of them is put hairline cracks in some of the smaller 1/4 sockets. We also only have a snap-on truck come around and i know him quite well having worked at the shop for the last 3.5 years. We have tried to get a MAC truck to come around, but they never do even though we have a collection of trashed impact sockets that we would like to replaced. This is also a downfall of craftsmen because some techs can't get to sears after work/during work for whatever reason. Every minute that you have a necessary tool down is money lost. So having grown up w/ craftsmen in the home garage, snap-on and MAC at work, that is probably what i will go with. Everyone at the shop i work at uses snap-on only for the most part and the last guy that had craftemen tools broke them all and replaced each one with snapon. Remember we are a private shop not a chain like some of you work at, so it is tougher to get other trucks to show especially since we are all snap-on as it is..... I appreciate the input everyone, this is really helpful.

Well, i'll be w/ megaman im sure so make that a ranger and a vagina mcjinestein mobile aka MKII MR2

10-4

Yeah that is what this program is Rob, i get the 50-55% discount. I'm not sure how much in debt i want to get although this would be an investment for my future. I have never had an issue w/ snap-on stuff breaking so i know they will last. Ryan how does matco do it? This looks like you get a box full of tools to use now and you pay it off while in school and whatever you don't pay off they take back....

Did anyone on here do the snap-on student excellence program while you were in college? Or now for that matter? Just wondering if it is really worth doing, or what your experience with it was..... http://buy1.snapon.com/sep/termsOfProgram.aspx ^This is the link if there is any other college students that are going into the auto tech end of the field and want discounted tools. Other companies do this as well in some way, but snap-on is who i am interested in. Thanks in advance for any input.

About time they thought about their weight issues....very cool.

Even better a RHD MR2 turbo on there too.....**no pics** http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/433914975.html

bump....someone get this stuff, or tell your buddies it is taking up space in my room!

I bet it's better than fucking t-mobile...... Verizon sucked, t-mobile is sucking, I will be switching after this contract is up to cingular most likely. My dad has dropped calls w/ cingular when he is out on the highway occasionally, but otherwise it seems to be pretty good. Hell Christina gets service in my basement w/ cingular which is miraculous.

So did you go just for the run? If you did that really sucks. Thanks for the follow up info tho!

Looks like a cluster fuck to me. Good idea, poor execution.....not that i could do it any better.

Yeah i noticed that right when that timing block shot across the track that is when somthing blew. I liked the interview with his wife when she stated that John was difficult to communicate with b/c he was barking out orders like "who won" and "is Kenny ok". Hope his recovery is speedy.

Finding stuff at junkyards is hit or miss. They either have nothing at all like today, or they could have an over abundance of what you are looking for. Or have an over abundance of other motors for other projects *3800sc fiero cough* lol.

Nice to see a few other MR2's out last night, but the lot was A MESS. Hal left when i got there, got to talk w/ Christian for a little bit, but we were parked all over the place.

Me.....there were a lot of MR2's out last night (4). Hoping some will make it back out again.

Uhh wow? Don't really know what else to say.

Does it have a garage?

Do they have a hole on the bottom for the crotch strap? Or are they set up for a 4 pt?

I guess that depends on how the suspension is set up. I think the Z is a boat compared to the FD.

Well i just hope that one dosen't enter every year you know? If it kills this year that should be it. I don't want to see the challenge become to beat the atom every year.

I will be present w/ the usual crew at some point i believe, Megaman/clbsinvaders/heelside/94birdman/dan93z28

Curious to see if the LS1 Z will do better than the LS1 FD from last year as well.

People are already talking about not showing up in school just for the game. I've nevar played it.....

Lol, your radiator has two lower hoses?

We met a guy at the QSL meets that has a MKI MR2 and put speaker cover over his tail lights. That thin black transparent material. It looked surprisingly good.
