    good 1/2 impact for under 200?

    I have an IR231XP I found at the pawn shop for $40 slightly used. Use it mostly for taking wheels off and when I have to work outside. My main gun is and old MAC AW5500 that's about 5 or 6 years old. It's back up is a newer Matco Mt1769a. All of these guns can be picked up for less than $200...

    Maintaining impact gun

    Wish we had dryers at our shop. Sometimes our air lines shoot water right out of our tools. Our tools are the moisture trap.

    KD/Gearwrench TQ wrenches - Anybody got feedback on them?

    I have seen both up close and used both. They both look and feel identical to me. I don't own one, but will be getting one of the 3/8 variety when my old craftsman becomes unreliable. My Snap On 1/2 tech angle takes the brunt of the load anymore with all the torque to yield fasteners and head...

    How do you organize small hardware (nuts & bolts etc...) ?

    I wouldn't call it organized, but I throw any loose nuts or bolts into a 5 gallon bucket beside my tool box. The second one is almost full.

    Here is my new box and tool cart. I bought the box new and the cart used. Pictures aren't the best, I used my camera phone.

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I agree with the fit and finish of it. I got mine for $99 + 20% coupon. I will disagree on its durability though. I have been using and abusing mine for the last 10 months or so in a shop environment. Knock on wood. It's loaded to the gills too. Timmy

    Toobox Question?

    I have the HF combo. What it lacks in looks and depth it makes up for in price. I picked up the top and bottom separately and uses coupons on them both. Got it for just under $600. The slides are smooth even when overloaded with tools. Been using mine in a shop environment since 12/08 and have...

    HELP!! Wrenches, ratches, and sockets...oh my...

    I've been using Gearwrench ratchets daily for the past few months. I haven't had a problem out of them yet and don't plan to either. The Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches are a blessing. They work in the tightest of spaces. I keep Mac, Matco, Gearwrench, SK, Snap On, and Craftsman pro in my box...

It's NIB and opened up only to check if it was damaged and for pictures. I'm asking $180 shipped in CONUS. I accept Paypal and Postal money orders...
