    Any new 3/8 M12 FUEL Ratchet owners??

    I feel like most of the complaints are from non mechanics.. If you can fit your impact use it, if not use the ratchet and when it maxes out torque give it a pull by hand and your done. I'm still waiting on mine but just from the YouTube reviews and comparing it side-by-side to the old one it...

    Just in case anyone is waiting on a 1/2". I got this email from acme " We have recently received word from MILWAUKEE that the item 2558-20 will ship in approximately late October to early November." Thinking about switching my order to the 3/8" but I do mostly suspension work so the extra...

    XL Flex head double box ratchets. What y'all got?

    I'll look into those. Do you put as much tq on the wrench as if it were a non ratchet wrench.. I'm not gonna smack it with a sledge or anything but with the length on the 19mm one it seems easy to put atleast 100ftlbs with them. Hold up pretty well?

    Ratchet torque

    At this point take it of the car and drop it off at a machine shop. Worst comes to worst they cut it out and weld a new bung in.

    Ratchet torque

    Haha, you prolly shouldn't touch a tool again. Just bustin your balls, what you need to do is heat up the pipe itself around the bolt, not the bolt. You can try a vise grip after that or they sell a socket that you can hammer on and it's acts like a claw when you loosen it. Good luck

    Snap on 1/4 cordless ratchet is great

    I like how the snap on gives a spec for manual torque. 3/8" calls for 158ftlb. Very impressive, that's most of the reason I went with the 1/2" anvil for the milwaukee fuel. I'm hoping it will take atleast 100.

    Any experience with Mechanics Time Saver Lock a socket?

    With coupons I can get this rail for about $25. Im trying to be as efficient as possible with my cart and this in theory seems like a great idea. If they are junk let me know. Can you place the sockets on the rail without having to twist/lock them? I feel like that would get old.. thanks for...
