Had them for over a month, very happy with them. Used the 16,18,19 a bunch breaking hard to get to fastners free.

Spent a few hours today with the 93808. We can't use power tools due to the threat that the hardware may become magnetized on these rolls. The little astro was a pleasure to use today. Job well done.

Pm sent Thank you

I had been holding out on buying a snap on rachet, but I pick up a new THLL72 and I love that rachet. It has to be a damn near perfect 1/4 rachet.

My armstrong wrenches are my favorites, here are a few

Monday morning Craigslist find, older Snap On Master Interchangeable Puller Set CJ000S. Hardly any use has been just hanging on a smog shops wall. A little rusty but perfect for me since I'm get transferred into a service truck in a few weeks. $300

I picked up the Mac Axis locking flex 18". It's a real pleasure to use. But while changing my wife's brakes yesterday, it is starting to feel loose inside. Haven't explored the problem yet, may just have the Mac guy check it out.

Just a small order. #6868 $5 Mystery Bag 1 Husky 4" Cotter Key Pin Extractor 1 AJAX #945 1" Hammer Air Hammer Attachment 1 Wilde 4" Handled Pry Bar w/striking end cap

Torqued the crank bolts on a Cursor 12.9, 89 ft lbs then 90°. Had to use a 3ft long 3/4 breaker bar to get them 90°. My 1/2 air gun couldn't break them when I took the flywheel off, had use a 3/4 gun.

I have the 24" Pittsburgh 1/2 breaker and will get another when I break this one. Used it to hold bolts that had to get torqued to 400 ft lbs (Photo of bolts on the carrier bearing housing, 550 Quadtrac. For reference that's a 1/2 Mac axis laying in the photo). I'll abuse the breaker bar before...

I'm liking that 27" ratchet

Stopped at Napa today and they had a special 1/2 impact on sale for $99. Identical specs as the Carlyle 6-1123 ($260) wanted a new impact so one came home with me. Can't find it on their website. Comes the 6-1123 manual.

Upgraded the HF rachet to a Mac, but I'm stuck in training and can't use it.

I have the 24" 1/2 120xp and have no complaints. It's very good in some tight spots. Waiting for the 1/2 120xp torque to show up, then I can comment on it.

I use a Klein MM600, was under a $100. It's been very dependable and has a drop rating to 6ft.
