    Please suggest a good $100 jack for Truck and SUV

    I use a 3 ton from TSC bought for $80 plus tax. A bit tall for low cars but I can usually give it a quick push/pull to get it where it needs to be. Rated for 3 ton but I know some of the combines and loaded wagons got to be nearer to 5 or even 6 tons where we've used it and it holds just fine...

    New 3/4" IR Impact... no Power.. Can you help

    Likely dry inside wore out and in need of a rebuild kit. Had to do both our 1/2 and 3/4 IR's, pretty straight forward and not that expensive either considering the price of a new one.

    Need help with torch info?

    Nice find. I bought a used Victor and had to replace 1 or 2 o-rings (can't remember) but other than that all good. Any supplier should refill or exchange your tanks provided they are in good shape.

    tool set for a birthday gift

    I have some Stanley and use around the farm and they've held up about the same as our Craftsman stuff on the whole. Actually, I think the 3/8" ratchets are better than C'man and the black finish sockets are fine, a few of the shiny ones are peeling though.
