Snagged one of these up. Seems like a pretty good deal. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Oscillating-Multi-Tool-Kit-with-one-1-5-Ah-Battery-Charger-2626-21CP/309844463

Yes I understand that. But I'm a garage mechanic, not a career mechanic. So taps and dies aren't used often but when I do need one, I don't want it to let me down.

Hi there, I'm looking to pick up a master tap and die set that will last a lifetime with a large assortment of sizes. Something of high quality, preferably made in USA or possibly Japan or Germany. Thanks! All help is greatly appreciated!

Any M18 fuel die grinder deals?

120V power. Would like to run air hammers, not looking to run a spray gun. A hose from the tank is fine. And something $500 or less.

Wondering if you guys can recommend a decent garage air compressor? I see there are various units from Harbor Freight, Menards, Home Depot, etc. Just wondering if there are some I should avoid or look for. Ideally a vertical unit, something with enough capacity to run air tools. Single phase...

Any M12 fuel right angle impact wrench deals?

Are these good deals? Or is the pricing just so-so? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

So update. I exchanged the master force jack for another one of the same model and the new one seems a lot better. It's just very weird how it operates, it takes a lot more pumping effort then what I am used to. It's not so much that it's hard to pump but it just seems like it goes very slowly...

Does anyone have experience with this jack? https://www.costco.com/cat-3-ton-low-profile-service-jack.product.100507254.html

I'm starting to think it might be low on oil but the owner's manual doesn't give a fluid specification of amount.

Not hard to turn, hard to pump. It requires a lot of effort to lift the car.

So I bought the MasterForce from Menards and I'm quite disappointed with it actually. I bled it per the procedure in the manual and it is still very hard to pump, even with a relatively light car. Any ideas?

Thanks guys. Looks like the Menards is the one to go with!

Hey guys, looking to pick up a floor jack and I've been kind of out of the loop lately with the jack to buy. I remember the yellow Daytona jacks from HFT were decent, and I think the MasterForce from Menards was supposed to be decent. Looking to spend around $200. All help is greatly...
