I do a ton of work on large engines and we always go with low-lint or lint-free rags that you can get in the paint section of just about any hardware or big box store.

Pneumatic scraper. Has save me countless hours of gasket scraping.

I have not used either of the others, but I have used Milwaukee mag base drills quite a few times at work and they are excellent IMO. I would love to get one, just can't ever find the right deal.

Some of my green.

I have a buddy that will only remove races in this manner. I've seen him do it on dozens of different conical bearing races.

If SO made reversible wrenches larger than 3/4", then I would own them. Until such time as that changes, I am pretty happy with my GearWrench set that goes all the way to 2". Even though they are not reversible, they are pretty tough, I've had them doubled up for breaking loose exhaust and frame...

I have not had to use them very frequently, but when I needed one, there was no other way to accomplish the job than a crowsfoot. I prefer the flare nut style, but there have been a few times that I needed the open ended type. Other than SO the only other ones worth paying for IMO are Armstrong.

Great score! I am beyond jealous. I have about 1/3 to 1/2 of that stuff and it took me quite a while and a lot more than $500 for it. :beer:

exactly!

Does anyone here have Pressure vs. Torque charts for hydraulic torque wrenches? My boss is a fan of Sweeny/Hydratight stuff but the little plate that goes on the pressure gauge to show torque is always missing/broke when we get to a job site. I am trying to compile a list of different charts and...

Nice find! A buddy of mine has been looking for those things for a few years to no avail. I finally know what the heck he was talking about!

I use mine on a weekly if not daily basis, but I work on refinery and gas compression equipment (pretty large stuff). I also use 1" and 1 1/2" drive stuff pretty regularly as well.

I work on large engines, compressors, and power gen stuff and I personally prefer my SO 3/4 and 1" chrome sets. I have no complaints about the Wright, Williams or Proto sockets that I have used at some jobsites. Impact stuff I like the Grey Pneumatic brand for the cost, but once again I haven't...
