I purchased the 1150 and the care instructions specifically state not to use torque sticks. Can anyone say why? In any case, I only see three real differences between the two models. 1)The material of the housing 2)Lubrication: -1150 uses air tool oil -1200 uses 5-30 motor...

I personally don't care about MY tire pressures being exact. I'm of the opinion that if your gauge reads +/- 2 psi of what the desired pressure is, that you're freakin' fine and that there's no reason to be so damn finicky about the subject. BUT. When vehicles have a dash display that identifies...

Okay we know what we use it for. Now... I work in a shop. And am on the market for an air hammer. I don't need a top of the line air hammer because I won't use it several times a day or even every day, but I need one of solid quality that I can rely on (so long as I keep it oiled). And I have...

With our friend, the TPM system, an accurate digital read out of PSI in our tires is kind of a pain in the *** to go without. What are your favorite digital gauges, based on functionality and longevity?

Re: Super-Exciting News for SK Day!! If SK wants this thing to be super successful, I would suggest that they hold their horses for tax return season. The closer the holidays get, the more people reel in the spending. People like me. I'm young and with a family. So if SK wants to get me hooked...

I COULD use the pre-OBD II adaptors, but my needs are basic, and my goal narrow. So I won't be going down that road.

My question to those who are currently using an cordless ratchet: If you did have to choose between your air powered ratchet and your battery powered ratchet, which would you choose?

I just came across this : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007LEG2K/?tag=atomicindus08-20 ACTRON POCKET CODE READER thus far its the most promising candidate. I love the idea of a blue tooth device, but I'm still working with a $20 flip phone. Have a tablet, but it too is an inexpensive device...

I've been using the 12v ACdelco 3/8 cordless ratchet for a couple months now with fantastic results. It's wonderful. I even kiss it sometimes. Full on mwah! It's rated at 53ft/lbs. Battery life is excellent and charges quickly. Got it on Amazon. I was inspired by my lead tech to purchase one...

Thanks Dave! I did purchase a set of 1/2 so ckets. I feel good about em so far. Haven't gotten to put them to the test yet, but they seem to fit fasteners nice and snug.

Here's the deal. I work in a shop and am often asked to read engine codes. The shop has a scan tool, but it then takes 5 minutes to track it down and enter the vehicle data. And then go through the steps to read DTC's. The whole thing is a bit of a project for such a simple task that nine out of...

My only apprehension about Tekton is the mail-in warranty. Sent from my LIFETAB_E7312 using Tapatalk

Thanks to everybody for their input. As far as education goes: I'm fortunate enough to work for a company that pays my way into classes (I'm taking an A/C class next week)! Also they're footing the bill for my MACS cert as well ASE testing. I know. I'm lucky. Also I have to say that I...

I'm still trying to think up a practical application for a 15mm 1/4" drive socket. Someone please satisfy my curiosity. Why the hell wouldn't you just grab your 3/8" ratchet and put some actual leverage on that fastener? Otherwise it seems to me you're making the task more difficult than it...
