Tell him to set it back down real quick, it came off a Snap On truck, and Snap On will disavvow any knowledge of how it got there.
Notice, Miller don't make flank drive wrenches, cause Miller knows they don't know how to make wrenches. Snap On oughta get the hint, but the bean counters at Snap On figure if they fling enough crap at the wall, some will stick and look good.

Thanks for some of the suggestions. UncleDannie, found the same thing on Yahoo search, sent them a email and passed on their phone # to my friend. Yeah, I know about SnapOn as a welding product supplier, but he swapped a wrecked bike for it. You should see what SnapOn wants for tips.

Franz, please take off the kid gloves and tell us what you really think of Snap-On welders.

Actually, the overall product quality from SnapOn across the board has been dropping off in the last couple years, right down to their downsizing of screwdriver handles.
SnapOn "welders", can't we just leave it that they suck today, sucked in the past, and will SUCK in the future? I know 1 guy who has 6 of them in various stages of disassembly in the back of his shop cause the truck dealer can't provide parts, or make them run any more, and the dam fool bought a 7th SnapOn welder cause he can pay for it a dollar down and a dollar a week. If he would have bought an MM-35 20 years ago, it would still be running.
Worse yet, Snap On doesn't price tools according to what they are worth, they price them according to what they figure the mechanic can make using them.
Warranty, well, 6 months to get a replacement pair of pliers cause of production problems don't sit well with me, and I already knew there was a problem with the steel they were made from when I busted the **** things.
Now, would you like to know how I currently feel about Mac Tools, a division of Stan Ree offshore built by the lowest bidder manufacturing?

Bought most of my Snap-On tools in 1965-66 for the most part. Still have every tool with none broken. Screwdriver handles made in the 1980s had a problem with mold cure and oozed oil. In 1990-93 I sold Matco and had a friendly Snap-On dealer who swapped the drivers out for me. He didn't knock the handles off as is SOP, he gave me new drivers. I have had good luck with mine, but they do have delivery problems too often. Prices are too high. I think Cornwell gives a much better bang for the buck. For the best deal on price and warranty, Husky is hard to beat. Everyone thinks they are new, but New Britain Tool has been around about as long as Snap-On. They don't make welders, so this may be straying off topic.
