48$? They're unavailable on sears' website now, and online its going for 130$. I'm a few years late I see.:willy_nil

I'm considering that Husky and this Gearwrench so I'll be able to measure every torque up to 200 in lbs. Lemme know if this is wise (I do small engines). HD's website says +/-4% and gearwrench says +/-7%. A little shady there...

I hear the Husky's are the good cheap ones right now though. And this says lifetime warranty? On a torque wrench? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-Drive-Torque-Wrench-H4DTW/203541509 Where should I go for the quality discount torque wrench these days? Btw when it says 20-100% of range...

So a quality torque wrench should be +/-2% accuracy from 20-100% of full scale I hear (Snap-on). I was wondering what would the torque accuracy be below 20%? Huge difference, highly inaccurate? :dunno: I'm looking at Snap on at Precision torque wrenches. Ill probably go with Snap on because the...

Sweet . On to tap & die & extractor sets in my tool quest. Anyone else have opinions on the pro line excluding the 150?

Good to hear. I already put it on my list. So you think its best value for the $? Its about 5$ a piece.

The Mayhew Pro 24 piece Punch and Chisel (MAY 61050) set for 108$ has everything I need. Are these good tools for the $, or just the 150 line? Is there a better value alternative...

Not the 150 line, just the regular other sets. I'm thinking about buying a big set or putting some sets together for my specific needs. They're priced pretty well at certain sites, I was wondering how they are for the buck. Unconditional warranty. Who has experience with these and other...

I got the newer milwaukee shockwave 46pc for 15? from Home Depot on sale

So I wanna get the most variety in the large set that doesn't need to be impact rated. I'm looking at these two: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DE91H1U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DE91H1U/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Any suggestions, reviews on these or if you could point me to a...

Merry Christmas everybody

Hm. Snap on's lifetime sounds great, does it apply to normal wear though? I'll get that later maybe. Back to my original questions, whats a good (nice quality, value)set that will have about every drive I'll need with engines? This...

I'm building a starter set, that I want to last for years and be a back up once I can get higher quality (expensive) tools. At that point I'll build a set with Apex, Snap-on or the like. For now I'd like to get a set that will include every drive bit that I'll most likely ever come across while...

Thanks for all the comments, got some really good answers lately. The m12 3/8 impact wrench won me over, since I'll need more torque with 3/8 than with hex or 1/4 anyways. I gotta wonder, with the Milwaukee shockwave series, it says that it absorbs 3x more torque ( for the purpose of not...

So I decided to go with lower torque and higher maneuverability for now. Later on I'll get something with really high torque. Got a question: I hear when you use socket adapters on impact wrenches that you lose torque. How true is this and how much torque are we actually losing? Specifically...

Sweet thanks for clearing that up. I wonder why the Snap on high torque 1/2" is 600 bs torque, while the milwaukee and IR have 1,100 ft-lbs. Snap on is falling behind on the impacts.

I'm going with the M12 Fuel 12-Volt Brushless 3/8 in. Impact Wrench Kit for now. Not much torque but it'll fit into a lot more places. And 185$ sounds like my budget. With the GRE1128A adapter for 7$, 3/8 female to 1/4 male. Most likely later on Ill go with the M18 Fuel 18-Volt Lithium-Ion...

I love the versatility but its torque is too low for my expected use.

The specs I read off IR's site say the 2235 has a max of 1,350 ft-lbs torque, and the cordless IR W7150 has a max of 1,100 ft-lbs. Pretty close IMO. The main thing I wanna do with the impact is remove nuts quickly on 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2in drives. I think I'll start with a 3/8 cordless, move up to a...

I'll definitely get a similar set of adapters, but wouldnt I need a female 3/8-male 1/4 to run 1/4 drive off it?
