I've used tekton for years now and always been happy with the tools.

Only breaker bar I've ever broken was a 90s craftsmen 18in bar. I had a 4 or 5 foot bar on it bouncing. When it broke I hit the ground my dad and my buddy who were working with me laughed. that was probably 17 years ago now.

Look up Mooremotorsports on youtube. He has done some really good paintjobs with lots of prep and rattle cans. even goes back and reveiewshis work later on down the road on some cars.

My ole lady's dad is 64. Still healthy, retired, and active still. a garage full of harleys in various states of disrepair and tools. 2 drag cars as well. his plan is let his kids make some money off it. He said its his and he never dreamed he'd have any of it growing up a poor kid. He plans on...

I have Facoms at home and a set of stubbt durateck at work. both fill the need. if you want a nicer set with large openings check out V8 tools or mass fabricator

I have both a amazon Ex-tech and a fluke at home. honestly for everything home and hobby related they are both fine except testing capacitors in my furnace and A/C bnit. the fluke has a setting for microfarads as the Ex-Tech does not. Other that that I prob grab the EX-Tech more often not at...

I have one of these on my cabinet I still use it working on small engines. I have a small collection of dwell meters. Still needed if you're messing with old cars or tractors. although i have to admit I'm thinking about upgrading my Dist on my old truck to eliminate dwell... As far as small...

Check out Torque Test Channel on Youtube. Great data driven reviews and comparisons.. On the low end of pricing check out Hercules and Buaer from Harbor freight, Craftsmen released a very budget friendly 1/2. Ryobi is always hard to beat other than looking at them. For a at home platform...

I've had a set of Tekton Metric wrenches for a few years now. Actually on my second set. Lost a few too many of the first set through moving around during my separation from my Ex-Wife. I bought the set I still use when they were 60 bucks a set. I've been wanting to get more of there stuff. I...

I have a older Rigid 1/2 impact, gift from a buddy a few years ago. good tool but does hold candle to a cordless 1/2 impact. My M18 is worlds better than it so is my buddy's Hercules ultra torque is as well. Actually my Fuel 3/8 mid torque will pull car lugs faster than the coded tool. It...

It has a garage but the available space in it for me to use is about 7x25. There is a bedroom built into it and I have to build a 4th bedroom due to my family size. That takes up most of the garage. I'm got a spot close I'm going to build a garage after I get it leveled. It's hopefully going to...

its changed a bit more. currently have both sides organized and full. rubber anti fatigue mats down. I'm closing on a house this week so there wont be a lot more updates here other than some pics and when I replace the door on it. I wont be moving till summer though I am wanting my kids to...

I would be looking at a Just Tig unit. Make sure the unit has HF start (saves money over time in tungsten annd just easier to use) and the ability to use a pedal. Both of those will make a huge difference in your welds and ease of use.

I may get one of these before the winter is over.

Few hundred all in the classified section... I rarely buy new.
