    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    These are great extensions. The Pittsburgh ones are honestly not too bad, especially when they go on sale for $10, but these Icons are so much nicer. I have yet to break one, and I use them heavily.

    About 7-8 years now I believe. That backpack sprayer came out maybe 2-3 years ago max, if that.

    I have two sets of these, one for several years. Actually right when they started the Maddox brand. The threads on that set are beginning to show wear, but nothing you wouldn't expect from several years of use with an impact lol. Keep them clean and the threads oiled and you'll get a lot of use...

    Speaking of impact drivers, the Hercules 20v brushless 1/4" driver is a PASS. I've used it a good bit so far, and I love it. Nice and compact, and plenty of power. It's replaced my M12 stubby 3/8" impact as my go-to. I got the kit so I could get some extra batteries, plus I had HF money from my...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I'm not sure about the output, but I use my USB ports regularly in my shop to charge my lights, phone, etc. and it seems to charge my iPhone 15 pretty quickly. Not quite as fast as my Anker 20w, but faster than any car charger or other USB A adapter I've used. On the topic, I have the orange US...

    My gen 2 44" has been great as well. The only complaint I have is that the drawers do not extend fully, but that has been established that it's a crapshoot with these boxes. Otherwise the slides have held up fine, and I have it very much loaded up.

    Snap On Eco134 AC Machine Overload Protection?

    Never got a notification and forgot to check… oops! Thanks for the replies guys. I believe that is the same model, I’d have to double check the model number. That gauge seems to be accurate, and based on the temperature chart listed next to it, it is where it should be. I’ll have to double check...

    Snap On Eco134 AC Machine Overload Protection?

    I need some help with this old Snap On Eco134 recovery machine I picked up a while back. It powers on, however when I turn on the compressor I get a relay "click", then within a few seconds it clicks again and the overload light comes on. I have not been able to find ANYTHING on troubleshooting...

    Hercules 12v Ratchet Repair Kits

    Just curious if anyone here has repaired their Hercules 12v cordless ratchet head. I have a 3/8" long reach that I'd like to get working again, since the pawl broke in half. I got a Milwaukee repair kit on Amazon, but the pawl was a little too small. I've considered just buying a Milwaukee to go...

    Another 2 Post Lift Anchor Thread

    That's a fair point. I'm not going to any extent testing things though... I rent my shop, this gets the job done. My next shop when I buy one will be well-prepared for a lift, even if I have to re-pour concrete in the spot. Obviously I value my own safety working under a lift, and I feel my...

    Another 2 Post Lift Anchor Thread

    With this thread newly bumped, I'll add that I've used my lift just about every day since installing it, and have had zero issues with the Sika epoxy. I check the torque once a month or so, and I've only had maybe two nuts need to turn the slightest bit to achieve the torque (75-80 ft lb) the...

    I use them for engines and transmissions all the time. I actually have a Volvo 5 cylinder long block with the trans still attached sitting on one of the larger ones right now... little sketchy, it's flexing badly, but it's working for the time being! Even better, I used two of these small...

    I love that jack. I've had mine for a few years now, and it's been great. I can't go back to using my older 3 ton Pittsburgh that I keep at home.

    Yeah I have to say those Aldi batteries are also really good for the price.

    I personally haven't had any leakage with the cheap batteries, but I'm sure it's more likely to happen with those than the better ones. In general, they're alright for very low drain devices.
