    Jump box math

    Like another poster mentioned two(12v) or 4 (24v) group 31s to make a HD jump pack on a dolly will last forever. The red plastic jump boxes are good too, just replace the battery as needed, it's about $100 for a new one. NoCo are overrated for heavy duty use. They also don't jump anything...

    Beginner perspective on buying ratchets and sockets

    So are they the most economic choice as some are arguing or a premium price as you're saying? Where's the sense in that?

    Beginner perspective on buying ratchets and sockets

    Haha what? Go into your CAT dealer and ask them to show you the map of the dealerships. Wagner has exclusive dealer rights in most of the rockies and Mongolia, Foley has Kansas and Western Missouri, Warren is Oklahoma and some of Texas.Hell all of Canada is under one dealership. Yes as you go...

    What’s the use case for the new tekton 1/2” drive large impacts up to 50mm?

    That's not how impacts work. They don't produce continuous torque like a drill.

    This is exactly why these kind of sockets are handy, if you do the job regularly enough to justify it. I made my own by welding a piece of 3/4x3/4 square tubing but I better have drilled the ball detent in the right spot.

    Beginner perspective on buying ratchets and sockets

    Based on? Yes they have similar stampings but these nothing that says it goes through the same process. If you're saying that Snap On is better than Proto then I'm not going to argue because that's entirely subjective and you have too much feeling ******* in it.

    Through CAT corporate yes. If you don't want to be cooling your heels for however long that takes then you better have your receipt of the purchase or you're not getting it warrantied. Or again I can have a new tool in less than a week.

    Beginner perspective on buying ratchets and sockets

    There is a, as in singular, CAT dealer for Kansas and western Missouri. Ordering parts from another state makes no sense compared to ordering Proto that's the essentially the same priceonce shipping is figured. Unless you're saying CAT sockets are better than Proto? In my experience Proto is...

    Beginner perspective on buying ratchets and sockets

    @CoThG @T45 I'm going to disagree on the CAT sockets. Prices are regional, the local dealer here wants almost $100+ per set and almost never has sales. Plus the warranty is only 90 days which usually doesn't matter but these sockets are not Snap On quality. Lots of my coworkers had them in their...
