I have a 7" rigid a buddy gave me, had it repaired at HD for free and it kicks ***. tons of power and rotating handle for cutting. I use it professionally welding and cutting on heavy equipment and it handles everything flawlessly. If you can swing the money though id go with a 6" metabo quick...

I meant the set. I like the Mac screw driver because it’s not as bendy

I'd go with the mac set. I use them religiously and had snap on pocket screw drivers. They're actually made with a different metal so they don't bend like the snap on picket screw drivers or other pocket screw drivers. Love them, just with they came with a magnet.

Ebay purchase, have been fairly lucky up until now. The seller has offered a full refund and prepaid shipping. I did find some bso probes with 10x attenuation ill be trying. If I can't produce a wave form it goes back. mbfreak I did do a master reset, and it has a calibrate function to plug...

Wanted to grab an oscilloscope on the cheap and fear I may have gotten had. Got a killer deal on a fluke 97 scope meter. Seller stated everything worked, however upon testing, once delivered, I couldn't view a signal on channel a or b but the meter worked fine. Tried to do a probe calibration...

I wouldn't worry, put a fan in front of it and let it set overnight. I have dropped my 3/8 fuel into a 20 gallon catch can of hydraulic oil, i had to take it apart and i did use electrical contact cleaner to clean it. but i have had that gun for 5 years and it still wont die so i can upgrade to...

Highly recommend Antra if you want a damn good auto darkening hood, good viewing lens and grinding mode that doesn't break the bank. I use mine for welding, air arcing, and thermal lancing. and it has performed beautifully. Here is the one i have. I always keep a spare hood in the service...

Thanks man, you aren't kidding, i have no idea how to word that to isolate just the generator itself. i have several small engines I could easily build that with, but as it seems the ones that do come up, are like 350 bucks, which isn't terrible, but i still have to find a way to regulate it...

I love this idea man! what is the info on the generator. would be perfect for some mobile farm welding.

I have the ujoint style on all my air tools. Harbor freight has them for 4 dollars. when they start to leak replace the oring with a quality oring and they last forever. So far I have had all mine for 7 ish years. Beats the 35 dollar tool truck cost seeing as i have 8 die grinders at work alone...

Let me add in my experience between the 2 also, we had to rebuild some large baler cylinders, Milwaukee 1" wouldn't budge most of the gland bolts, my 3/4" earthquake ripped em off like nothing, granted my service truck has 170psi for air pressure. was pretty disappointed. Nice gun but cost wise...

Look on ebay man, I just bought a lightly used IR 285b 1" short anvil for 170 shipped. I know you are looking at matco 3/4" air but again I'd look used as matco is way overpriced. Or if you care the earthquake XT from harbor freight is a monster. I use them both for track bolts, shear blade...

for a good set you can get large coarse/fine kits from amazon. Been using these and harbor freight ones for years. as long as you drill the correct size hole and use some oil for cutting/cleaning you'll never break one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R3BQ6W/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Dude, let me tell ya, when my matco guy told me I could use my old gun with new batteries, but I would need a new charger/adapter that’s bulky af, I took that damn thing home. Again great gun, but for 200$ a pop I can justify not having a battery line maintained. The 3/8 looks awesome. But in my...

Bought my matco 2 years ago with 2 batteries, 799. Fucker hits hard and was a damn good gun but with all my milwaukee purchases since then I put it at home and got a milwaukee. beats it hands down. 1300ft/lbs was damn competitive with the milwaukee, However the downside is those 2 200 dollar...
