I see. Heavy torque would be a nice option, but I'm a small engine mechanic for Sears. So I wonder bout how heavy the limit is.... I'm considering just getting the 1/4" one, the T-handle feature could save some time. Anyone know of a better version that could handle more torque? Do they...

Bump. Anyone use a fancier roto-lock ratchet? Its got the T-handle option which is more of an add-on than the locking part to me. Does anyone that has it like it more than a regular roto-ratchet? Or do all the gadgets get in the way? I'm looking to purchase my first roto. Like this...

Haven't tried them and that doesn't really say much lol. But I'm interested too in how they work. Seems like Omega only sells good ****

I emailed them awhile back about if they would be good in an impact driver. It went like this:" VHS100A Vega Standard Master Industrial Screwdriver Bit Set, 100 Piece Are the bits in this set good for use in an impact driver? ( 1,200 in. Lbs. Torque) Usually products specify but I can't find...

Anyone want a 10$ off 75$ at sears code? I won't be able to use it, got it on a receipt. Expires 1/20/16. 9700060539623794

Thanks, just ordered it.

Hell yeah. I bought the m12 3/8 impact wrench kit about a month ago. So I'm thinking about returning that and ordering the 3/8 impact with the 1/4 ratchet kit. The 1/4" ratchet has 30 ft. lbs torque, is that enough for most 1/4" fasteners? Is it worth the buy?

The longer ones are a lot more expensive. Why? Are they worth investing in? I'm training to do small engine work. Anyone have recommendations on sets of files to get? Quality but not top price. Around 5 a file would be nice, could go a little higher. Maybe 10 if it was an incredible set.

Yeah thats what I meant. I guess I can read that whole catalog if I want to know more, thanks.

I'm curious and I couldn't find a thread on it here. I see its a difference in the fineness, with three grades from coarse to smooth in American, and eight grades in Swiss. Who actually needs that much precision or fineness? Would it be beneficial in engine repair? As a side question, I'm...

Yeah I dont wanna guesstimate. Beam torque wrenches should be fairly reliable and accurate though, would you agree on Gearwrench 0-60in.lbs and Craftsman's beam's probably a good bet? I want a large range, low budget. I am gonna get the Precision instruments 40-200in. lbs 1/4" drive clicker new...

Kastar's does say its made in USA on tooltopia, and the product number is the same as Lang's (3495). I'm guessing theyre the same. Anyone have these? I'll be getting them at some point unless I hear something.

So do you think gearwrench is a bad beam? Seems like Armstrong rebrands it. How do you get a bad beam? I'm not going with the cheapest at least. Some people exclusively use beams, they're harder to read but I can deal with the hassle for awhile. Then when I upgrade I can use these to test...
