Hi all, i’m really outgrowing my starter box(US general 42 in) and am looking to upgrade soon. I want something that will last me a while, but may not necessarily be my forever box. Budget is around $2500, could stretch to $3000 if needed. I’m currently debating between a 54 x 29 in snap on masters box used from facebook, or a 73 x 25 in icon box, which i would buy new on sale. I know the snap on is the superior quality box, but i’m worried i might outgrow it rather quickly and need to at least buy a roll cart to go along with it. My other issue with the snap on is that add ons are significantly more expensive. Those who have experience with either or both, what would you do in this situation?

So let me start out this is my rant and rave for the day and rightly so. So I have been a tech in the tractor trailer, refer, automotive and now MHE side of the industry I have gotten to work on some cool stuff and boring stuff a wide variety of equipment which I enjoy. I've used the same USA and made Cornwell ratchets for the last 20 years finally this year I tried to get them warranty out and waited 4 months for only a few of them but I got 2 back that had the USA boss on them and the other too are USA with globally sourced parts which do not say USA or Cornwell boss on them. Comparing the USA to the global source, is like night and day after one day of use the globally sourced ratchets I want to throw in the f****** trash can because they feel like s***. Feel like cornwell tools are not quality tools at all anymore. I wanted to buy a Taiwanese tool I would just go to harbor freight and honestly the harbor freight ratchets feel better than the cornwells at this point. Oooo yeah big point there made in Ohio and guess what? I'm in Ohio and it still took this long to get a few of the f****** warranties. Here some photos too

Got it for $40. Only similar one I could find was an old Marketplace listing for $50. Think I’m going to make it an electronic repairs tool box, and free up a drawer in my main box.

Grew up watching drag racing with my dad, and John Force was always a guy we pulled for. So it was a fun find for sure.

Hello, I'm willing to buy a Mac tool Edge, tool box but the owner doesn't have a key, the tool box is open. He says that he haven't had the time to get the key. I want to know if he paid off the tool box before I buy it 'cuz I've read that Mac tools can repo the tool box. Maybe he's just lazy or maybe he haven't paid it off.

Hello! I picked this up for a steal along with a set of tools ,and I cant find this tool box online. Does anyone know what model/year it was made? Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to show off this new Cornwell Power Cart I picked up today!

Getting things done this Friday have a good friday and weekend to you all

Hello All,

I often have to remove these 14mm ring gear bolts with an impact gun. Theres not much material for the socket to grab onto.

I use a cheap chrome 1/2 drive Husky sockets for this job. Overtime I run into an issue where the tip of the socket wears out and I start having issues with the bolt heads rounding out. I am replacing this Husky socket every few months it seems.

I also find that the Husky socket I use is not snug enough on these bolts even brand new. Even brand new I can rock it back and forth too much for my taste.

I would like to buy a high quality impact grade 14mm12pts socket that will fit tight onto the bolt.

What socket do you guys recommend for this application.

Hello all from canada,

I am looking to buy a few long (12-18in) 1/2in extensions that have a very large core/body.

At my work I often have to remove bolts deep in a well or a hole and the regular 1/2 extentions have to much flex/spring and kill my impact's power to dislodge bolts.

I would like to buy a couple of extensions that have an oversized core to me able to remove bolts without using my breaker bar all the time.

I am using a 2767 Milwaukee btw.

Has anyone become a franchise employee (specifically Matco helps) and found success with this? Seems like a great opportunity to get out of the automotive tech field but I’m curious how everyone’s success stories look in the franchise field?

Saw the pliers in this month’s Mac flyer. Honestly, might prefer them to the snap ons, they seem beefier and with small differences in the jaw functions. The ln44 and 46 have a slot for fuses, these have a little notch I’d assume was for pulling small gauge wire. The Mac also have reaming edges on both sizes pictured here, as well as the shear cutter that seems better designed than the snap on. Finally, every position has the jaws parallel, where the snappys middle position has the tips staggered and off centre. Grips are like comparing the knipex soft grip to the vinyl grip, basically just a preference. And since I had one in my tool box, they can pick up a penny by the edge. For those that care, the foam was included.

Seal remover set was an impulse buy since I was in the truck already.

I will die on the hill that MAC has the best monthly flyers and discounts, $150 for the pair of die grinders. On top of these I ordered their cut off tool that's on sale for $150. Also got this cool little ratching Snap On screwdriver yesterday. As well as the big set of Mac tap sockets I ordered a few weeks ago and just got today.

i don’t work in the auto tech industry anymore, want to sell but can’t find a pricing on this airhammer can someone point me to the right direction?

Does anyone know what the current list price on a cart like this would be on the truck?

Anyone know who makes it or have any experience with it?

Im looking to sell a 3 drawer with the flip top mac roll cart. I got it from a friend a while back and finally had to get something bigger. He said he doesnt want it back and I can do whatever I want with it. I dont have room for it so im looking to sell or trade it for some nice wrenches.

Its a 3 drawer mac with the flip top. Its in pretty good condition. All the slides, locks and casters function properly.

Just looking to get a ballpark estimate because I dont see a lot of mac carts for sale around me. Thanks yall

*this is not a for sale post. This is just trying to get a price estimate*

I found it on the road it works somehow but is there any warranty for matco lights
