My favorite premium bible is a toss-up between the Cambridge KJV Topaz Goatskin and the Cambridge KJV Turquoise Full-Yapp Calfskin. I like the Topaz because it has a lot more room for notes - which I've heavily marked up and highlighted. My favorite for reading is the Turquoise (which I leave unmarked). The Cambridge classic text cannot be matched by any other bible publisher in my opinion. And I'm torn on which one to take with me to church in my bible case. I like the Topaz because I like to mark it up - but I like the Turquoise for the readability. First world problems! I don't like Schuyler because of the Jerusalem cross they put on their covers. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I try to avoid religious symbolism. I just like the classic "Holy Bible" on the cover I suppose. I don't like Allan because they don't do red-letter text. Schuyler does something neat with their red-letter that I wish Cambridge would do - Cambridge red-letter is only Christ's words when He was on earth. Schuyler will put His words in red in the book of acts, 1 cor, 1 Tim, and Revelation. I think that's a neat touch. Overall, the best bible is the one you will READ. And His words are far more valuable to me than any physical book. But it sure is nice to sit down and hold my premium Cambridge Turquoise and see Christ in all the Scriptures!
Thanks for demonstrating. I just bought one, didn't know how to use it, so I found your video. Going to use it to remove clips for my Volvo A/C repair.
Hey just wanted to thank you so much, I have a reflector on the bottom of my bumper that's been loose and driving me crazy ever since I got my car 2 months ago. When I would unscrew the T screws it wouldn't budge. I have it off and tightening that reflector down!
You're not wrong, the Epiq series is clearly the best made box out there. Other companies make nice boxes, but they are typically just as expensive, and a lot are not 30in deep, or not as heavy duty. Talking with apprentices and helpers in the shop, I try to find out if they want to do this long term before suggesting snap on to them. If this is just a job for them for a time, get a US general box, if it's a career, buy a name brand box. I work in heavy equipment, tooling gets HEAVY very fast. Ease of replacement parts and warranty is important to me, for the guys that are gonna do this long term, and want to tool up very heavy (we have the luxury of a well stocked tool room so many people just borrow the bigger stuff from the tool room) absolutely go out and get a name brand box. Nothing else will take the weight of our 3/4 and 1in drive tools, 1.5-2+ in wrenches as well as an epiq will.
I like snap on boxes there nice but I’ll always have a matco 6s I have the longest and deepest single box on the market Mr big and xl are more than one box put together by my 6s is 87 inches long 31 inches deep them extra inches do help a lot in depth
I’ve got gorilla tape all over the cover of my faux leather finish Bible and all the notes have completely bleed through the pages. Pages were too thin. I was a newbie and learned afternoon need something more bomb proof that can weather the storms of riding on my truck’s front dash as my daily driver. Currently looking into getting an Allen 7c combined with a wide version for thicker paper and note taking
You nailed it! Cambridge has the best insides, Allen the best outside, and Schyuler is the most balanced. Honestly if Schuyler had more of a classic font I would say they are the best(and if they would take the Jerusalem cross of the cover, just personal preference.) I remember when Schyuler first started they did a TBS Westminster reference Bible clone and it looked awesome, but sadly they don't do that anymore. If you ever want to try something different but still classy try the Clarion from Cambridge, didn't think I would like it, the covers are nice but could be better, but they layout has become my favorite(my Allen 43 and 63 are tied with it for first tho)... Just make sure you get a 2016 or newer version that has the better paper, most goatskin versions have it.
How do you get that sticker for your hutch My snap on guy said it must be something custom Cause I tried to order one for my hutch I ordered the one for the roll cart
I kind don’t like that there is no barrier between the crow bar/screwdriver holes which is probably why they didn’t cut the holes out, I can picture all of my 10mm sockets disappearing down those holes ! Lol
I spent a lot of money on my tools they pay the bills I keep the clean and in there place ! I buy snap on tools made in America by American workers like me and you
Just got mine last week and I took that top mat and hole punched all the holes out then put the plastics in holding down the mat. Came out really nice.
What size is the monitor? I’m wanting to do the same thing but 32” looks like it might be too big to fit between the lid struts. The next option was 24” which would fit but obviously want as big a screen as possible lol
The one in the video is I believe an odd size. I want to say it was a 28 or 29 inch. I have since replaced it with a 24 inch. And find it to be just fine. If you can find a a 32 with very little border trim I believe it would work.
I would like to make a simple comment just to mention that the Mueller Kueps clip lifter kit (5pcs and 3pcs long) tools are very nice. Mueller also sells a fuse plier that works well for certain small head trim clips as well. I'd like to test those Steck pliers. They look very nice. Frankly to do almost perfect work for clips, you'd probably have to invest in several tools for trim! I also like the miniature Stahlwille lever bar with the green handle. It has a little "spoon" tip and SUPER thin and seems very strong. Really helpful for damage free removal and or starting of extremely tight low tolerance interior trim pieces. Scuffing these tight tolerance high dollar european cars pieces can start to feel a little shabby, mistakes happen and some marring is unavoidable. Hot tip - A small piece of sticky tape or dumdum (butyl tape) works well to start screw bolt covers (door panels, etc) where there's basically absolutely no way to remove the plug cover without scuffing or wedging the piece out. It's fun to try to make it look like you were never there when doing these types of repairs. We've all seen dozens of "whatever screwdriver was available" to remove the trim cover. And sometimes that's the best solution! Best regards
How about metal u-shaped spring clips, the types which dig into the plastic. Somehow the metal pin(sort of) must be retracted or entire clip somehow spread very wide to release the grip. Would love to know how others do it.
Tim, how many premium Bibles do you have? just curious... Also, thanks so much for your review. I agree that Allen is the best when it comes to the quality of the leather and Cambridge has this readability that I don't see in other Bibles. Schuyler is also great.
Great video/review. I'm with you 100%... Often disappointed that if I want the premium features; I have to get the large or extra large version; case in point here. 40"x30" is flat out too big for me. $5k+ is the last nail in the coffin. I'm looking for more portable and smaller footprint; ~ 32"x20". Looks like SO has the only one that is not an import. So, I'll probably save a little longer and get that. Might look into upgrading/retrofitting to Epic or Cornwell slides and casters. Probably also get a cabinet shop make fit a stainless steel [overlay] top. @Cornwell tools: If you listening; I wish you would make the Platinum cart in 32"x20". Maybe I'm not the only one?
