    Air hose reels: HF 50' or Flexzilla 50'?

    I would go with the hose of your choosing connected to the reel of your choosing.

    Jack stands recommendation- Had a harbor freight failure

    Neat idea but I don't like the idea of a fixed height... plus these are only 12" high... depending on the job I typ want the stands to go as high as my jack will allow <20" I don't even think you could get away with an oil change on a car with these stand.

    Jack stands recommendation- Had a harbor freight failure

    I hear ya... I said f-it and ordered 4 myself. I spent 3days under my HF and had zero confidence the whole time :sad: The only thing stopping me before was price. These will mainly be used on my M3 in conjunction with their flat round jack pad adapters - it's a perfect pair.

    ^^^I was expecting more torque on removal... not less. This all just became really disappointing to me.

    I wonder what the "nut busting" torque is on the compact 3/8 210ft-lbs.... :headscrat

    Really great response! I'm thinking, for my situation, the 3/8 210ft-lbs compact will work 99% of the time... but you're right, that one time it doesn't work kinda defeats the purpose of purchase. For that situation, when the time comes... I just assume I'll purchase a small HF pancake...

    Those that have the M18 Compact 3/8" impact (210ft/lbs torque) do you wish you had waited for the Mid-torque M18 Compact 1/2" (450ft/lbs torque)? I'm a weekend mechanic and I'm trying to decide between them... I can't think of many (if at all) scenario where I'll need over 210ft/lbs of nut...

    There's some mis-guided information in this thread regarding the performance output of the compact m18 batteries vs the XC... straight from Milwaukee - there is no difference in performance withstanding duration of charge.

    Coastal Tool Supply

    Any update on these guys? Google review searches are both good and bad... they've got the jack stands I want for less then 50% everywhere else, which is an auto warning sign to me.

    I've also re-arranged the heights on my metal shelf to better utilize the storage, added two wall mounts for my ladders, added a shelf to my peg board to hold my chain saw, and added a retractable extension cord reel near the OH door motor.
