Bought a set of VIM DT6200, a Proto Impact driver set & few Gearwrench 3/8 deep 6pt sizes I was missing.

Honestly, if you need a good set of trim removers, I highly suggest the Vim DT6200 its extremely well made, metal part is thick and its the same exact quality as the MAC. (I believe they are both made by the same factory) you can get em' for 50$

How much did that set run you? I've been looking to get a set, but they are expensive, even off Craigslist.

I got them off of amazon warehouse with "damaged packaging", but I didn't see the damage anywhere. I paid like 75 bucks shipped. The HF set is almost 50 bucks after tax and doesn't get good reviews so I thought I did ok.

I tried local Craigslist for US made but they have been 125-175 bucks used and about 2-3 hours of driving. A couple of years ago there was a Wright set for $75 bucks really close to me but I didn't think I needed it. That was a mistake.

Off the truck today. Started a new account with Matco. I really like this impact compared to mg725. I was using a li ion snap on but Im moving back to air tools for piece of mind. And it's fast.

A taste of Europe.

Felco F8
Knipex Cobolt offset
Knipex 10" Cobra
Knipex 5" Cobra
Knipex Titanium Tweezers (I don't think they actually make them)
Gedore 7UR 10mm to satisfy my curiosity. I'll put it to real use but first impression is that the ratcheting action is very course with a fair amount of drag. I'm happy I didn't get a set.

price finally came down on these and I'm sick of renting.

I am intrigued by this tool.

I have not found the Eastwoods deal, but I found a knock off for a good deal. Some reviews on Amazon claim its completely identical to Eastwoods. Possibly rebranded.

Since it seems you have done more than a few, on average how much time per wheel well ?
What if any complaints to you have with that tool?
I am seeing a few new quarter panels that are getting hemmed in the wheel house, I can only assume this tool would work like a champ in that setting.

I think $120 for a brand new Eastwood fender is still a deal going on right now.

They still have it on their site for 129.99

those amazon ones good be very well rebranded as they are made in Taiwan

Time wise varies a little on the car the last miata i did only took 40 mins or so a corner, but it was the second one i had done. I'm expect 50-60 mins a corner on my subie.

My only complaint would be with the gauld up threads on the adjustment rod of the last one i rented. This could have been somebody moving to much metal two quick instead of using it properly though or just from normal wear. An ACME threaded rod might the solution if this too happens to mine.

Flexzilla is the best, you wont regret it. Purchased mine this winter and worked with it at -15F no problems. Best air hose money can buy

Nah, Parker Push-Lok is nicer, the price reflects that though.

This is a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be.

Only bad thing I've read about is the green shows dirt pretty easily. Oh well.

View media item 49531Estwing EB15SR hammer and E323LP pick, got all 3 versions of the ultra now, this is the new version of it.
Channelock screwdrivers, one large strait and the precision set, thought I would give them a try for dirty work as acetate handles are easy to clean.
