how about an air gun or cordless impact(thatas what i use)? I rebuild transmissions almost everyday and you'll get tired of anything but a power tool I use my 3/8 impact for tear down, and the cordless impact set on low torque for assembly, and then all bolts get torqued. I haven't picked up a...

I have one and love it! I researched helmets alot before buying,at first i was going to go with the miller autodark, but after reading many reviews that said it would only last a year or two i bought the optrel I weld almost everyday so its works great, i'm not sure how it would work if you...

Why do you put your oil filter on so dam tight? You shouldn't need a wrench to take it off if you change your oil all the time They are only for taking off filters that the idiots at walmart/jiffy lube/dealerships/everywhere put on as tight as humanly possible

I stop at my snapon guys's house. I paid $2500 for mine.(well i am paying for the next 2 years $20 a week) He has lots of used boxes because everybody wants to trade in a year or two old box on a new or bigger one. And he also has lots of repo's I am also looking at getting the stainless...
