My bad.

You purchased it today and it needs sharpened? I beg to differ…

I purchased the Maddox set from harbor freight. Made in taiwan. Supposedly the same set as the OTC. Seems to work pretty decent.

I was thinking about this the other day. I purchased roughly $6000 worth of s-k tools 10 years ago for college. I’ve had no trouble with their warranty, but I can count with both thumbs how many tools needed warrantied. ($20 worth) even if they didn’t have a warranty, that’s a pretty small...

Hmm, probably a bit far away from you. (Northeast Nebraska) but I’ve my fist lathe for sale. South bend 9a, chucks, taper and milling attachment, steady and follow rest, and some tooling.

Location?

Hmm, I hadn’t heard that about cdi.

Define affordable….in my mind, precision instruments and cdi are affordable. ($100-$150)

I just used one on a 5/8 bolt going through a truck frame. Fuel lines and battery cables prohibited the use of a ratchet. Couldn’t get a combo wrench on it. But the offset double box end worked well.

Are you sure your 1 ton only weighs that? I’ve got an f250 with a 7.3 diesel, crew cab short box with flatbed. 36” Montezuma full of tools, and an empty 110 gallon fuel tank, and I’m over 10k.

We have a 10k bendpak at our shop that lifts crew cab diesels often. We are strongly considering upgrading to a 12k. I’d lean towards overbuilt vs “hopefully enough”

I keep mine at 29.5, and sometimes at 45. I can’t stand it being at 90.

You are correct. Not sure why I thought that.

Aren’t the L872 a higher tooth count?

I’d really like to give their combination flare nut wrenches a try. Nothing is more frustrating than after breaking a brake line loose, and then have to keep using a flare nut wrench to get the line separated. All because I’m too lazy to get an open end wrench.
