Atlas and Amgo are both made by the same company last I knew (Peak I believe it's called) I've had and have been around plenty of Atlas lifts, that is why I wasn't scared to try an Amgo. Hell my current 10K Atlas even says Amgo on the door bumper pads (bought the lift new) :lol:

I've used an Amgo OH-12S almost daily for the last few years for 3/4 and 1 ton pickups. No issues with the lift, I just wish the arms sat a little higher when on the top locks. Might not be an issue for some people, I'm just over 6 ft tall and it can be annoying at times. I can walk under my...

You probably know this but OP might not.....leaking intake manifold gaskets are not uncommon on these engines (Im assuming he has a V8). Will cause a rough idle when cold or all the time if they are leaking bad enough. Fuel trims will read high at idle and should return to normal when you run...

I've cleaned a million and one of those MAF sensors with brakleen. Even bending a Q-tip to reach in from the back side (since they have a screen on the inlet side) to give everything a little wipe. OH NO!!! INTERNET SAYS YOU CANT DO THAT!! Those particular MAFs can handle it fine. Save the...

Not that I'm aware of. I thought I might miss the rocker trigger when I ditched Snappy and went to Milwaukee but I dont find it to be a big deal. I can run the forward/reverse selector on the Milwaukee with the inner part of my thumb and index finger....no different than most drills that have...

Sounds like they will hardly get worn, I'd imagine anything you think looks good and is comfortable will hold up just fine.

As said, skip the old ni-cad ones. I bet snap on doesn't even make the batteries for them anymore and that's probably why you see them for sale cheap. The current model ct761 I have (had) a love/hate relationship with. Very nice when they work but mine never worked. I had to have three just to...

Thanks for the info. Im guessing it will work as well. If it doesn't for some reason I'll just have to return the Astro kit and get a Lisle. Unless I'm not searching enough I couldn't find an adapter through you guys.

I've tried searching but cant find any definitive answer. The Astro 78835 and Lisle 17350 pipe stretcher kits look identical to me other than the 80 dollar price tag difference. Does anyone know if there is actually a difference or not? I would like to buy the cheaper priced Astro kit but my...

I have the Astro branded ones in 1/4 and 3/8" and the HF Quinn branded ones in 1/2" drive. I use my 1/2" drive ones more than the 1/4 and 3/8 combined. My business is mostly automotive but quite a bit of ag related diesel also. For the price it doesn't make sense not to have them :lol...

I was looking at either an Icon or Tekton earlier strictly for tire duty. I would have no problem with either one. Ended up finding a basically new Precision locally for $50. Kid said he "upgraded" to a Snap On and said the snappy dealer wasn't going to give him anything for his PI :lol: Its...

I was stating(in a doubtful manner) that I would like to see a standard style automotive test light that pulls 5 amps since it would be the size of a ******* headlight. Just like you I also know there are headlights can pull more or less than 5 amps so I guess we are both right and both wrong...

I'm just generalizing. Typical 55 watt headlight. Doesn't really matter for the purpose of this thread.

All my semi deep 1/2" sockets are Harbor Freights that have been cut down. Works just fine. Cost 20 bucks and a bit of your time.

1 amp I'm sure there is. 5 amp? I'd like to see that. A standard headlight doesn't even pull that much at 12v. I just have various lights/heaters/solenoids/etc that I have turned into tools to load test circuits. Math it out or use an amp clamp to figure out what it draws and write it on...
