Makita should have the new impact wrenches out in the states soon. My favorite Makita cordless would probably be the ML800 headlamp, it is great for camping or when it gets dark while fishing/hunting. Some things that would be interesting might be a cordless finish nailer, coil roofing nailer...

Just got my Tone compact ratchets and boy they are tiny. 1/2 with a 22mm Tone hex and the 3/8 with a 19mm Zeal.

Just ordered the TONE compact ratchets in all 3 sizes (RH2CHS, RH3CH, RH4CH) off Rakuten. Can't wait to give them a try.

I use Simple Green Crystal for my mixture. It is made without that scent and washes off much easier than the regular SG. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ULLGRU?keywords=simple%20green%20crystal&qid=1447321284&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

Get a used M2 flamethrower from the auctions and just melt the snow. You can use it all year around for other things too. Seriously though, those shovels do look like they will break after a few uses or get rusted over the summer.

Well it isn't published in the US so if you never heard of KTC, Stahwille, Hazet, Bahco is quite normal. I am pretty sure they wouldn't want to touch any of our Craftsman made in China tools.

Yeah i have the current one and can't wait to get the dtw1002 with the new 6a battery.

I use nothing but Norseman myself because of the quality and they are a local company just 20 minutes away.

At first reading i though it said you haven't use tools in 28 years :lol2:

Open cap, pull the tip up to open... aint rocket science so i didn't mention it. I also never said 290 was better in break-away, but it holds better because it has the 250 in/lb prevail vs 43 in/lb from 242. Try removing a nut from a 4" bolt with a wrench, you will take much longer with the 290.

I am pretty sure i know how to use loctite since i have gone through a few bottles. As for 290 strength, yes it is weaker on paper, but 290 gives you a 100% seal from one end to the other. Another thing i notice is that 290 feels a bit gummy after you break it loose and there is still good...

A small set of metric and sae wrenches alone is already over $200... For the budget you want, maybe used tools on eBay or the classified will do.

I have a set of both and the Metric gets used more often. Also, you do know that the Tekton crows don''t have the locking dimple right?

I finally got around to picking up a set of SAE and Metric flare crow foot. The fit and finish is pretty damn nice.

I doubt they would let me empty the bottles in store and checking the weight on a gram scale might be the best bet. It isn't opaque enough to see through even with a flashlight. Maybe i should just go and exchange it with a bottle that feels heavier since i haven't use it yet. On a side note, i...
