http://www.harborfreight.com/merchandising-promotions/merchandising/weekly-sale/6-ton-jack-stand-set-38847.html 6-ton jackstands for the price of 3-ton ones, and over 1/2 off regular price of $55

On sale items qualify for the 20%. that's how I got my 5 drawer. 149 at parking lot sale w/ 20% came out to 120 before tax. a bargain for that box, it's sweet. I've had problems with online price matching then adding the 20% on top of that, but if you persuade the cashier they'll let it slide...

GW makes some good products. I own the straight and locking flex head wrenches, 1/4 and 3/8 roto-head ratchets, extendable indexing prybar and 7pc pick set. My first wrench set is Taiwan made and bought it over 10 years ago off the SO truck for 35 bucks. probably my least expensive truck...

Some large primary tube SBC headers have very little clearance depending on what chassis they're in. these long wrenches and 12 pt. ARP's keep things snug for sure. I'm in the same boat, glad to hear a few satisfied users. I don't think I've ever used an 11mm anything. All my 11's are brand...

If air pressure and volume isn't a problem, then +1 on the tip above. It will sound choked up.

Thanks for the info above, Also found the similar wrenches from names like ATD and V8 Tools Probably from the same supplier?

I own a SO set of 15* offset 12 pt long double box wrenches I use mainly on header bolts and other hard to reach stuff. this is the hot ticket for headers with pretty bends and huge primaries that make it a PITA to actually tighten them so the gaskets never leak. I want to get a set of 0*...

3X on the junk factor. the lack of automatic turn on is my biggest gripe. Plus has anyone noticed that they are all on when you open the box.

I envy you :thumbup: Then again it's probably best that I'm not so close to one.

Always use a torque wrench for final torque on lug nuts and most fasteners for that matter. These are supposed to get you close, without over-torquing and damaging the fastener. ALWAYS, regardless of gun brand, rattle stick brand or air psi used. :beer:

True, but I only make the trip to HF about 2X a year and i'd probably forget to take it back at tht time, I bought it for 6 or 7 bucks years before on sale and then it just sat. finally decided to take it apart, nothing wrong, decided to modify the air inlet and valve. hissed a lot more but...

EPIC FAIL: their website :lol_hitti

I probably got one from a bad batch, got a reversible Matco one now that is unstoppable. I'll probably get another HF one for home, figure I might get lucky this time I haven't tried any HF guns, and probably never will mainly because I have several already. They may be fine for a weekend...

First post here after reading this thread the whole day. I've been pleasantly surprised with the majority of HF purchases over the past 10 years or so. I've been getting bolder with my purchases, moving up to power tools and electronics lately. I mean why not? I walked the power tool isle at...
