I have the 1/2" 10 to 150 lb clicker. Have had no issues this far, although it hasn't seen tons of use. I did use it today when I rotated my tires. Couldn't pass up the price when I bought it ($40 on Amazon a couple years ago).

Husky 3 ton jack and Jack stands, Ridgid mid torque impact wrench with 4ah battery and charger, and a Tekton 14 mm impact socket.

I just picked up the new mid torque impact wrench. It was on sale at Home Depot with a 4ah battery and charger for 50 bucks less than the bare tool. Couldn't pass that up.

I've seen many cases of a tool being modified for a specific purpose (albeit MUCH cleaner), but this doesn't seem to be the same instance. This looks like a hack and whack kinda deal to limp through whatever the task was. Being in the automotive industry, I know how important cycle time is. The...

Agreed. I always get a little jealous seeing posts like this, but in the best way possible. I respect the time and dedication you put into this. I also love watching ideas like this come together. That vice is bad to the bone. Great job.

I love watching projects like this come together. It's as entertaining as it is informative.

I'll second that. I love their hex sockets. They've served me very well so far.

Just made another trip to Menards. Had to pick up this 2.5 lb Halder dead blow hammer (it was on sale for 13 bucks). Also picked up a hook and pick set. We had a decent size rebate thanks to all the lumber/supplies we purchased for rebuilding the deck stairs.

I've been wavering between that and the Klein. Heard both were great tools.

Picked up a new stud finder at Menards.

I've got a corded Porter Cable impact wrench that I bought a couple years ago. I've used it twice. I got it for a decent price on Amazon (less than 80 bucks), so I'm not sweating it. And it will probably last forever.

That seems like a pretty solid target audience. Definitely makes sense with regards to how light the tools are.

Those look amazing. Out of my price range as a DIY guy, but the design is slick as all get out. What is your intended Market for those ratchets? Is there a certain industry that would benefit from the reduced weight? Sincere questions.

Well, finished both sets of deck stairs. It took just shy of three weeks from initial purchase of lumber to completion. It was a tough project, but I learned a ton along the way (and had some fun). The first set (with both handrails) taught me a ton. And I made adjustments for the second set. I...

From left to right: Workforce claw hammer from Home Depot...had that for around 9 years. Possibly longer. Still works like a charm. The next two were an Epstein Day purchase...Grayvik 24 oz ball peen and 3 lb drilling hammer. The Vaughn rubber mallet and Nupla dead blow were Prime Day scores in...

I recently switched over completely to Ridgid, as the LSA and the deals being offered on the brushless line were too good to pass up. I had Ryobi and Makita previously (with the only Makita tool being an impact driver...I still have it). I love having one platform. It makes things a little...

Well, one set of deck stairs is done. Time to start demo on the other set. It's a ten footer....but it's steady as all get out. I'm still proud of it lol.

Part of the deck was, unfortunately. But it was also not really anchored to the ground all that well. And fastening of stringers and posts on the deck was done with nails....far too many nails.

Post hole digger, trimmer string, a new pair of Carhartt tinted safety glasses, and saw horses.

Got a new project underway a couple days ago. I'm rebuilding both sets of stairs on our deck. Both are in dire need of repair, and the price quoted was a bit much for my (and my wife's) taste. I already have the one side removed. All materials are purchased. I'll need to get another 8 step stair...
