twisted the hex part of a 3/8 drive stanley hex socket, size 1/4 broke the hex part of a 3/8 drive HF hex socket, size 1/4 (used the new 1/2 drive matco cordless impact on it) HF impact step down from 3/4 to 1/2 twice. (once while using 1 inch impact, second with 3/4) HF 3/8 drive impact swivel...

oo well i guess i take that back then lol. usually the tool trucks that come by the shop only have irwin vice-grip ones from what i can tell just glancing around. i'd like to find out who, if anyone, still makes american made vice grips

These are some of my grandfather's I found 2 years ago. I had to hunt for them all but I think I got them. I sprayed them all down with amsoil's heavy duty mp protector once 2 years ago and they haven't rusted any more since. I put them in an old tool box of mine that I got from walmart years...

My 3/8 air ratchet, 1/4 air ratchet, 3/8 impact, and 1/2 impact are all the old style HF earthquakes. I've had them all for 2 years now and haven't had any problems out of them. The only thing I don't like about my 1/2 gun is that it's heavy! Get under a KW or a freightliner and it'll really...

i agree. i went there and checked out both black the and red ones and i could make the make the metal flex way too much for my taste, and i was just using one hand. i've seen the slimmer version of the krsc46 on the snapon truck that comes by and it feels really solid compared to hf service...

i saw your avatar and thought i recognized an elite :D . JMorrison4371: you can go into a diesel field and not have any diesel experience. there's a guy on our shift that worked for mercedes for 8 years & more for honda and there's a kid on another shift that worked for honda, both of them not...

i've got the 3/8 on order from my matco guy. as soon as i get a chance to use it some, i'll let you guys know how it does. all i've ever heard about cordless impacts is snapon snapon snapon, which must mean something seeing how a lot of people preach it. but idk, i've looked up the specs for...

maan, i cant wait to get back home now that i've seen this thread. my grandfather had a pretty decent amount of blackhawk tools. i'll take some pics of them and post them here

i'd keep it, its not like there's a lot of those around. old tools always catch people's eyes for some reason. they're different looking and cool at the same time and we all know, "they don't make 'em like they used to."

cant remember if i posted mine here or not so i'll just post it again lol

Here's the rest of what I have. I have the same kind of pictures for harborfreight sockets and gp 12 point 3/8 drive impact sockets and my 1/2 drive snap-on impact swivel if anyone wants to compare the amount of wear. Hope you guys like them and they help you out :thumbup:

These are pictures I've taken for everyone to see the wear on the duo sockets when used with impacts, save one. The impact I've used them on is my 1/2 earthquake from harborfreight. I know, not IR or Snap-on but it puts out enough torque to take off lugs on a big truck at work, and they're all...

well if you feel that way about noodle-made then don't buy craftsman, torin, waterloo, stack on, montazuma, or any other weird name as far as tool boxes are concerned. most, if not all of them are made at the same plant over there. for simple recognition, just look at them all side-by-side. i...

Sry for the late reply, I havent really had a whole lot of time to get back on here lol. Alright now, UPDATE: I've been using them off and on and have found that they work just as well as any other chrome socket. The only catch to them is that they're not like craftsman or snapon where you can...

well, im putting this up because i have seen a lot of people in the past ask about these sockets but mostly people have been kind of hesitant to try them out (at least that's what i saw anyways). i was really curious about them too so i broke down and bought the 1/2 drive deep and shallow 6pt...
