I grabbed a set of the 20-30mm ratcheting wrenches as well.

Well after trying close to a month later, it finally worked sort of. The coupon brought the total of the cart down to $56 and the shipping charge was $24. Instead I grabbed another item to bring the total up to $100 and got the free shipping.

I own a Tacoma along with other cars and 9 times out of 10 I use my ratcheting wrenches on whatever car I’m working on.

I have my shopping cart total at $105 after the discount code with the cart and some pliers. Still not offering free shipping. Now if I add three sets of pliers to my order, minus the cart it gives me free shipping. Seems like they are still charging shipping for oversize packages.

I tried to order one last night around 6pm east coast time and they were all gone.

For what it’s worth I placed a decent sized order on 6/15 and it was delivered on 6/21 and 6/23 I’m in PA.

They were heavily discounted on SK tool deals page. They are really a nice set of sockets. They are priced now at $188, which is nuts.

Uhhh if I had the time I'd make a trip out there.

x2 I use my Fenix headlamp all the time, especially when I'm wrenching on my cars. Just came back from an RV trip, nothing like BBQing on the beach at night with a bright *** headlamp.

I wonder which 18v impact wrench you bought 3 years ago? I experienced a similar situation with my 18v impact wrench, the construction and build quality were good but it lacked torque. It would seriously struggle to remove lug nuts or anything near 100 ft lbs torqued. That was model XWT11Z it’s...

This guy on YouTube “tools and stuff” has done a lot of reviews and direct comparisons between Makita’s 18v line and the new 40v line. I personally have no plans on upgrading anytime soon. My 18v & 36v tools are more then sufficient for my automotive and welding needs.

I think it’s going to be a looooong time before they dump the 18v line. Didn’t Makita have new tools come out last year for the 18v line? It feels like they keep upgrading/improving 1/2” impact wrenches every few months. They just released new 18v grinders last month lol.

I bought a 7” Makita angle grinder last week on eBay. Model number GA7021 certified refurbished unit with full warranty $103. It’s a beast but should be useful for tackling bigger jobs. I’ve used it already, interesting the amount of torque/power the 7” grinders have compared to my 5” Makita...

I actually still have and use my Makita LXDT04 impact driver manufacture date is 12/2011 lol so yeah it’s old school, works great though.

I’m running the same impact, it’s a powerful driver. I also have that vacuum been running it for a few months now, I take this thing with me everywhere. It does the job, but I wish it had a little more power I’m sure the next model will. I’d still buy it again without a doubt though. The...
