I have ordered from them, they ship out of Milan. It's where I go for German tools I can't find on Amazon. Some German tools are dispatched from UK Amazon for the same price as Mister Worker but without shipping costs.

I have read through the amazon reviews and people say buy the Tekton in the sunex reviews and people say the Tekton hold up next to cat/snap on in the Tekton reviews.

Yeah, it's such a big help in figuring out which is the best tool to purchase. I have Astro thor impact gun and nano 3/8, use them every day and really helped me in buying an air hammer.

I have Astro straight and 90 degree die grinder and have been reading that some people seem to use die grinders with 3 inch cut off wheels on them due to space requirements. I want to get the flex head cut off tool for hard to reach places but it's a rare situation for me due to not in rust...

Yeah that's a good idea, or just cp717 because it's more powerful than thor but has trigger control? It probably is the most economical due to only buying one set of attachments. People used to say the downside of.498 is lack of attachments but astro are making different ones now.

Have you seen torque test channel recently did a thor vs cp717 and cp717 is more powerful than thor but has trigger control like. Cp714, I started thinking the cp717 would get the best of both worlds/all-rounder.

I'm in Australia this is the pricing situation because I have amazon account and access to everything in USA Amazon with free shipping. In Australian dollars.. ASTRO Thor: $400 CP717: $800 CP714: $550 IR132: $900 Snap on 3050: $1000 You are correct IR132 probably the same as snap on after...

Thanks for replying, what do you use the cp714 for? Excuse my ignorance but this will be my first air hammer and haven't worked with any mechanics who do use them.

Hello, Does anyone have any experience or opinions on which would be a better choice of gun? Do they both have good trigger control? Lots of talk about cp714 having good trigger control. I thought they would be a fair comparison because they are both 401 shank, the IR132 is more powerful on...

Yeah I'm a mechanic and never use AF, don't even own any. In this video the bloke reviews the Sidchrome and Maxim box and talks about the differences between, he likes the Maxim box but the Sidchrome is slightly thicker steal 0.2mm and ranks Sidchrome above the Maxim but you are Right for non...

I did some more research, Sidchrome uses dual slides on the long drawer of the 2 and 3 Bay roll cabs which is rated at 90kgs for the slides. The steal thickness is 1.2mm "where it counts" - Sidchrome rep. The Kinchrome blue steel 2 bay roll cab wieghs 60kgs and the equivalent Sidchrome is...

Yeah, problem with White is the that that long top drawer only has single slides not dual and the handles are like kitchen cupboard handles and can't be opened anywhere like most tool boxes.

Thank you for the detailed reply, I'm pretty sure Sidchrome and Kinchrome have the thickest gauge steal out of what is available, the sp ones drawers feel smoother to operate.

Recently I have returned from working overseas as a car mechanic, went to Sydney tools to buy a roll cab to start new job, would have purchased white international, sidchrome, sp, milwaukee but they came part of kits and wouldn't sell the roll cabs empty. I bought a Daytona 2 bay roll cab...

These are sold by Blue Point, US pro tools, Toptul etc, they are all the same and have PAT Ingraved on them, they are cheap and durable mainly used for drop links in rust belt or UK.
