Yeah I worry about them losing their strength. I am thinking about getting one for the farm as many nuts get rusty due to contact to the elements and ground. I guess I'd have to always remember to probably not use it on critical connections. IS the bolt buster a good one?

Can the bolts or nuts be used again after they are heated with this thing?

thanks guys

I bought a used ratchet off of the forum a few years ago and have loved it. I went to use it today and the little lever that changes the direction has broken off. Can this be fixed? Will the snap on truck fix it or replace it? Is the fix hard to do?

I've heard that they do have one jack that is a snap on knock off that is really good.

My local industrial supply store is having a deal on gear wrench floor jacks. 3 ton $179, 3.5 ton $210. First I have no experience with gear wrench, what has been your experience and what is the rumor on the street about these jacks or their tools in general? And for the money is there a...

the tools are so lightly used like the saw I'd hate to chuck them. Maybe I'll check the battery rebuilder out.

As you can tell my first power tool set was the Dewalt 14.4 V set. Lightly used and they worked great. Is their any value to these any more? Can you even find a battery?

Not sure where you live and what your winters are like, but do you use salt to melt ice on those stairs?

Just tell the truss company what you want to do and they will place a storage load on the bottom chord. It maybe a matter of changing the locations or number of the web members.
