I have used it here and there for the last few days..On a rusty exhaust clamp nut I broke it manually and it was at the limit of torque so it got a turn or two than I jiggled it another turn or two..while it stopped turning it sounded like it hit a clutch mechanism or somerhing..dont remember...

Thanks for the tips

Ya now that I think of it the cleaner cut the better, so if my buddy has a wood chop saw I can buy a big cutting disk and toss it on there?

I want to cut it up for random jobs on the press or to beat someone over the head with

I don't have cutting disks at work for my grinder to try. Is it even going to work or am I better off dropping it off at the machine shop and hoping they don't get me too bad? Thinking making 3 or 4 cuts..what you think?

Yup, and after watching a YouTube review it supposedly is rated at 175 ft/lbs of manual tq. Gives me confidence on caliper bracket bolts ect..

The screws on my 1/4" metric swivel set were tiny..cant remember the size. People said to put anti seize on them but the first one I pulled already had it so I didn't bother..

I gave up on the 1/2" fuel ratchet, acmetool kept on pushing back the date to 2018.. went with the 3/8" model for $135 shipped. Its larger and heavier than the old model for sure. A tradeoff for being stronger, both manual and motoring a fastener. This is a cheap old torque wrench I had laying...

I would get that Husky for 200 along with the HF black cart for 99.. Boxes feel "cheap" when they are not loaded with tools..

16 Cherokee seat removal. Why do they do this ****..

I ordered the fuel 1/2" ratchet a month and a half ago from acme..kept on getting pushed back, now till Dec 31.. I said screw it and had them ship me the 3/8" fuel. 135 shipped seems pretty fair..

May be a stupid question but why can't tool manufacturers make an adapter from a 18v battery to a jumper connection? Borrowed a coworkers today, worked fine. https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/MINIJUMP2/12000-MAH-JUMPSTARTER-CHARGER/

wow that rigid is a steal

If all you really need is a impact wrench and you have no other tools currently with compatible batteries I feel like the cheapest would be the Kobalt.. I have experience with these brands Milwaukee M12 impact driver Bosch 3/8" impact 12v Dewalt 20V dcf880 1/2" dcf899 1/2" 20v Makita xwt02Z...

Finally got some flexheads in my life. Old vs new. Picked up the set off Amazon for $95, cant beat it even if they end up as a home set.

Yep, I went with the EZRED kit as it was similar in price and included the t60. I had a gearwrench 4 piece 120xp flex head ratchet kit in my cart from weeks ago..of course Amazon reminded me that it went from $115 to 95. Got that than looked what else I had lingering in my cart..astro 1/4"...

I just found it, it was from a recent post in New tool arrivals. It is gearwrench but is missing the t60.. https://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-81560-Metric-Ratcheting-Wrench/dp/B01NCF6PFS

I have one of those which is great but those are for smaller torx bits..

Ya that EZRED fits the bill. something that will hold up to decent torque. Like T30-60.. Seatbelts ect.. The specific one I remember had 1/4" 3/8" and iirc 1/2" drive but also were like the EZRED's in that you could put a wrench over them..

I can't remember where I saw it, but someone makes a set where you can put for example a 10mm 14mm 17mm wrench on the one end to turn the fastener in low clearance spots. I need them on a weekly basis.. Thanks Hopefully this makes sense to y'all :lol_hitti
