Don't worry, I don't plan on selling my .401 hammer. When you say it destroys fittings, do you mean you're using a whip hose that threads directly into the tool with no quick release coupler on that end? The "you did it too fast" always gets me what with the years of experience and thousands...

I just contacted Aircat. They state that the 5300 is made in Taiwan as well as all other models except for 5 (China, Tire service market) I just did some checking, for anyone who cares. - The Aircat 5300 is made in Taiwan with a 2 year warranty. - The Astro Pneumatic 4980 is made in Taiwan...

Good to know about interchangeability. I've read that before, but yeah things change or get produced in multiple factories, assembled in different places, et cetera. I'm not sure that Japan versus Taiwan really matters to me as I see it practically. It might to others. I will say having...

This is good to hear! Will they be sold with the hammers? Any idea on availability? Thanks for popping in! This is exactly the kind of response I was looking for. Thanks for adding! Thanks for sharing your experience/knowledge. I will keep this in mind. I do plan on keeping a .401" in the...

One question I forgot to ask: How hard is it to get replacement parts for something like an Atlas Copco?

I did notice that, which does help. But having never used any of those types of guns makes it hard to understand how it will actually work out, what kind of "feel", trigger control, and so forth it will have versus the competitors. But yeah, based on what I've read here, something equivalent to...

I was in this situation a few years ago. Ended up buying the KRL1022 in Royal Blue, used for $2600. I was able to touch it in person. I liked it better than anything else I could find to touch in person. I looked at everything available online, but everyone's opinions online are so different...

I hate to make yet another thread about this, but I can't find the answers I'm looking for. I want one for professional automotive work in the rust belt. My Snap On PH3050B leaves quit a bit to be desired at times. Obviously, a lot of people recommend the Astro 4980 because it is essentially a...

Thanks for the thoughtful response. At work, we have quite a bit of space and everyone's jobs end up sprinkled throughout, so I actually roll my 56" KRL1022 around the shop and go sans tool cart. I'm looking for something to set up as a computer/diagnostic/oscilloscope/writing cart. I want to...

NAPA has their brand of Homak tool carts on sale for much less. I haven't investigated whether boxes are much cheaper, but they may be. The one I'm looking at is 700+ at tooltopia, 600 from Homak, and 475 from NAPA. Does anybody have any experience with the 35" slide top carts? The full drawer...

I've been eyeing up the Genius Tools GW-7906M since I already have a set of double box non-ratcheting. I have no experience with any of their ratcheting wrenches though.

I mean I could certainly try if you'd like! :needpics:

Tool arrived today! I ended paying 199 with free shipping on the company's website. Ordered it Sunday night and it got here today, Thursday, from Hawaii. The owner of the company, Henry Sim was extremely accommodating in responding to my email inquiries in great detail. I even received a...

Professional Technician here, and I use the Fuel full size 1/2" impact for wheels, subframe bolts, anything else that requires a lot of oomph. I also have an IR 231C air impact that I have as backup, and use in cases where I need a lot of power but don't have space for the electric. I'm not sure...

I would like to thank you all for your responses - especially those of you who clarified the purpose of these tools. I do have a puller/separator that preloads the joints and it works when it fits (I've actually been considering buying a second one from harbor freight and modifying it for bigger...

I've used one in the past that was my boss's at the time and it made things a breeze compared to using a prybar. I got fed up the other day and almost took my fingers off on a particularly rusty car, so I've decided to pull the trigger on one. Has anyone used one or both of these tools? Blue...

I watched a guy repair our garage door. Now I can do it myself next time!

Hi, Garage Journal. I am a recent 2-year Automotive Technology graduate. I'm still taking some classes like diesel and high performance engine building. I have been lurking this forum quite a bit for help with piecing together my tool set, mostly. I was working in a shop where I used the boss...
