I do a lot of work on vintage Mercedes and am looking for a good quality ratcheting crimp tool with interchangeable dies. I currently have a Pro-Crimper III by TE Connectivity with a single die for their PIDG red, blue and yellow terminals. It works fine, is made in Taiwan, but the dies are...

They do need rebuilding but am having a hard time finding a 1/2" or 3/8" repair kit with a gear that small to fit in the body. Would love to keep them as they are.

Acquired these recently and just curious what in the heck is going on here. 1/2" drive gear in a 3/8" ratchet body.....3/8" in a 1/4" frame? The Snap on Ratchets are FM70 and F720, Matco is AR6F.

That is "The Geek" for ya, I am a professional detailer and have spent thousands with these guys but gotta be careful with the sale stipulations and shipping across the country to me in California can be a nightmare. And the Tornador black is awesome.

Aren't they hose pinch pliers? I have a Craftsman set that is Made in the USA and looks identical.

The braun slim LED is one of the better lights I have purchased for working on cars. Great magnet, and the best part, removable 18650. I would take it over that lowes light any day.

4 of my good friends worked at the local sears, and before it closed, got this for $20....among a storage shed full of other items :D

Yes, which makes these lights an easy install.

That's a different set of cutters than the ones I bought earlier (the ones you posted originally) 7144E vs. 7182E

I did and it was auto-declined. Seems like $30 is the magic number.

Or buy new ones at the sale price, and take them straight to return with the old full price receipt. Much less of a pain :thumbup:

Got mine a couple days ago and got to use it on a toyota today, worked very well until the hood struts on the car decided to **** out and the hood came crashing down on my new light. Well, at least I got to use it for a couple hours before the bulb got smashed. Next purchase, a telescoping...

Thanks for the heads up on the DG 503. I grabbed a couple gallons for my detail shop since we use this stuff quite often....although rarely on RV's or fiberglass, mainly cars.

FYI, I just bought a shallow Kobalt set and a pieced together an Armstrong deep set, I also had about $60 worth of other stuff on the same invoice, $14 combined shipping for everything.

Got a red one last night for $32.
