Just bought the 3/8 shallow for $20 and the 3/8 deep sockets for $30 with the 25% off coupon and a $5 speed perks plus another 5% off with rakuten for a total of like $32 for both shipped. You can't beat that.

You probably have your mind set on the 72", but you could buy two of 44" boxes for cheaper than one 72". Just push the two together and you have 88" of tool space across instead of 72" and it's less expensive. Just throwing that out there.

I use my impact driver for stuff like that. Has plenty of pop to get stuff like that off without having to do it by hand with a ratchet.

Crazy you couldn't get an axle nut off with a dewalt high torque though. You sure that tool is working correctly and you had it at the highest settings? That should be more than enough to easily pull off even a really rusted axle nut. I've pulled off rusty jeep axle nut with cheap ryobi...

If you're getting a m12 3/8, i'd skip the mid torque and just go with the big dog. You'll be using the m12 and the m18 midtorque for similar things, but you're out of luck when you've got something really rusted or need to remove something like a crank bolt. For cars, the m12 is fine at 250...

You might want to consider the 1/2" mid torque. If i were to only get one tool, that would be the one i get. It's the perfect middle ground tool. 600 ft/lb of torque and not too big and bulky. That home depot link i posted for $200 for the kit and buy an extra 5 amp battery when they go on...

I went with the 1/2 stubby because all my impact sockets are 1/2. Same with my universal sockets - all 1/2. The 1/2 and 3/8 have the same power specs, but i preferred not having to buy all new impact sockets for a 3/8 stubby impact, so i just got the 1/2. It's got 250 ft/lb of torque, so it's...

Here are some nice milwaukee options at home depot. High torque, but you'll need to buy a charger. You can get them on ebay for like $25...

16 piece metric ratcheting set for $60. This is a steal. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002NYD1W/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I'm hearing there's a big red tag sale coming up soon. Truth is, just go on hfqpdb.com and get whatever coupons you need. If it's on sale, that website has it. Don't expect anything special from a store opening.

They always have a sale going on. The best ones are the 20-25% off with free shipping on all orders.

Didn't work

Supposedly the walmart supertech synthetic is the same stuff as the amazon basics synthetic, but costs about $5 less. Both are made by Warren. Just google it.... a lot of info out there. The synthetic supertech runs for about $16 per 5 qts.

I tried in my app and it's not working there either. Looks like it applies to some and not to others. Weird.

I keep trying on something that's $8.95 and i get a "Looks like that's the wrong code. Please double-check and try again" message. I even tried adding more to the cart and still nothing. Won't let me use it.
