I believe they were anodized aluminum, not painted. Which makes me think... are the new selectors aluminum or steel?

Those were scrapped. Weren't strong enough.

Both are made by Apex, which is in bed with Matco (Fortive).

I don't believe the pinless swivels were made by NMG. NMG did make a lot of Matco though. They could be now, but they previously were made in an Apex factory (the SC one).

You can also do Direct TVs 3 month package and get a free Apple TV 4K (there might be a Roku equivalent offer with Direct TV too). You have to prepay for the 3 months ($140), but that's $40 cheaper than buying the Apple TV 4K (that you get to keep). Another option for those who want a...

Definitely in!

Bojo are great. I'd used several cheap sets before that and the Bojo have way less flex while still being non-marring. Can't believe there was such a difference, but there was.

Get a quick release chuck and never deal with the spring again. I have the $15 Chicago Pneumatic import chuck and it's been great even on my pretty powerful CP7150.

Meh, I'd go for the original. The Max is slightly larger and more powerful, but I like the original Nano better. The nano being an inch shorter is more useful than the max being 100 ft-lbs more powerful. I have a 3/8 Astro Nano, 1/2 M7 mini, and a full-size 1/2 IR2235. I've never needed...

Oh, a Plomb. That's going to get some people going

If that's the impact socket set I'm thinking of, they had some major error in their database that they were shipping SK screwdriver sets for it. Never got resolved over the 9-10 months it went on. Only too good to be true deal I haven't gotten. I've got the SK hammer set for 80% off, the...

I'm not a member and I got the email too

IIRC correctly, the ratchet heads are hand ground down to size, so some variance is to be expected. This looks to be a bit more on the higher side of it....but yes, it should work just fine.

It's like how guys on here can feel the thousandths or ten thousandths of an inch difference between sockets from different companies just by hand. Don't know why machinists have all these expensive tools if these guys can just tell by feel.

This. We've got a local store that sells to pro tool users (mostly power tools) where the cheapest power tool brand they sell is Milwaukee and DeWalt. Metabo, Hilti, Fein, and Festool make up the more expensive brands they sell. It's a very different place from Home Depot where Milwaukee and...

Aren't dodge vehicle notorious for how bad their lug nuts are to remove when they get old? They have like a hard chrome cap over soft metal, and when the cap pops off, the remnants of the lug are next to impossible to remove without carefully cutting/slicing them off. Having heard of a few...

I got the 750 and I like it. The common theme I found in most reviews was that many people hated it when they first used it, and after they figured out it worked, it was great. I screwed up the first bit I tried in it too, and after a bit more work was able to get it fixed nice and sharp and...

I find the 1/4 snap ons have very high back drag, and the 3/8 have okay back drag, but far from super low like some are saying here. The 1/2 are truly super low back drag. I have several 3/8 Snap Ons, some with years of use, and they are still higher back drag than many other 3/8 drive...

From what I've seen, there have been a fair amount of QC complaints for the first year they were out. MIG drive system seems to be sloppier than most. Some have shimmed the drive wheels to help with this. I don't know if they've fixed the 110V bug where it just refuses to operate on some...

Hammer drills are like multi tools IMO. Yeah, they can do both regular drilling and some concrete drilling, but it's worse at both when compared to a dedicated tool. Non hammer drill all the way, and a SDS chuck drill for concrete (if you ever need it).
