I have 1/4 , 3/8, 1/2 Full sets metric and sae Short, deep, and short swivels I have tested them. I have stopped using my chrome sockets and use my impact sockets to save cart space. I have tested them and they don't let me down. I love grey pneumatic

I can't be any happier with grey pneumatic. Mine are close to 10 years old, pro use. The etching wears, but is still readable on all sockets. Even the 21 mm. Thats my most used socket. Up until a couple days ago until I lost it. I have broke a couple swivels, and torx and hex bits. Never a...

I think sk makes decent stuff, but I don't like the round head ratchet's. They can be found cheap enough used, I bought one........but gave it away after using it for awhile. It worked, but to me there is better ones these days. The other mechanic uses sk wrenches for alignments.......I think...

You will be happy with the krsc 46, mine is about 5 years old. Loaded to the hilt. Heavy as heck. Pro use, runs like the day I got it. I roll it around all day. I open the drawers all day. My strictly tool boxes combo is showing some real wear. It's about 6 years old. I don't load that one as...

I have some old 36 tooth snap ons and some dual 80s. I go through a set of gears on my 80s about once a year. The old ones come out when the going gets tough. They are near indestructible. I have lost teeth on the old ones and they generally keep going. My snap on guy says not to bounce on the...

I am hoping to get a new big box one day. I had a classic 96. It was my first lock and roll box. I loved it! I had to sell it. I have replaced it with a strictly toolboxes combo, and a krsc 46. The 46 has lock and roll, and I love it still. If I get a new big box it will be a krl. I do like the...

This. I have used both. I own the snap on. While the snap on is by far better.......I could have bought an astro pneumatic kit with a master add on set, and saved hundreds. I will never sell the bjp1.........but I consider it more of a luxury item, the price difference is too much to justify...

Get whatever fits your hand better, but a 3/8 gun will struggle with lug nuts that have been on awhile. No rust......no problem. If they have been on awhile it won't always get em off. All the choices given are nice guns.

I have 2 of those inside the lid of my service cart. They hold sockets, and nuts ant bolts out of the pile of tools that end up in the top of my cart. I used command strips. The ones for hanging hooks and pictures. It has been almost a year of daily putting on and taking off sockets. I like that...

I would have welded it one piece, but if I would ever want to take it off............that would scratch the sides bad since it fits tight. The back attaches to the sides with a single 1/4 bolt on each corner. It is rock solid. I found some angle iron in the scrap bucket, fabbed it up, welded 1/4...

The rack replaced my air tool drawer. I also hung some other stuff off of it. I used the holes and replaced the handle with this rack made of angle iron. That now serves as the handle. I can still get through all doors in the shop. I oil all tools after each job and they go on the rack. Now I...

I made an air tool rack for mine.

I used bars and balance beads on my vrod, but I work at a tire shop so I know how to use a bar. I used the bars to break the bead of the tires. I have worked in the tire business for 20 years, and can change any tire with 2 bars and a bead breaking hammer. For the most part.....

I had to buy one a few years ago, while I think the Hondas are the best of the newer machines, I was not able to pay that much so I had to compromise. I went with a JD 928 e. It has a 14 inch impeller and most of that size have a 12. (In the consumer grade lines) my JD is the same as a...

I know a guy around here that has many nice older ones he has repaired. He doesn't advertise on bisman.
