Hey everyone, Wasn't sure where to post this so i'll post it here? Only being an apprentice mechanic i was getting mixed answers as to how to clean my cylinder block down, some said 120grit sandpaper, others say wizzy disc's (which im against) etc etc. I'm getting mixed answers whether or...

Cheers for that. I'm a light vehicle apprentice mecahnic, so nothing too big. The occasional truck here an tehre, but we don't see F-series or Dodge rams too often here down under, so mainly smaller utes (pick-ups) and landcruisers etc. Yeah for sure! On paper it looks like a huge step up...

Yeah, i do have an air impact but the airline really bugs me, especially after using my impact driver with a socket adapter in it. The impact driver is awesome but does not have enough power. I'm a light vehicle mechanic, so something that can handle wheel nuts on bigger vehicles (small...

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has the mid-torque Milwaukee half inch impact? Do you find it has enough power? I currently use a Milwaukee impact driver with socket adapters on it, and it just doesn't have enough power. I fear that the big Milwaukee half inch will have too much power...

Nope, Australia

Thanks for your input. Yeah, I did return it, this was 4 weeks ago when it failed. I contacted them last Friday and they literally forgot about it, and only sent it off for analysing the day I spoke to them. I'll give it another go if i do get a new drill out of it, but yeah the drill never...

Hey everyone, so i got told to try Milwaukee by a few friends, but some older technicians at work said otherwise (they suggested Hitachi or Makita etc). Anyway, i went ahead and bought the Milwaukee M18BPP2D-202C drill/impact driver combo kit. Anyway, first time i used the drill, i blew it up...

Wow okay, i didn't think blue point quality was that bad. I own bluepoint sockets and they seem to be holding up. But our snap-on man replaces blue-point sockets with Snap-On sockets if they break. Yeah, they seem to be the go to brand. Just thought i'd ask as i've seen some pretty old...

Hey guys, im after a good right angle die grinder. I'm either wanting the blue-point AT118 or Ingersoll-Rand 3101G. One of the guys at work reckons his blue-point one is awesome. Just wondering what you guys would be inclined to buy if you were buying this for yourself? ~Elias

Hey everyone, so i'm looking at buying my first 1/2" impact wrench. The Snap-On guy gave me a demo MG725, but 2 days in its defiantly not as good as i thought. And at $978 AUD or whatever the ridiculous price is, it really puts me off. I'll be mainly just doing wheelnuts with the gun. I'd like...

Sorry for late answer, been busy!!!! Thanks heaps for the answers everyone, think i'll go with the gear wrench set as its most easily available to me here in Australia.

Hi, I'm having a hard time chasing up a 1/4" drive socket set that comes with sockets and extensions only? I'm having a hard time finding one that doesn't come with a ratchet. Under $200 would be good.imperial and metric ~Elias
