Maybe hook the dead JNC battery up to a 12v battery charger with a delsulfator function and let it sit for a few weeks. Have been periodically charging my 770R with said charger. Original battery is going on 9 years and saved my wife from herself a couple of weeks ago. Could also be the...

^ pretty sure the difference is only branding. Following link - cites they white label for Mac: https://www.gripedgetools.com/pages/about-us Would note this just applies to bits and extractors. Mac wrenches with rbrt am pretty sure is Facom/SBD derived design.

Unless you have a Mac truck or have other stuff to order from Mac I would go with Gripedge and 20% and not get ripped off on shipping. Word is Gripedge has some sort of licensing agreement with Stanley Black and Decker for the RBRT IP, but the large bit sets are almost identical to extent I...

If getting into RBRT - would get individual bits in the sizes needed from MAC or Grip Edge and load them into bit holders if doing it all over again. https://www.mactools.com/products/sbdb77rbrt https://www.gripedgetools.com/collections/multi-bit-sets

The hex-plus is good stuff. Probably 2nd only to RBRT, but RBRT has more bite when you really need it. It's gotten stuff out that hex plus was just rounding further.

I think I need to try a YBN on Shimano even though Shimano stuff tends to like Shimano stuff. Hopefully its just as quiet. Sounds like the SLA1210 would be the one to go with? Definitely needs to be soaked in solvent prior to immersion or drip wax. I use a jar of old gas. Then dry. Then...

I am a chain waxer as well, although probably use Squirt more so than immersive waxing due to ease. Am pretty sure immersive waxing with an ultrasonic boil probably gets the chain cleaner vs the microfibre wipe down suggested with water based wax lubes. Pretty sure before 12 speed all Shimano...

This video made me realize I have a slight problem... in that I have somehow collected all three of the "top" hex key brands already. Knurled PB Swiss are what I reach for first just because they feel so nice in the hand. I agree with many here that they are on the pricey side, but they last...

Not sure if you made the switch yet, but have gotten some more experience with Shimano 12 speed drivetrain wear. Maybe SRAM isn't so bad afterall... Blew through a Shimano XT chain on my newish 1x gravel setup, was really surprised how far past it went by .5 wear using both a Park CC-3 and...

yea a while back I bought a roll form tap (there's a bunch of different names these go by) in m5 based on recommendations by you guys. Need to look into sourcing one for pedals/cranks - 9/16" x 20 TPI, but am pretty sure they don't exist outside of the Park Tool TAP-6.

I was in the same boat with road, gravel and mountain bikes all below 30 lbs. Now trying to wrestle an e bike or cargo bike on a traditional repair stand is like a two person job. I thought I was smart using a harbor freight lift cart, but even that gets old and working on the ground *****...

^This. Rather not remove material if I can help it. In auto applications thread restorers sometimes really save the day without resolving to more drastic measures like helicoils, etc. Probably even more crucial in bicycle applications only because things tend to be installed and reinstalled...

With a cargo bike and Specialized Globe Haul in the family fleet this new Park repair stand is really piquing my interest. Compared to the Unior 1693L and other alternatives this seems semi affordable.

Anyone willing to try burning their packout for "science"?

That was quick... I am out of coupon codes for the time being. Was able to take care of one member. Had one expire last night, but usually I get another one in a few days so will try to take care of folks in order they PM'ed me. As a matter of protocol, please post in this thread if you are...

Doh. Be careful its a one time use. I was going to pull the trigger on the packout m18 vacuum, but because I was generous to a family member I now screwed myself.

Please post if you need coupon codes. I must order too much from Zoro as I get a new one every couple of days. A lot of us like to PM them so random snoopers don't get them as they all tend to be one time use.

Agreed a v2 m12 surge would have gotten me more excited. With the power of the M12 stuff I'm not sure if M18 is worth it in 1/4 impact form. I gave my m18 fuel impact away a while ago, but have since bought a mid and high torque in 1/2 form which can handle the higher torque.

Thank you! My old man is getting a grease gun for $85.

I'm personally done buying knock off M18s even at less than $5 per amp hour it's not worth the frustration and potential fire hazard.
