Suspension U-bolts, tie down plates for log bunks (log trucks) & box trucks.

I have a Matco digital in 1/2 drive, Got it because the Snap-on guy was unreliable at the time. The led indicators work backwards compared to the 3/8 Snap-on I have, preference would be if it worked the same. The main thing I dont care for with the Matco is when using the angle feature...

I picked up a set like this a long while back, I think it's the same brand. Worked fine for the cup seals I dealt with at the time. https://www.amazon.com/TOOL-SET-SealTool-hydraulic-installation/dp/B01CYJQOSQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Lot of similar looking sets for not a lot (20$ +/-) on amazon.

Illinois industrial tool, IIT.

I had picked up the Icon deep e-torx set a while back, Seemed decent enough. Used one (E14?) on a Jeep rear wheel bearing and all it wanted to do was slip off after the first couple bolts got torqued to whatever the spec was. Similar problem where the socket deformed on the torx end quite a...

Here's the old thread, no QR on these. Part # 64-091 Armstrong torque wrench repair kit for torque wrench # 796AR-91 https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/1-2-in-3-8-ratchet.385507/#post-7479747

I have an penumatic one, Matco silver eagle. Useful for sheet metal work & spot welds, Grinding welds down too. I've also use it to clean rust scale build up on brake caliper brackets and driveshaft ears that are rusted.

Socket retention is good, I've had no issues. The plain chrome handles are nice, feels better then the Snap-on, and Snap-on isnt bad at all. Armstrong is better yet, but not available anymore. I dont care for the soft grip that Matco has. The thin head and locking flex mechanism are the main...

Norseman HSS is a good bit for general use. They resharpen nice with a drill doctor. Home depot had a set of Dewalt HSS bits for about 6$ at black friday season, they have been pretty good bits in general according to those that I gave them to. I think these are them...

I used the 8" Channellock wide jaw quite often for hydraulics. It'd fit an 1-5/8 nut easily. I removed the soft grip (parts washer softened it actually), easier to use I found. I think the 12" Channellock will go to 2"

I bought the smaller pair and couldnt really find a good use for them. Seemed like I needed either needle nose or slipjoints, not both. So I never used them. Traded them back to the dealer towards some long reach cutters.

I like the hard handle Snap-on screwdrivers in general, especially the mini tip ones. That said, They aint what they used to be, seem to break/wear out more often then I remember my Dad's doing. Good example is I bought a S-O T10 for tpms sensor screws, I think the shank was replaced three...

At work, a vendor had dropped off a sample of Free all a couple months ago, so far it has worked very well and fairly fast for penatrating oil. Not the best as a lubricating oil, but for wicking in places it has done very well. Better then Kroil, IMO...

I liked the Astro 3081, goes to 300 psi which may or may not be useful to some. Mine was Matco, reads a couple psi low after years of use. It does let air out, the trigger's first position does that. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NMCEYU/?tag=atomicindus08-20

What works for me (at work) is impact in 1/4,3/8 & 1/2 then 12pt in chrome. The 1/4 & 3/8 Napa/Sunex impact sockets are pretty much the same as chrome 6pts, thickness wise. 1/2 is a different story but it's pretty rare I need a thinwall in 1/2 drive except for lug nuts. I do have 12pt...

Actually, Cornwell is a unicorn, the mystical thing that supposedly exists. Kinda like seeing bigfoot. Matco is the brand everyone like to hate for whatever reason. I like their stuff overall.

Looks like '53 & '54 to me. IIRC they used to stamp tools when they sold (one year warranty then) and you'd sometimes see one stamping crossed out and re stamped. That would be older though, pre '40's from what I remember from years ago that was posted here. Sometimes the stamping looks...

I ended up with both a 2.5 & 5.0 with a tool I picked up, The run time for the 5.0 was about two weeks on one charge used with a 2554 3/8 impact. Both have somewhat different cases, hard to say on how much better they'll be, case durability wise. I did notice a couple years ago the 1.5 &...

This. When the 10mm hex on the bolt you're removing is a rust tapered 9.7mm these are fantastic. With a new bolt, the fit is obnoxious (tight), though if trying to keep the bolt/nut in the socket for some long reach thing where you dont want it falling out, it may be useful for that. A...

The 3.0's are usually on sale around this time, They would go for about 69$ a couple years ago though, better deal overall then. Old tech I suppose, but they work ok and are fairly inexpensive. I had picked up a 5.0 HO, different plastic case then the 3.0/4.0 (improved? time will tell) and...
