    Those were made by nutec and rebranded by mac and matco. The older models were miller. It is still a descent welder though.

You would need this style drill with a solid 1 1/2 bit. Core bit will not work because the core will still be left there afterwards. Our drill was...

    Q for the Auto Mechanics here: Best Oil Filter? and worst? and what does dealer use?

    I personally use wix xp oil filters on my duramax and napa pro selects on my cobalt. Use motorcraft filters on my father inlaws truck. I prefer to usewix/napa or the oe filter. The spec's on the wix xp filters is pretty good. Id check them out.

    Nicked a chunk from my Blue Point wrench. Is this normal?

    These wrenches are more susceptible to this because the steel is a little cheaper. But ive done this to my snap-on wrenches before. So don't feel to bad.

    What kind of oil does everyone use on there air tools and around the house?

    I do about 3 drops of air tool oil every 2-3 days on average. Some times only once a week. Over oiling isn't always the best.

    Westward 80L Parts Washer

    I never was a fan of that style but it works. Its all preference. Thats a god deal if it all works. The seals is a big ??? If the machine was designed for aequous wash then it may not be compatable with solvent based products.

    Blue Point, Blackhawk, JH Williams, Silver Eagle

    Williams is the only one with a quality made us made wrench. Id go willams. Supperior to the rest of those brands. Silver eagle is made by husky. Blue point being similar to that. Just cheaply made chinese tools.

    Swivel and hex drive sockets. Whats good for the money?

    For bit type sockets ie.torx, allen, etc. ive found snap-on and VIM to be about the best. Last the longest and don't dull/round out fast. They are worth the money in my opinion.

    Does Snap-On make any bad tools?

    Its all opinion. Im not a fan of the new instinct screwdriver handles. Not a fan of their version of a chanellock plier/water pump pliers. They are big bulky and not really that great. Multimeters are over rated. Just buy fluke way better. The epiq tool boxes and carts are way too damn expensive.

    Scan tool recomendations

    I wouldn't recomend an autel product. Like said above everytime you turn around they are getting sues. I personally used the maxidas and it was a sliw pos that froze all the time. I use snap-on scanners along with a launch x431 pad, tech 2, drb3 and wds.
