i researched 1/2 guns exclusively recently... i am buying the IR-timax2135 next week.....a chicago pneumatic was a close 2nd.

Sometimes a bolt will piss you off enough to get the bigger ratchet.....in which u usually bust it off out of spite and create more work for yourself ..... some fasteners are a real b***h ><

I pretty much just chase whistles for machinery that is broken or needs to be troubleshooted 5/6 days of my working week.

Hello, im pretty new to this forum and am pretty curious what u rag tag old timers do and prefer so ill start. Im a Apprintice Millwright in planer mill, I prefer Proto tools because i get a nice grainger discount on them(plus usa made), and they have stood up so far. My favorite tool in my box...

you the same old dood scooping out grease with a spoon?

Using the search bar is much easier. Long metric hex socket set or 1/2 impact socket set for example.

Starrett and Mitutoyo seem highly reguarded in precision measurement.

Judging by your avatar and quote you have a soft spot for Armstrong. Therefore it would make sense to spend a extra buck or 2 on the Armstrong wrenches, they will hold up like any of the other brands u mentioned and you probably won't regret it.

i use a 15 piece fully polished ASD proto wrench set and i love them. Id say the most important thing is your application. Proto ASD wrenches are slightly longer and thicker for more torque(industrial use), while something like snap on is thinner and shorter for "tight automotive" spaces.

I live 3 hours from the NWT border where it is hard to get high quality tools. Easiest to get local tools would be from Grainger Proto. Cheaper easier lines include westward, jet, pro core, mastercraft. I Rarly see a Mac and Snap On truck...but they do rarely drop into our local automotive...

From my research i was stuck between Grey Pneumatic and Proto. The Proto's are x2 the price however.

Has this discussion ever been proven?? I am just curious TBH. I seen a few days ago "ratchet tests" have been preformed, does anyone have any info on this ? Or does anyone know if the higher drive rachets (like 3/4' 1')use more so or less teeth.

My industrial company gets a good discount through grainger for proto(usa)+westward(china ><) mainly. Proto seems really nice and they are us made. Most of their stuff is the same as mac(or so they look like...you guys would know more than me) just a lil cheaper price :)

hypothetically wouldn't less teeth have more "meat" thus being more reinforced + stronger?

Our's broke out at work. A employee was welding and threw the hot steel in the sink too cool off and broke out the bottom. He just siliconed it back up with high temp silicone and it hasn't leaked since, which is about 1.5 years later.

Sk Automotive- Because i wouldn't mind using that $50 for home use. Plus i bought cheap brands for my starter kit and and upgrading the tools i use "very often" like my 1/2 impact set.

Hello, im looking to upgrade from my mastercraft sockets. Mainly because my mastercraft set ends at 7/8" and i need up to 1 1/4", so its a good time to upgrade.......any suggestions?

I use my adjustables daily have never broke a Proto clickstop or Crescent adjustable. They get lost or stolen about once a year ><
