LOL at the picnic table comment. I wish I could say I disagree but I feel like the thing should be $1200 max. It's exactly what I was looking for though, and there isn't anything else quite like it, so I felt like I had no other choice. My current corded drill is pretty weak so I just picked up...

Yeah I'm starting to think I'm not going to be able to have my cake and eat it too. Oh well

I actually already have a Milwaukee impact (the first generation Fuel model. Not sure what revisions have been made since then) and figured that it would be ill suited for this application. Rlitman: the EZcarlift owner/designer told me that the high torque is needed just for the first few...

Also I probably should have mentioned my car is pretty light (about 2,200 lbs). Hopefully that means I can get away with less torque.

Reports vary from 90 to 150 seconds.

Thanks for the quick replies. Dingleburry, I assume you're referring to this drill? Rlitman, do you suspect that the hilti will suffer from the same continuous torque usage problems as the Milwaukee 2704? The Hole Hawg looks like it could've been perfect, but the max rpm is 1,200. Not bad, but...

I'll admit I know very little about drills, so please bare with me. I just purchased an EZcarlift (http://ezcarlift.com/) for which an 8 amp, 1,000 rpm corded drill is recommended to lift a car in the air in a reasonable amount of time. I do a lot of mobile work and am looking for an...

What manufacturer does not use mechanical crimps? I've worked with wiring from a handful of cars and I've never seen an OEM splice that was not crimped. I did not know that, thanks for the heads up. Any recommendations for open-barrel splices that can be crimped with a hand crimper? Well as of...

Hey folks, I have a large wiring project for my car and need your help choosing splices and terminals. I need something that is: Compact Non-insulated Easy to use Affordable in large quantities For these reasons I'm leaning towards open barrel splices rather than **** splices (good...

Also, forgot to ask all of your input on open barrel splice connectors such as these: How do they stack up to closed barrel **** splices? Especially in automotive use?

Thanks for the replies, guys, they're helpful. Especially the mate-n-lok suggestion. I've seen those connectors before but never knew what they were called. I anticipate needing (or greatly benefiting from) a ratcheting crimper in the future, it's not just for my friend's O2 sensor. I sometimes...

Hey everyone, my name is Will. I've been a member for a while and a lurker for even longer but this is my first post. Hope you can help me out. Crimpers: A friend of mine damaged the connectors for the aftermarket oxygen sensor on his car. He bought a replacement connector that looks like this...
