M18 Heat Gun I use my heat gun quite a bit at work and coworkers think im strange dragging out extension cords instead of using a torch :confused: but i never burn wires or over shrink and split connections. Even if the battery life wasn't amazing i would buy it. Its not like im doing...

I picked up a TLLF72 1/4 Ratchet and Swapped a FCF72 3/8 rebuild kit into it. :thumbup: I used my RAF80 low pro ratchet and sockets all the time to get into tight places and this long handle TLLF With the Head swap ends up being about the same size, if not a touch thinner depending on the...

Picked up the New SnapOn T400 Butane Torch Yesterday. I think it was just released @ the SO Franchisee trade show a week or so ago but my driver had 6 or 8 of them when he showed up yesterday morning so i snagged one up.

Plus they are kind of local, and the utility company i now work for have their own rep and have been...

So I blew my tool budget for Q1 2016 I already have a M12 1/4 Hex Driver, M12 Drill and a M12 3/8 Ratchet. All the Impacts and the Drill are Gen 2 Fuel. Overall it was a large expense, But i believe i got my moneys worth. I cant wait to get them in the tool box and see how much they change...
