I would specifically want a 3/8" drive with the faster RPM. I didn't find the higher torque rating of the 1st Gen being superior to the faster RPM of the 2nd Gen. If the bolt/nut wouldn't loosen on tool power (which happens to be most things I wouldn't use a ratchet like this for anyways...) I...

Figured it was rebranded. Found it. CDI 401SM. Funny thing on Zoro, the Urrea is priced $110 higher. Correct. USA made. I can barely make it out on the box- Hecho en EUA

Picked this up with a GearWrench 90T 1/2" Long Ratchetfor $15 for both. Looks to be a Mexican industrial brand.

I'm guessing that size and cost don't scale linearly.

I'm looking to get a 1200SF shop built in Round Rock, TX. Might be 30x40 or 20x60. Land is very level. I need electric, slab able to mount a hydraulic lift, and insulation if I'm fancy enough. What's a ballpark figure assuming I will not be doing any of the work. What did y'all pay for your...

Thread Update: I cut flutes into the bolts with a dremel. This has solved 99% of the problems. I still grease the bolts and haven't had to swap any out since. The hard ARP bolts with flutes act like a tap in the softer metal.

Thanks for the replies. To answer some questions, I prefer a flanged head on the bolt since I don't have to run a washer. Lower grade bolts with flange heads tend to bend at the threads unless I have both bolts exactly seated at the same depth, especially when I'm forcing it. I run a pretty...

I run hardened (10.9) ARP bolts with my pullers for steering wheel removals since I've found they they rarely bend. I remove lots of steering wheels for my business (+/- 1000/yr). Over time the threads flatten out and I am unable to correct them with my dies since the bolts are so hard. I can't...

And you have tests to prove that!

It never occurred to me to use some hardened high grade washers with grease for this. I'll try this for the forcing screw and report back.

I have and use all three regularly: 2767-20 Fuel M18 High Torque 1/2 dr (and 3/4 dr- they're the same with different anvils) 2960-20 Fuel M18 Mid Torque 3/8 dr 2554-20 Fuel M12 Stubby 3/8 dr The 2767-20 has a lot of power. But it is heavy/cumbersome. It likes big batteries like 5.0 or higher...

Looking for a new 2-Jaw puller. I pull a lot of late 90's Ford steering wheels that require a 2-Jaw puller. I have a Performance Tool W84500 (or it looks very close) and want something better. The things I'm looking for are a forged construction and some sort of interchangeable center press tip...

Put the duffel/ tool bag in a 6 mil black trashbag.
