Just received my digital pressure indicator. Definitely not a need but used one in training out at Tinaja Hills and decided to snag one. Tried to order one through work but it was cat back ordered so bought an OTC. Still waiting on the another 5k psi transducer and cable.

Always losing pocket pry bars. Decided to buy a 20 pack off eBay, should last me a month or 2. Seem to be decent quality.

Well, don’t need another air impact cause I got proto 1/2 and 3/8 stubbies, IR 261 and IR 295 but might end up testing it out and maybe giving it to one of the new apprentices. Definitely interesting concept, can’t wait to test it!

Hey man, just my two cents but the cornwell screwdrivers haven’t been great for me and I definitely regret buying them. Had horrible problems with the grips and have broken too many to count. I also bought the capri angle wrenches and ended up selling them a week later and bought some used Mac...

Forgot to take before picture but 3/4 Milwaukee was a great pick up for when shop air is a pain to use.

Mainly, just earthmoving equipment or personal vehicles.

At the moment, got a 966 that came back from being used at the dump with a laundry list of issues and a couple 836 PDI’s. E: 🐛 tech

Got tired of getting clowned on at work for using 3/4 sockets with a 1” impact so picked these up today

Our Mac guy takes care of us so it works out. Money is a little tight at the moment with inflation and my current situation so seeing the $133 vs $250 hurts a bit but thats life.. They are my favorite wrenches by a long shot though.

I feel like crying. I paid $250+tax for my metric Mac set.

Was a toss up between the Proto and the Astro for a new 1/2 stubby to replace my Harbor Freight earthquake stubby. Something in my monkey brain made me pick the more expensive Proto just cause it looked better even though they seem pretty even proformance wise. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, I was also curious. I used them to remove the cover plate for checking chain tension on a 246 wheeled skid. Applied a decent amount of torque to break the bolts loose due rtv getting in some of the threads but had minimal bite marks on the fasteners. I could always use them on some...

Wasn't sure if the metric rbrt wrench set in my last post was worth the money. I had rounded off fittings and bolts on multiple machines this week that my cat wrenches seemed to just make worse but the metric rbrt's were able to break them loose. Definitely a fan and picked up the sae set...

Picked up a 1" IR, non-slip deep 10-19mm matco 3/8 and Mac metric rbrt wrench set this week. Only the wrench set has gotten some use so far. Worked great on crusty rounded off hydraulic pump bolts but still not sure if they are worth the $270.
