^^^ Was always my favorite.

SO are pretty thin. Generally, all sockets are made to DIN standards so apart from a few odd manufacturers there are all the same more or less.

Do you not know that it says ICON on it??? A must for a HF tool collector. I've discovered a 1/4" SO breaker not long ago. Been using it ever since. Why? It's slim and goes into places in race cars where 1/4" ratchet cannot fit. Have a 18" 3/8 and a pair of 1/2 (18" and 24"). I can't...

Looks alright (except for the stoned guy in the video) but hardly groundbreaking. First set or a home set, errrmm maybe. Another set? No way.

Use Google search - works a lot better. Type in the following in the search bar (omitting the ""): "workbench site:garagejournal.com" Then switch to Images. Brew a cup of your favourite hot drink and enjoy.

Lincoln Electrics makes a welding one out of cowhide. No reason not to use it outside of welding applications. Quality item.

I'm sure it is as easy clipping on a battery as it is an air line. I'd just need to make sure I pre-charge all of the batteries for day's use. And repeat this about 8-10 times with each one of them as I go through my day. Nothing if you've a dozen of batteries and charges lying around eh...

Never, not in a million years! My air tools are typically preloaded with sockets, flap discs, saw blades for quick and easy operation. I can't imagine the amount of batteries I'd have to have on the tools all charged and ready... it just doesn't make sense. Not financially, not with the current...

It's funny as we have an old Makita LXT 1/2 impact lying around the shop for those moments when the air compressor is down etc. It's not particularly cared for yet never skipped a bit. I just checked the COO - yup, Japan it is. :beer:

I love my MG275 but must admit, the new SO impact gun line made me want to trade my impacts almost instantly. I'll wait to see what the feedback is like on them.

Still made in Taiwan though? The ratcheting mechanism is patented by a Taiwanese inventor :lol_hitti

Is this the one with non-removable jaws? I'd give it a miss then.

Totally agree with the above. Unless you weld like once a year, get separate carts for MIG, TIG and plasma. Maybe combine the plasma with MIG.

This is gold.

It's all good brother. Thanks for your input :thumbup::beer:
