Do you think it a tool you you can go cheap on or not? There's a few on amazon for ~60 with good reviews. I was planning on spending the money on a uview but it breaking just from being dropped has me wondering if I should just grab the FJC or something and save some money.

Have you tried any others brands?

Looking at getting a vaccuum cooling system filler. I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two (though I'm open to other suggestions). Just wondering if anyone has experience with these two and if the original is worth the extra $50. I'm mainly concerned about durability of the composite one.

For a 3/8" air ratchet I went with the aircat. It's got plenty of power, seems to be built well, is quiet, and cheap. You can buy 3 aircats for the price of one snap on after your 50% discount. 3/8" Impact I went IR timax, also happy with it. For die grinders, my chicago pneumatics have served...

what is the differerence between those "thread restorer" kits, a taper tap, and a rethreading tap/die? But yeah I was really looking at just picking up a real nice tap/die in 6mm as that is 99% of what I use then for... I have all the other sizes and rarely use them but have already worn out...

Can anyone recommend a good manufacturer and vendor for individual taps and dies preferably HSS? They'll mainly be used for cleaning threads. I have a china set and am just looking to replace my m6 and maybe a couple others depending on price. I'm also looking for a good T-handle tap driver...

yup, I have the 1/4" and couldn't live without it. Probably use it more than my impact. Been using it daily for 2 years and it just won't die. Is the 3/8" worth having on top of the 1/4" or not? I'd imagine it is probably underpowered for a 3/8.

Can you not order from a US site? I'd imagine it'd still be a lot cheaper even after shipping.

I've been using HF grinding disk holders and mandrels. Use them every day and they've outlasted all my HF grinders. My SGS carbide burr has held up well and wasn't too expensive... def. get a burr. Edit: actually I may have bent a mandrel. Either that or the grinder, not sure.

I've been looking for a similar set of GP and sunex. There's this... sunex has a $25 rebate going on it now http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LQEVI0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 If you need bigger sizes and no skipped uncomon sizes there are thesehttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MW2CGO/?tag=atomicindus08-20...

what's the point vs a flex head ratchet? clearance?

also get some decent sandpaper. You get what you pay for.

I'd go for the H&S stud welder if you have the money. As far as hammers/dollies... I'm not that familiar with ram tailgates but chanced are you won't be able to get behind the panel very good. You'd probably be fine with just a stud welder and a pick hammer to knock down any high spots. I'd...

those are hex to 1/4" adaptersthe locking 1/4" sk extensions go for $100+ Not sure where you are seeing the gp's for 30, I haven't seen them under 60. I'd jump on them for 30 bucks. What did you not like about the armstrong extensions?

Anyone have either of them? I've been wanting a 1/4" set of both for a while now. The GP locking impact extensions are about half the price of armstrong/proto/sk and the sunex impact swivels don't seem to have much competition in the price range (1/4" atleast). I don't mind paying for quality...
