Ban, how stupid. Cal, aka CARB, has the strictest regs in the nation and yet the worst air pollution. Just buy 'em in Nevada, Oregon or Arizona.
I'll generally go twice, my cordless stuff, you have a ratchet, go use it.Agreed! If you borrow a tool once, you need to go buy that tool so you don’t borrow it any more. One time I used a friends craftsman new professional pressure washer and ruined it. I had to buy him a replacement because it was the right thing to do! My conscience was worth more than me not being a good friend
blakethecarguy- do yourself a favor- don’t loan any more tools, especially power tools.
Those guys are not your friends if they are breaking your tools and not replacing them. They are taking advantage of you! If they need to borrow a power tool- chances are they need to buy their own. It takes most techs only one or 2 times being shut down in public in the shop when asking to borrow a tool before they figure it out.


Yup I feel you there. If someone want to borrow a metal tool like socket or wrench, they get to borrow it once. After that, you need to buy your own. Power tools- no way. They cost a lot and can wear out so they don’t get lent out.I'll generally go twice, my cordless stuff, you have a ratchet, go use it.
There's enough left to weld a nut onto it.
excuse to buy a small mig machine and learn.That's my next course of action. Just need to find a welder to do it. That's a skill I regret never learning.

The handle on the stubby 3/8 ratchet is a bit odd
Oh boy guess who went to The Home Depot and spent too much lol. The battery was free this time because warranty. The Home Depot in the ghetto has way more tools and had the batteries separate. They had exactly one left and the nice lady at the service desk took care of it. They said where I bought it in a kit I’m technically supposed to call Milwaukee or bring the whole kit in to replace. But they went ahead and done it anyway and I appreciate that. Then I seen the tool isle and there was no turning back lol
. This one has a ton more tools than the one on our end of town it’s been so long since I’ve been in this one so I didn’t remember what they had. Everything there is for work except I probably will keep the adapters at home as I have those at work and I broke a really cheap one at home so that’s what I’ll probably do. The shallow 13mm is a replacement for my coworker who’s socket I cracked. The 13 deep is for me. Then the 19mm impact is for my coworker Joker. The long ratchet is 3 inches shorter than the one I ordered from Snap-on over three months ago now that I still don’t have in my hand. I was going to order the stubby ratchet when I got my impact but I decided to wait on it so I seen it at this location and greaves it. Also grabbed the 140 tooth 1/4 ratchet too. It’s supposedly a new product from Husky it was under the new product label. The wrenches I got because I like to have extras of those. A 10mm ratcheting wrench is a life saver especially when replacing Subaru batteries. Both made in China they had some newer combination wrenches that were made in India and I will pass on those as I’ve never not broken a tool from India lol. Got my mom’s military discount on it too so it took some off the bill which helps a lot. They didn’t say a word when I was putting all of this in the buggy I was really surprised lol

I have the locking flex version of that Husky 100 position ratchet, and the few times that I’ve used it, I really like it. I did open the head and lube it with Permatex Ultraslick. Nice and smooth, I would definitely buy it again.

They are made by Apex same people who make Gearwrench and stuff. Which isn’t what it used to be either. So far in my Husky things no chrome peel. I would be exchanging them if they start that. No issues for me with being mis-sized either most of my stuff is recent though so nothing too old except the really old Husky stuff from the pawn shop. Personally I’d rather have Kobalt over Husky but choose Husky because 6 point is more readily available individually. I did notice the 8mm seemed a little loose when changing something for my brother in law the other day. I would put them a step under the old Craftsman. The only thing I’d put equal or higher is the ratchets they are Taiwan made for the ones I’ve shown here and seem pretty well made.@BlakeTheCarGuy Love the tools... but... I have had zero luck with Husky sockes/wrenches. I don't know why but the chrome is always pealing off or the socket is not breached properly and is tight or misshaped. My guess is they have improved their manufacturing and quality control based on how much stuff ppl here buy them.
Would you consider them equal to ... say... craftsman USA? from back in the day?
I agree on that. The handle it pictures online looks a little different by the pictures. I figured this is the new style. It’s made in Taiwan so that’s a plus I thought all Husky was China. Yeah the India made wrenches I’ll be avoiding it’s not worth gas driving to the store to get them replaced if they break because I can guarantee it will be multiple trips. China is bad enough but India takes the cake.The handle on the stubby 3/8 ratchet is a bit oddThe long 3/8 ratchet seems like a bargain. Husky moving to made in India wrenches
