There are some pretty cool air hammer accessories out there. I use the chisels a lot. More control and works better in confined spaces where its hard to swing a hammer. Mayhew bolt breakers work pretty well to break free stubborn bolts.

Finally an air hammer?!? When is the dual battery .498 model coming out?

Its sort of between a hose and a real pressure washer. 800 PSI. Seems about right by testing it on my foot.

My Milwaukee drought continues... bought this Milfawkeee pressure washer off of Amazon to make myself feel better. $70. We'll see how it holds up. Supposedly uses a brushless motor. Pressure is nothing compared to my 120v AR610, but this has no cord to manage and is much easier to schlep...

my vote is for bare metal. Floor pumps (and bikes) get banged around. Its hard to keep paint pretty. Edit: liking the fire blanket in the background. I might need to copy that idea. Never know when you might catch yourself on fire!

Life is too short to be monogamous. Didn't you hear that everyone is doing open relationships these days?!?

Really liking my Astro Tools 3019B. Had an old school Milton for years, but really like the digital display on this and the ability to bleed air. Useful when seating tubeless tires. While it has a beefy aluminum body the lever is plastic which I doubt will hold up as well as the Milton which...

While this is smart, I am unfortunately dumb and just like the idea of more power and capability in theory. In reality my use pattern is really around 8-10mm vs the 16mm 1/4 socket I think I used once upon the time.

I too want to get the 1/4 as well. I am still getting hung up that they limited it to 100 ft lbs to probably save the anvil or sockets.

The image get botched on these? I thought I found compact stubbies.

In typical Garage Journal fashion I have to recommend you spend more money... the Euro style vacuums are the way to go if replacing a typical corded shop vac. Festool, Nilfisk, etc. Self cleaning filter (maybe not as much of an issue with a dust separator), higher quality vacuum bags, tool...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) I don't get the triangle thing either... maybe it prevents the tool from rolling away? I think I have been married so long I don't even care about the looks though.

looks like I found another spinner handle I might "need" . Knurled machined aluminum handle.

Oh man. You guys are really tempting me. How's the higher profile directional switch? Does it work with greasy thumbs? That has been my biggest knock since the original brushed. Am starting to lose track. Are we on Gen 4/5 now? Original/brushed ---> Fuel ----> Fuel High Speed ---> Insider...
