    1/2" Impact Sockets: Sunex vs Tekton vs Capri?

    I recently went through the exact same analysis when I needed some larger metric deep impacts. Probably looked at the same sets you are and ended up with the Capri as I thought they were the best value at the time. They did the job just fine-don't know what else to say about them. I did look...

    Pallet rack workbench...how to lift?

    I don't know if I would do this, but: Run a chain between the two front legs. Attach a come-along to the middle of the chain and tilt it back so the front legs come off the ground an inch or so to give you clearance for the tile.
