    M18 impact - mid torque vs high torque

    Yeah, the highest torque item on my 912 is the fly wheel gland nut at 400 ft/lb. based on the spec of the mid torque, it is capable of 650 ft/lb of removal torque. I would think it should be fine? The next biggest item is the rear axle bolt at 250, which the mid should be fine doing. On...

    M18 impact - mid torque vs high torque

    I understand there are two schools of thought: a) get the lightest/smallest tool necessary to do the job, they are easier to handle, work with and fit into tighter spaces. B) or get the most powerful one, as it’s better to have power when you need it. What’s are your thoughts around this...

    M18 Milwaukee Impact 2767-20 vs 2863-20

    Are you talking the 3/4? Or the mid range 1/2 one? Which model #? I figured the big one could do everything the smaller one could and more... is it just the size that prevents you from using it as much or is it too powerful? I would probably use it more for removal than install... but...

    M18 Milwaukee Impact 2767-20 vs 2863-20

    So - just to make sure i understand: It does not use any more batter than the non OK, if you do not use the OK features? The tracking thing does not continue to eat battery life? does the OK come in its own blow mold case? I am not sure if i care much about a blow mold case or not.. i guess...

    Which bench vise should I buy?

    I have a masterforce from menards that is similar to your blue rotating one. I really like it, especially for the cost. It's stout, the rotation offers a lot of flexibility and it holds really well. at $80 its hard to beat...

    M18 Milwaukee Impact 2767-20 vs 2863-20

    Hey guys, My wife wanted to get me the Milwaukee Impact I keep drooling over for my birth-mas (my birthday's 5 days after Christmas). She wanted to know the exact model and spec.. I would have typically said just get the 2767-20 (non one key), however; the 2863 is the same cost online right...

    Ratchets - flex vs non flex, locking vs non locking

    So fixed heads are your bread and butter, unless you have to go with a flex? If you hate locking and detents, whats so good about the B-52/4?

    Ratchets - flex vs non flex, locking vs non locking

    Yeah excellent point on lengths - eventually i would like to upgrade to a set of SN 80 tooth (probably used); but I think i want to figure out what will be come my go to before i buy it, because i cant buy every version under the sun; basically just a 1/4, 3/8 normal and stubby, and a 1/2. So...

    Hoffman Werkstatt

    One thing I have been considering is selling my us general 44” box (it’s a gen 1), and the big monolithic work bench. I do t like that it’s harder to upgrade and add on to the box and I’m losing potential bench space. I also keep fighting with the location of the bench. With the orientation...

    Hoffman Werkstatt

    Re: Hoffman Werkstatt (17x24 with an 8x19 attached lean-to) It’s been 4 years or so since I’ve made any updates. I will need to backfill and re-add pictures that have since disappeared. This year we refinanced and took cash out to repaint the house and finally upgrade the electric to 200 amp...

    Ratchets - flex vs non flex, locking vs non locking

    Hey guys, I am quite disappointed with my craftsman ratchets after more than 10 years of solid use. They are just too clunky. I am going to upgrading a few areas of my tool box and I think ratchets will be a good starting point (in addition to screw drivers -as posted on another thread). I...

    Upgrading screw drivers

    Sorry that was a typo, should have been 74 instead of 75. Would love a 74. again its mostly about the right car. Keep in mind most engines of survivors have been gone through and TR's tossed out, head stud issues fixed etc. 74 also did not have galvanizing, so thats a downside to it...

    Thoughts on quickjack?

    timely question. Not to hi-jack, but I too am debating the quickjack, but also considering a bendpack or atlas scissor lift - primarily because of the height (my engine comes out from underneath). i would like to know how high the quickjack goes, how maneuverable they are, and if one is...
