I have a high torque M18 wrench that I almost never use but would never give up. I keep it around for peace of mind since I always worry that there's going to be a crank or suspension bolt that I won't be able to break free. That high torque M18 gives me the confidence to take on a project...

That's a shame. I've been thinking of picking a new one up since my old one is getting a little beat up. A hockey puck works as an alternative but I definitely prefer the red pads.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw this thread. I first heard about it from this review and I'm sad that I never got a chance to grab a set.

I never knew these existed and now I have to have them! In addition to all the auto applications these would totally come in handy when working on computers. Sometimes I run into stubborn motherboard and ATX power connectors in difficult areas with hardly any clearance.

I've had a 7201 for about 10 years and it's been great. I primarily use it for doing topside oil changes and it's made those jobs a breeze. About 4 years ago the top gasket went bad but it was a quick swap and now it's good as new.

There are three Harbor Freight stores local to me and the staff at each location is always friendly and helpful. I have no issues shopping there.

No carrier or tracking number on my order but it's been marked as "delivered". I haven't received any packages today. I saw that a poster on on the Hot Deals forum is also in the same situation.

So you're saying they get 4x more powerful after 3 days then?

Man, do you enjoy feeling persecuted when no one's going after you? Your initial criticism was: Looks stupid So I asked you how you think it should look. Then you give a non-answer and go off on a tangent about how a big, powered torque wrench has the following problems: Big Powered...

My bad, missed the part where it said "Designed for L.Cheapo" on it. Look, I get that it's not specifically what you're asking for and that *****. But there are workers out there who need to accurately torque down dozens or hundreds of fasteners every day where clearance isn't an issue and this...

Looks like a big, durable, functional powered digital torque wrench to me. How do you think it should look?

Also looks like it has controlled torque output via ONE-KEY.

I'm in exactly the same boat now. I'm not ashamed to admit that I've pulled out the breaker for bolts that were originally tightened to 30 ft-lbs. I've also found that I feel much better at the end of the day if don't strain. It might take me a little bit longer but I'll gladly keep walking...

Anyone have any experience with the Quinn removable tip snap ring pliers at HF? They look a lot like the Channellock equivalent which tends to get good reviews. I believe the tips are compatible too.

I thought about doing this but I was scared of getting hit with a potential liftgate charge of up to $250 on top of the standard shipping costs. The phone rep mentioned that it's all up to the freight company and they couldn't give me a definite number beforehand. I ended up finding a blue 44"...
