    new matco 3/8 18v cordless impact

    Matco guy brought one into the shop to show it off just as I was torquing a car's wheels down, I pulled out my CT8810 and asked him if he thought it could hang and just danced around it and went and talked to the other techs. The 8810 was shorter and not as long, about the same weight, and the...

    Doesnt OTC or someone make like a hub tamer or hub grappler kit that allows the front wheel bearings to be pressed in and out without removal of the front spindle? How does the OtC version compare to the HF one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
