I only buy snap on tools nowadays but I just hate getting them dirty. I have quite the collection but they are mounted in glass windowed cases around my garage. They don't get used though I do polish and admire them smuggishly quite often.

95% of the time I use an impact its an electric impact. I've found when i do I am less likely to break a bolt. There have been several times I've had a ratchet/breaker bar on a bolt and can feel it starting to twist/shear and then get out an impact and zip it right off after a few hammers

The 1/2" high torque isn't practical for small stuff. Honestly if I could only get one I'd probably go for the m18 or m12 3/8" fuel impact wrench or m18 fuel impact driver. As far as the m12/m18 impact wrench go in 3/8" they are pretty damned close to each other in power I've tested them side...

get a hex to 1/4" square, hex to 3/8" square, and hex to 1/2" square adapter. Those will allow you to use sockets. Then buy impact sockets. Most cars today are metric. I'd start with 1/4" deep, then 3/8" deep, then 1/2" deep. Once you have those get the shallows. Some people on here seem to...

I got a torin roller seat for 20 or 25 on amazon. Not as good as the whiteside's with the back support but you can't really beat it for the price and it's well built.

yep I have some matco impact torx worse than that and pretty much all my craftsman usa ones are twisted it's a stupid design unless its for plastic or something Anyone have any 1/4" drive torx sockets that have actually held up?

now you need a bunch of 80% lowers

Dammit I missed it, been waiting for a deal on these. Anyone want to sell me one?

I'm gonna be a milwaukee fanboy and say go with the m12/m18 line That bosh square/hex is a good idea in theory but it really just looks like a 1/4" hex driver with a square drive around it. It won't touch a real 18v 1/2" impact like the milwuakee high torque. If you just want to keep it to one...

Milwaukee 2763-22

Website said the price was good till 2/1. It now says the current price is good till 2/1.

Think that's a good idea when I've already bought 2 dewalt kits with m18 tools and returned both? lol To the guy wanting the 4.0/charger kit: the 5.0ah and charger kit was the same price previously and currently

You can get one for 40 bucks at HF with a 20% off coupon They work just fine...

son of a b*tch! Price on the 5.0 starter kit and 2 pack of 3.0's went up 30 bucks. It said price was good till 2/1 edit: hacksaw/drill went up 50 bucks, impact + drill went up 20 bastards
