    Torque test channel

    I think every tool on there is compared to the IR making 450, so it's pretty simple if you're interested in the 231 comparison. If a tool make 390 it's almost but not quite an IR 231. Plus I think he has like 20 bolts/nut, and no real way for the hydraulics to wear unless there's a leak

    Norseman Vortex Point

    All these hypotheticals and assumptions from people just looking at a picture and supposing but haven't used these or the Hyper-Steps. You'll know it when you use it, that's all I have to say. I haven't opened the index for my regular cobalt drill bits in almost a year. It's not pixie dust...

    Norseman Vortex Point

    All i know is our hyper-step set has a patent number and "additional patent pending" on it and these seem to have nadda. Good luck to them if that's the case

    Torque test channel

    If so I wonder if it will actually be $250, not that it's an unreasonable price for "the best performing impact" out there. Just seems like AP is usually on the more reasonable end of pricing.

    Torque test channel

    I'm not so sure, does AP even make full frame impact wrenches? The channel said they bought an OEM tools one that looked a spitting image to Eric's but the guts were all different and it didn't perform. If Eric's had it over a year now, where is it??:confused:

    Are 1/4, 3/8, 1/2" socket drive systems the standard outside the USA?

    Yup, Europe, Asia all 3/8" 1/2" ect. I do wonder about 1/4" hex drive like on an impact driver, which I imagine follows as well but haven't seen for myself.

    Snap Ring Pliers...just one or two?

    In my experience is you own any less than 8 different snap ring pliers, the one you need will ALWAYS be the one you decided not you also buy

    Actually seeing the power difference air line size makes [Video]

    Good to see the improvement, but also glad I didn't go run out and buy all 1/2" hoses to tote around all day last year like I was considering. You guys see similar results in your experience using 1/4" or 1/2"?

    Otc puller lifetime warranty ?

    If you say so. I was an avid OTC buyer until I needed a replacement part and got the 3rd degree. Mind you I was trying to BUY a part I messed up, not even warranty and they wanted me to prove I owned the kit and asked why I needed it, and asked how I was using it and that I shouldn't be doing...

    Why Battery Side Doesn't Matter Much on Milwaukee M18 Impacts

    Seems like the XC6.0 is still worth if if you need an extra battery either way

    HF Braun Slim LED Worklight

    Not price comparable, but as far as interchangeable batteries, has anyone tried this or any reviews? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/apt-80sl?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA962BBhCzARIsAIpWEL1MOa4ezT2XPiGXq1DaJzgskYNv50ZCFkip5GsTh9Q0CBOdTGpbNrUaApNnEALw_wcB

    Video: Milwaukee Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mid-Torque Power Compared

    I feel it makes sense that the new mid-torque actually puts it in the middle between the compact and high torque power wise now, with the previous one the high torque was like twice the power which didn't make as much sense.

    Best step drill bit set?

    Hardox will kill everything eventually, but we use mag drills at low RPM with cutting lube and they've done well compared to the various old sets we've used. We were using some Mac ones before this and our guy just stopped warrantying them because every other week we've hand him 1 or 2.

    Best step drill bit set?

    We use a lot of stainless sheet metal and flame cut/hardened HARDOX at work and when we need to enlargen holes we've switched everything over to AP "Blue Steel" step bits.

    Harbor Freight's New (this week) Right Angle Earthquake Impact

    I was on the fence about getting the Milwaukee 2564-22 right angle since I don't have M12 batteries currently, but that's $300. Just pulled the trigger on that AP 1834, at $200 I don't feel ripped off but we'll see how it does. I'll update after I use it.

    Milwaukee M18 High Torque's Power (video)

    Yeah, saw that this morning. I couldn't fall in love with mine, hanging onto a 10lb weight jumbling all over the place. I find myself using air more and more again

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    The M18 High Torque could very well beat air impact out there
