Re: Automotive Tools

i saw those tool storage metal things in hans... costs as MUCH as my entire workshop 🙂

Yeah if going for metal storage then it could get expensive. The six drawer Unior mobile tool cart I inquired cost around 35K.

I'm thinking to build one using welded angle bars and then put plywood drawers. It will be a lot cheaper unless I find a metal surplus box to refurbish.

Re: Automotive Tools

Finally got the left and right Hood Flush Pin Locks installed. Dremel is really a very useful tool specially with the flexible shaft.

Any good place to purchase Dremel accessories. Thinking of adding up some in the arsenal for future use.

Can you please post some pics of your tools here too.

Re: Automotive Tools

some of my automotive tools include Snap-ons... and one way to know if these are the real thing it bears markings that indicate the year they are manufactured...

all pieces carry these marks when the belong to a set... and this is where they are located in the tools...



and these marks can be verified in the snap-on website I reckon...

Re: Automotive Tools

got a pm from Ong...

yang date code ng snap on matagal ko ng alam yan 1988 palang alam ko na yan. year 2000 pala yang sayo. sakin mga 80 and 90 meron papala 1960.

good for you, I am aware that you know the year models (I did see the year chart you had in one your pictures). You see not all people are aware of them, maybe since you are well stocked and knowledgeable with Snap-on, maybe you can teach us what to look for when buying secondhand ones... or maybe what makes Snap-on good?
Did you buy these tools locally? maybe you can tell us where to get the new ones with the best prices?
I may not know what you know about these tools, I only worked in uptown indl. sales for two years under snap-on tools anyway.
btw, did you know other than sockets and wrenches, most of snap-on tools are made by other tool company (maybe you know this too)? Oh, and maybe you know the guys that sell them locally too? and where to access warranty claims locally? Maybe you can educate us a bit?

Re: Automotive Tools

now those are tools!!!
quite a nice set for an enthusiast

i didn't see spring compressors and bearing removers though

anyway how do you keep those from getting molds and getting rusted and even getting lost? just WD40?

ANGER MANAGEMENT ADVICE

Re: Automotive Tools

Most of the tool pics are from my garage workshop. Usually I'm the only one working here so I have no problems with losing tools. Rust can't be avoided as I'm in Pasay and it's near the sea. However I found out that wiping the seldom used tools with HYDRAULIC OIL keeps rust at bay.

Re: Automotive Tools

nice question... I keep my tools clean before and after use. some tools that are bare metal that has a tendency to rust with humidity I try to keep lubricated with a very thin oil. as for lending tools, I just say I'm sorry but I don't lend my tools. I will help using my tools but lending is a no no. that is why I save my hard earn pennies just to buy the best that I can afford. I don't buy them for others to borrow...
I do remember someone saying "ang swapang mo naman", I just give them a stare and tell them to buy their own or borrow from someone else.... people just have the nerve sometimes...

Re: Automotive Tools

Would WD-40 or sewing machine oil do, timb?

Re: Automotive Tools

Would WD-40 or sewing machine oil do, timb?

it really depends Ramon. I always hate it when the drill press column always seem to get rusty. tried WD40, Castrol oil (tira ng change oil), singer oil and even Teflon oil. none worked as I preferred, they always seem to get some rust one way or another. what I did that cured the problem was greased it with Molybdenum grease then wipe off excess, did the job but left it greasy which was ok since I don't hold them anyway. less used tools that have bare metal should be lubed a bit heavily and for the commonly used tools can be oiled lightly since our hand do emit a little oil and unfortunately water 🙂 IMHO...

Re: Automotive Tools

I had the same experience with WD40 & singer oils. Some small rusty areas after some time.

Have heard of moly grease from RC enthusiasts before. Is it available locally?

Thanks
