    Costco Torin Jacks Toolbox?

    Costco in Houston has had the 56" black Torin for about a month - The side lockers are pull out sq hole peg board racks Another complaint are the drawer releases Costco also has a new SS CSPS 42" cabinet with the same drawer releases as the Torin. So I would guess CSPS makes the Torin Boxes too.

    cordless impact wrench

    I prefer a ball detent or rounded pin for socket retention. The regular pins lock the socket onto the the sq drive - Before I swapped out detents on my milwaukee- I had to find a twig or nail to release the sockets - Or just permanently leave a short extension on the gun.

    Gimmicky Tools

    Scanned this from the back side of an old craftsman tools set item list I am guilty of owning and never using the clench wrench - I think I picked it up on clearance from a Sears hardware store for 2-3 bucks. -Grillmasterp

    cordless impact wrench

    I would suspect that the tool set you were looking at included an "impact driver" and not an "impact wrench". For removing lug nuts - you want the 1/2" drive impact wrench The smaller 1/4" hex head impact driver is usually intended for smaller fasteners. Such a tool would be good for radio...
