Just received confirmation, our local Snapon rep will be there again this year. If you want specialty tools give me a heads up and I will forward to him your "wants and desires".

Wont be there, but snap on makes a 1/4" drive socket that is longer then a standard socket, but shorter then a deep well...
Its the perfect socket for glow plugs.
I have one, nothing better for quick and easy glow plug changes.

Snapon also makes a 3/8 deep socket that fits glow plugs nicely too.

We will be there all weekend as well if anyone needs anything. I also let Edmo know so hopefully he will make it as well.

That you can completely remove the glow plug with? Anything 3/8" I have ever tried gets hung up on the rockers or pushrod...

I take them all the way out. Only 3/8 I have found that will do it. I usually break them loose and use a piece of fuel hose to spin them out when they turn easy.

Doing some prep work on the campground had a bald eagle doing a little supervision in a tree close by. Several deer had to check out the noise. I think those camping will have a good time even if they have no projects.

Anyone that shows up to the Miller spread is always bound to have a good time! That is unless you screw up your own project...............
