    So I've been looking Around for a 3/4 impact and am not all that impressed with the ft/lbs of torque found considering what the 2235/mg725 etc 1/2 impacts are producing these days. Am I missing something?

    I have a pair of 47cf pliers and am wanting to get a pliers holster for it. But the ones I've seen in stores locally won't work as they are to narrow. Does anyone have a holster they recommend? I'd prefer one with a snap to secure them.

    Extreme tool box at hd

    So I was at my local hd Friday and noticed they have an extreme box, i fondled it for 10 or so minutes and am pretty impressed. The fit and finish seemed good, the drawers were tight, and the 30in depth was INSANE. For 3500 out the door I think it would be a pretty fair deal
