    Snap-on vs mac vs craftsman

Ive had the people at sears argue with me over a warranty, asking for a receipt and everything... since then im more than willing to save the money for a...

    Impact. Cordless vs Air

    I like snap-on's 3/8 impact a lot more than the 1/2 for a couple reasons. the 1/2" is so big and I find that you have to use an extension most of the time as it does not fit where an air powered 1/2 will. also the 1/2 lithium is junk in my book. we have both at my school and we are starting to...

    3/8" vs. 1/2" Impact question

    It works fine, I'm the exact opposite though... I've got 3/8" sockets, no point in spending the money on a set of impacts in the same sizes just so I can put them on my 1/2" impact without an adaptor... If you want a set of 3/8, look for used
