Anyone got one yet? What do you think? Anyone else notice it has the exact same power levels as the mg725. Exact same. Driver keeps pushing one on me but I have a 2235ti and know it's more powerful Doesn't help either that my mg325 has no power at all after only 6 months. Is that common?? I've...

I know this isn't the right place to post this but I know there's a lot of technicians on this forum, who should not make the grave mistake i did. I had the task of draining and filling a 2003 Volvo 2.4 liter s60 transmission today. Going to fill it through the dipstick I noticed there was no...

At work I somewhat regularly have to drill out bolts that are rounded off, usually on a very rusty car. I seem to have no idea what I'm doing, I have 3 snap on sets that (one for quick change, one that came with my extractor set, and a huge set of hss bits). Only the hss bits seem to work...

I have a set of Cornwell torx bits, I'm constantly breaking them. The other day I twisted the t10 running a bolt down with my hands!!! I'm getting sick of breaking them and since I don't have a regular dealer anymore it's a pain chasing him down on my day off. I'm a pro mechanic and I know...

With Armstrong shutting down, is matco going to keep the 88tooth Armstrong ratchet? not that you can even get a matco ratchet now a days

I already have a 2335timax, I'm a 21 year old pro mechanic. All the noises at work are making me start to lose my hearing. Nothing wrong with my 2335, would it be worth springing up the case and buying the qti? Or should I just wait till it breaks. I've started using earplugs with my air...

for all the people who have stubby wrenches, is it worth getting a brand from the tool truck? They're about 300 bucks. I don't need them often, but in certain situations they certainly would make my life easier. I was just gonna go with sunex, cus they're good tools at a great value. I don't...

I use my 2235timax daily at work, doing auto repair. I use my 2235ti and my Milwaukee fuel about 50/50. Lately my 2235timax goes through spurts of losing power. Today it couldn't even tighten lug nuts to 100 ft lbs (with a torque stick), then was fine the next with that same torque stick, then...

A couple months ago I bought a Matco set of line wrenches, and I think they are pretty much junk. A lot of the time when I am working on something like a rusty line, or bleeder screw. I seem to have a 50/50 chance of it rounding it off. Usually they are some rusty fasteners, but I slip even a...

Scored this today. Traded in my old 3 drawer Cornwell cart and scored this for 900. Apparently this is a new color scheme from Cornwell. It has power outlets and everything. Idk what it is. Ever since I bought a few green tools I've loved them IMG_6176.JPG

IMG_6176.JPG Bought myself a new cart today. I guess Cornwell just came out with this color scheme. Idk what it is ever since I bought a few green tools I really dig them. It's got power outlets and everything. Traded in my 3drawer Cornwell cart and got this for 900

Finally bit the bullet and bought and m18 fuel 1/2 impact, 3/8 impact, and a light got thrown in. Used to oiling my air tools daily, greasing when needed. Is there any maintenance I should know about?

My boss today brought in his Mac electric 1/2in impact wrench, I loved it, it was as strong as my 2235timax (prolly a little weaker but it still did everything i asked of it flawlessly. My question is do any automotive pro use these electric impacts at work? Like I said I loved it but I have a...

I have this 18inch snap on 3/8 ratchet that I love, but sadly they dont make a flex head. I don't have nor have I ever had a Mac guy at work or any other place before. So I have no experience with their tools, I see they make this 18in 90 tooth flex head ratchet and I'm interested because I...

Scored this tool cart from my dealer, I love it, the locking mechanism is great for the drawers, not pictured but a lever on the top near the hood left to unlock right to lock. It has a ton of room for my most common tools Bought it because it was dropped coming onto the truck, 400 bucks. But...

Does anyone have experience with the open end ratcheting wrenches from craftsman? I believe husky makes them as well. My buddy at work said I wish open ends ratcheted, if we could make them we'd be millionaires! I laughed and said its already been done I haven't bought any because I have no...

I'm 20 years old, so I pretty much missed the age where any good tool was made in the U.S.A., never owned any USA made craftsman or anything. A lot of people rant here when a tool isn't made in America. I buy a lot of snap on, Matco and Cornwell. I think Matco and snap on are on the same level...

Hello all I work as an automotive mechanic, I have a 2235ti that 90% of the time rips anything off without flinching. I came across a few bolts today (live in the rust belt so some bolts just won't budge without heat) that I couldn't take off. I was wondering if a 3/4in gun would be a good...

Title says it all. I'm talking strictly impact sockets. I bought a set of 1/2 semi deep 15-27mm snap on impact sockets, (the them I was suckered into a sale, and I HAD to buy something lol) I heard they're the best. But the drive end seems to round out super quick. Also noticed my Matcos are...

Specifically 1/2 in impacts. My ir2235timax could not take off a lug but on a Ford Expedition without tightening Down 2 other lug Nuts to relieve pressure. Really aggravated me, when I bought it. I believed it to be the best around. I've heard lots of great things about the Matco mt2769...
