    How to use an impact wrench

    That thing isn't going to snap many bolts. No idea what you have for a tractor, but a couple ugga dugga will do the job.

    I have the guard on wire wheel side, but the rest is turn backwards down out of the way. I don't find a need for a rest with the wire wheel.

    Tested: Does a Cordless Impact Beat an Equivalent Air Impact Wrench?

    I know for a fact my 20v Mac/DeWalt is stronger than my snap on pt850 air impact. Even with 150 psi line pressure, the cordless outpowers the air noticeably. It has made my air impact 100% useless for me.

    I believe something like a kra5311. 53x19 heritage box. Might be the slightly cheapen versionwith lighter casters.

    Question on International toolbox

    This is 100% speculation on my part. As far as I know, SPG International went bankrupt and is dead and gone. I'm thinking someone bought the rights to their designs. International had designs of their own that they are easy to pick out, like the triple bank box with the two narrow banks on one...

    Best value long pattern combo wrenches?

    Maybe do some looking for Facom wrenches. They are the same as Mac Precision Torque wrenches that a lot of guys love. Some quick looking online and it looks like you could get sets pretty reasonably. Generally I would suggest Wright as they are a great wrench, but only a little bit longer than...

    Stubby combo wrenches

    I like my SK stubbies. One nice thing with SK is the standards go up to 1" and metric up to 24mm. Those larger sizes come in hamdy. I'm not aware of anyone eles who makes that big of metric stubbies. A few companies make up to 1".

    What Machine Tools Do You Have?

    Nothing too fancy. 11" South Bend lathe, 15" Baileigh benchtop drill press, 1960's Craftsman horizontal band saw, Matco(Wisstoa) 7" bench grinder, Dayton 2" belt grinder, Nugier 50 ton press. At somepoint I want to find a Millright 2/3 size bridgeport mill and upgrade to a mitering bandsaw.

    Snap-on Roll Cab - what model and value?

    I believe the number is krl1023. It is the taller and deeper master series box. It has the older style caster so 15 years old seems about right. As to $14k for it new, that seems pretty high for 2005. I don't believe that box was over $10k new considering my box, the double bank krl1022 was...

    Gray Tools?

    Two completely different companies. The Gray you speak up is an American made jack, jackstand and other forms of lifting or support devices. Gray tools of Canada is Canada's top of the line tool company, to my knowledge on par with Proto.

    Pliers with extra slip joints?

    I'm pretty sure these are the type of pliers the OP is looking for. I'd be lost with out good old simple slip joint pliers. The third position as simple as it sounds is a real upgrade. I have a pair in ever plier drawer between my different boxes.

    Hobbies

    My new hobby is getting back into biking after not doing it since '07. It has kind of turned into a wake up call to how out of shape I am in that I pretty much can't even really enjoy it. It has set in a motion of conditioning myself and working to get in better shape so my heart doesn't explode...
