    best 1/2" impact gun under 200 new?

    After a newly acquired compressor, I'm tired of messing around with cheap guns. I need a gun that will do lugs on a one ton diesel and suspension work. I want to buy new. Yes, I know the HF earthquake is a fine gun for under 200 but I'm thinking something by Ingersoll Rand or similar. Help a...

    dag blast you garage journal!

    Every time I think I'm done with tools and finally come to the realization that tools are just a means to an end, I get sucked back into this place and spend more money than I need to. How many ratchets do I REALLY need to get the job done? Do I really need that set of long reach needle nose...

    can anyone tell me about this CH made in usa compressor?

    A guy on craigslist has this for trade for exercise equipment. I asked if he'd sell outright and he said to make an offer. I need to go look at it but he says its almost new and has only used it a few times. Beening USA made I'd have to say it is an older unit. I don't know what this unit...

    what do i need to know about buying a used compressor?

    My 14yo craftsman took a dump on me yesterday. I'm looking at getting a 60 gal 220v unit. What should I be looking for as far as specs and features? What about things to look out for? How much should I lay for a used one? I'll be running impacts, da sanders and sand blasters from time to time.

    do i need to change out my air hose?

    I just bought hose reel from HF. Its the reel with the 50ft 3/8" rubber hose. I currently have all my air tools fitted with 1/4" npt fittings. I think the fittings are too restrictive to run my impact tools because they struggle even with lug nuts. I'm thinking I need to switch over to the...

    good gawd i'm sitting on a gold mine!

    I realized last week that I don't have any 1/2" drive metric sockets in my craftsman set. I also discovered I'm missing a few different sockets. I went to eBay to see what I could find. Jesus chrimeny, over a hundred bucks for a 1/2" set! Of course this is for the RARE made in USA stuff...

    home depots website *****

    I got a gift card for christmas. I went to the website and everytime I found an item worth buying, it stated "discontinued: out of stock." I'm sure i'll find something I need, it's just a little irritating that they don't take discontinued items off their lists. Ok. Rant over. BTW, MERRY...

    do i really need these?

    I have been thinking about making my socket set more complete lately and came across these. What do you all think? I've always made due with using my impact sockets on the larger fasteners even if an impact socket looks hella funny on a chrome ratchet, but it might be nice having some larger...

    ratchet wrench abuse?

    How much is too much force on ratcheting combo wrenches? Obviously, doubling up, using a hammer or cheater is too much. But what about just using your hand strength or using the **** of your palm to pop free the fastener? Sometimes I'm almost too wary of using them fearing I'm going to break...

    scored some Husky USA made combo wrenches today!

    My neighbor had a garage sale today and had some metric long pattern husky combo wrenches for sale. I snatched them up real quick because you can't hardly find these any more, especially in excellent condition like these are. I don't really need them as I have enough wrenches so I figured I...

    how are tool aid ratchet crimper sets?

    The only decent set of crimpers I have to crimp terminals are a pair of channellock 909's. They work well using the non insulated dimple crimp but I can't get a good crimp using the insulated non dimpled crimp. Doesn't matter what I do, the wire pulls out of the terminal so I use only the...

    How are these holding up for you guys? I've been going through bits like crazy with my ryobi18v 1/4" impact. I bought a set of these at home deep pockets and am impressed with the selection which allows you to expand. Initial impression is that they are good.

    I'm completely done with my horrible Cman rp ratchets. I found a set of the premium kobalt 72t ratchets for about 50 bucks. Should I jump on those or buy the gw full polished set on amazon for about 25 bucks more?
