I want to give this guy a call

[senor fozz]

He says that it is tested and has lots of torque.

Tired of seeing ads were a pawn shop just does not knowing anything about a product.

 

[TAMPAGT07]

I'd call him up and ask him if he removed any screws with it...

 

[Stooge]

"well, i'll pay you $4, but only because it doesn't spin"

Wonder how they tested it?

 

[jakemac]

I'd like to see the video of him "testing" it, as stated in his ad.

 

[rusty65]

I want to call and ask him if he can give me a free demo of all the torque.

And I thought all you guys here knew how to use one of these on screws. For those of you who don't, it's quite simple. Lean the tip of the pnuematic screwdiver against the edge of the screw and depress the trigger on the tool. The tip will then vibrate causing the screw to turn. It can be used to either loosen or tighten screws. Works on both left hand and right hand threaded screws. Can also be used in place of sockets and wrenches for use on nuts and bolts.

Can't tell if sarcasm or not.

Does it also come with a phillips bit ?

 

[Major Ramifications]

Well, his name is Ruhi, so we shouldn't expect much from him other than a cheerful, "Thank you, come again!"

 

[Strouty]

Email him and say you would pay $25 if he has the phillips bit. If he emails back saying he doesn't, ask him where to get one.

 

[joebiodiesel]

I love craigslist...

Sorry, we don't have any accessories. Only the tool.

Says so right in the ad.


But, he might have a star chisel he could sell you.

 

[87GN]

Can't tell if sarcasm or not.

Yes and no. Yes because of how the ad is worded and no because I've used an air chisel many times to loosen bolts that trhe heads were rounded. Torx headed bolts come to mind.

 

[tribbles]

Of course it has plenty of torque, it sheared every screw in half - lengthwise!

That ad is from a place called Consignment Warehouse, or something similar. It is a huge building with all used furniture, junk, trash, treasure, tools, electronics, etc. It is frickin' huge.

They take 50% of the sale for consignment sales. If you have an afternoon to kill, kind of a fun place. Mostly overpriced from what I saw. A few gems in there maybe, but insanely time consuming to dig through all the ****. The place is like the size of the Pontiac Silverdome.

My gripes:
1. Nothing is priced. It has a number. You go to a computer station and type the number in to see the usually way high price. If it is over $25 you can make an offer. You have to wait in line at the computer stations, which is annoying.

2. The people are nice but those posting ads don't know **** about tools. Oh well.

3. They post hundreds of ads on craig's for stupid **** like "philips screwdriver $2". They don't maintain the ads. They keep running ads on already sold things.

 

[Mike007]

Thats funny $hit.

 

[zack99]

That looks just like the tool I bought at HF for $13. Mine don't torque so well but it's ok at taking tile off the floor.

 

[BDT/NWMN]

I would like to nominate that ad for the "Classic Tool Lesson of the Day

 

[devoncoolman]

Junk i wouldnt give them $2 for that pos. stupid ad. That **** pisses me off. Floods craigslist with **** you can buy new for that price.

 

[justanengineer]

I know a few hacks who use screwdrivers as chisels, so maybe he learned about it from a "pro."

 

[X1 Mike]

All this about a stupid 18 dollar tool? I can't even get up the energy to write any...................

 

[oldldh]

That's for crossthreaded heximulticomplicator fasteners...

Rare tool that...

Does it come in metric ?

 

[KnurledNut]

Is there some reason no one has pointed out the fact that its NOT a snap on?

 

[crbassassin]

Well, his name is Ruhi, so we shouldn't expect much from him other than a cheerful, "Thank you, come again!"

Could be a she though.

 

[Coach James]

Maybe you put the tip of the "screwdriver" in the head of the screw, squeeze the trigger then run in a circle around the screw.
