Love them! Great job.

Tool shopping, 4th of July, vacation, BBQ, beer, don't think it gets much better.

Don't overlook the Milwaukee 18-volt fuel line. Brushless motors, excellent battery life, and most powerful in their respective class. My 3/8" impact will loosen the wheel nuts on my 3/4- ton truck. Lots of power in a compact package. Love those tools.

You want to use the largest gauge wire you can find. The resistance in larger wire is less than in smaller wire. Resistance decreases, current increases giving you more amperage to start the disabled vehicle.

Most of my hand tools are of the SK brand. They are over 20-years old and used everyday in the aviation field. A few ratchet rebuilds and that's all the.issues I have.had. They are outstanding tools and rarely get much attention from the masses. I also use some Cornwell, which I also like.

Same issue with my Milwaukee 18- volt , 1/2" impact. New brushes fixed her up. If your batteries are good along with serviceable brushes suspect the motor.

Was talking to an older salesman at my local Sears and he was saying there has been some talk about moving Craftsman hand tool production back to the.USA. Wishful thinking? Anyone else hear anything?

http://[email protected] They sell apex bits and the holder you can use with your ratchet. Family owned and. Operated business selling mostly American tools and goods. Located in Kansas City, MO. Great folks to deal with and they can order special items too.

I'm with Scott on this one. The real concern is that is doesn't chaff against another part or the frame and the manufactured like doesn't leak. If the answer is no to both questions call it done.

Does anyone know if the Knipex products are included in the.sale? I'm after the mini bolt cutters.

One of the must have tools, especially if you live in the rust belt. I have a medium duty Victor set-up and it's great. I agree; if you have the room get the larger tanks, you will be happy you did.

If I can't talk to the owner of the tools, see them ALL for myself there is no way I would buy. Sounds very odd to say the least. I guess there is a chance it's legit, who knows.

One of the key issues in soldering is the wire prep. Strip both pieces of wire about 1/4" or so, more if need be. You want to create a "mechanical connection" before adding the flux and solder. Lacing the wires together works well, twisting them together is good. The goal here is to make a good...

Do you know how to check the motor windings with a multimeter? The motor could be shorted.

Good find, now look for a Baldor, older model, grinder.

I have had a similar experience with CPO. I buy my M18 Miluwakee tools from them.

Yes, I have heavily invested in Milwaukee M18 products. They just work--all the time and aren't yellow.

Agree with staying away from the business end. I have used this machine numerous times and it's not to be messed with. It doesn't know the difference between feet, hands, dead cats and the like.

I purchase a pair of 10" diagonal cutting pliers years ago, the next day ordered all my pliers from Knipex. I have worked these tools for the last 10-years and they are still in perfect condition. I scored my Hazet ratchets when I was stationed in Germany. They rock too! IMO, you will be hard...

Pretty slick, I'll remember that. Thanks Doug!
