I think you were asking too much out of that little thing. When I was working as a plumber, drilling out studs for pipe 5/8", 3/4" and 1", I was using a corded Milwaukee hole hawg with self feed bits. I wouldnt even trust a standard size 1/2" corded drill to drill thru studs more than a few holes.

Oh and do not forget the other country, also known as, Assembled in the U.S.A.

Thank you. I used the code.

Yes but even an L1 will cut threads which can mess up your existing threads. be real careful especially if chasing in aluminum. If chasers are not available, you can make them by grinding two flutes into a bolt of the corrrect thread pitch.

Its almost triple the price of the ICON light sale price, but I could not be happier with the astro light. I have had it in use for 4 years.

But not only did lowes axe Makita...... Menards did long before and Ace Hardware also did when they brought the Craftsman stuff in. Heck even some of my local lumberyards no longer carry makita.

True. I just bought the Makita xwt17z from Berland's a few days ago. Home depot only stocks the hi-torque. I dont like waiting for special order tools.

Most oil pan drain bolts have a torque value of under 20ft lbs. EVERY battery and pneumatic impact wrench is overkill for oil drain pan bolts. I think the OP was more concerned about tire changes.

Craftsman Handi-Cut tool rocks. All models.

Bingo

I disagree. SK was the house brand of Ace Hardware, Many independent auto parts stores and specialty tool stores throughout the 80's and 90's.

Why would the manufacturer warranty purchases from ebay and Amazon third party when they don't even know if the stuff is genuine? Many warranty claims require you take a pic of damaged product and send it to them but they can not necessarily tell if genuine.

Klein is really pushing retail apparently. My local plumbing supply house now has a whole Klein display.

I am still rocking 2 of the batteries from 2005. Obviously they dont perform like new, but when the batteries went to the star they got much worse.

This is not true of all flaring tools however. My ridgid flaring kit (designed for the plumbing industry) can cut single 45 degree flares for plumbing applications but also has the dies right in the case to do 45 degree "double flares". It cannot do 37 degree single flares (AN) or 37 double...
