Yeah, he can seem like that if you just parachute into his channel and this video is your only frame of reference. He just moved into a new shop and is not a typical video for him with most videos of him doing salvage rebuilds. His is from the Chicago area and his dry wit and sarcasm does...

vehcor is not for the short attention span viewers. Scott is also not losing sleep over anybody here either not liking him.

Milwaukee 2863-20 M18 1/2" Drive Impact Tool. This was my home use impact and that saw the occasional tire change and Jeep suspension work. In perfect working order. Bare tool only. Selling for $125 shipped. Looking for Paypal, VENMO or Zelle payment. SOLD!

Used it the other day for the first time on a suspension job on my Jeep and by the third wack, head and handle got all wobbly. Will have to figure that out. I really do not like messing with handle replacements.

I weighed it yesterday and with handle came to 1 lb, 11 oz. So 1.5 lbs or 24 oz head.

It is smaller than a 2.5lbs HF one I have. Maybe 1.5lbs? Not sure how these were sized when sold.

Picked up a small Channellock vintage sledge hammer today at the flea market for $3.

Just noticed their typo of 2024 for year.

Same here. Bought a **** ton from them when I was filling out my garage and tool boxes.

Received a email from Tooltopia that they are closing down their ecommerce website on 1/22/25. Seems they are concentrating on their shop equipment "Atlas Auto Equipment". No clue if they are totally getting out of hand tools. While I have not ordered from them of late, they were always one of...

What is ironic is that Mel Brooks had a Gentlemen's agreement with George Lucas permission to parody the Stars Wars franchise as he saw fit (minus a few exceptions) but he was not allowed by Lucas to officially merchandise the Spaceballs movie. Any Spaceballs merchandise you see today is...

NAPA and consistency has never been their strong suit. Only you know your patience level to know when to cut bait, but I would be looking to another tool source in the future if you are wanting less instances of what you are dealing with now.

Those look like ***. Channellock will warranty them for workmanship. I had a set of 386 bent nose pliers that looked like they were finished by Helen Keller. Channellock took them back and gave me an acceptable replacement pair. Took about two weeks to get them swapped...

The "Made in Germany" label does not necessarily mean the majority content, raw materials, assembly and final finishing is done in Germany. They are pretty loose with that label over there and many of the German brands have initial stage manufacturing done in Eastern Europe locations.

We noticed the same thing at work where we make detail parts used in aviation manufacturing. They stopped ordering Sharpie brand markers and just use the Milwaukee ones now. I think the Milwaukee ones also have a better shelf life than Sharpie. I know Sharpie makes some more specialized markers...
