    I'm happy with it, putting those three sets in one drawer literally freed up another entire drawer in my 36" roll cab.

    I’ve been wanting a ratcheting screwdriver to put in my Harley tool kit, and came across this purple one on the truck last week: Also had FoamFit Tools make me a few organizers, one was for my 3 sets of Icon T-handles and another for the Icon SAE & Metric stubby flex ratcheting wrenches;

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I actually like that they limited the 1/4” to 100 ft lbs, just as they did the newest 1/4” ratchet - otherwise it would be really easy to start snapping bolt heads. Also, I think the tools being the same exact size makes that risk even greater (on both the impact wrench and the ratchet). I’ve...

    The subcompact isn’t made in 1/2”, only 3/8” and 1/4”. If you’re referring to the one you linked, I own it in 3/8”, FWIW. Initial feedback here. I’ll probably pick up the 1/4” soon, I absolutely LOVE my 3/8”.

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    I've been waiting for these to drop further from the $195 clearance they've had at Home Depot since early February. Went ahead and bought this morning, stacked a $15 coupon I had to grab for $145.

    My Snap-on guy has been flaky for a while... Orders taking forever, which is important because he never seems to have anything I need on the truck. So I decided to try ordering from the Snap-on website to see how it goes. I was blown away. I placed my order just before noon on Monday morning...

    Completely agree - I've switched to Valvoline for my gear oil specifically because they started selling them in these pouches a few years ago. Those little pumps ****.

    Yeah, I'm liking the power so far. On common things that I had to manually break loose before like drain pan bolts, skid plate bolts, and Nylock (and similar) nuts, I've been able to just hit the trigger and go...

    @Steel_Rain I wouldn't call it "unhealthy," but it's definitely a different, lower pitched noise.

    Cat (Snap-On) tool haul

    There's a new 20% discount code, SHOPTOOL20. I used it this morning on the 12 point 3/8 metric deep & shallow sets.

    Floor jacks - Harbor Freights Daytona Super Duty vs. Daytona Long reach/Low profile - who wins?

    Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been away from GJ for a few years... No issues whatsoever. I recently sold my lift in preparation for a move, so I've been using this jack a lot more recently. Just did rear brakes last night on one of our FJs, it just keeps working flawlessly.

    Pliers for Small Engine Fuel Hoses

    I've used this Gearwrench set for about 5 years and have been very happy with them - I've yet to damage any hoses I've worked on with them.

    I'm glad you're liking them as much as I am. I was able to quickly sell my old high speed ratchets for $100 each (I'm glad I sold them when I did, because this weekend I saw HD clearing them out for $130 brand new in store), plus I had a coupon to use at HD so I wound up coming out of pocket...

    I picked up the 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 models last week, upgraded from the high speed (Gen 2?) ratchets. After using these for a week I had ZERO hesitation selling all my high speed ratchets, these are awesome. Lighter, stronger, and the ergonomics are fantastic. The one thing I immediately noticed...
