I use bent handle flex heads exclusively. My daily shop ratchet is a f732

Here's my best buddy and shop dog, Stella.

I just picked up a set of mac line wrenches with a similar open end on them, they work surpisingly well. You have to fight yourself to stop pulling away from the nut, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome

Figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread. Do the yellow handle drivers have the Lazer tip too? I want to be able to pull my tool box around the shop by 1 Philips ;)

No issues with tipping. It works great. The 7/8 holes with a mag drill took a very long time and was messy. I miss counted and added a set of holes that are not use able which is the very top set. Oops. Then reamed holes with a 7/8 reamer that reamed them oversized a hair (figure that..) and...

Had scrap laying around and decided it was the right stuff to make a hydraulic press. I was tired of pressing things on my buddies tiny press that I have to hunch over, and with a bad back, it *****. This is 7'x3' using cheap horrible freight 20ton jack. I haven't used it much yet but seems to...

Phosphoric acid is the way to go. Clean as much rust off as you can with wire wheel then depending on how bad rust is. May end up doing several coats of phosphoric acid. It will convert the rust, it could turn white and crusty, and bare clean metal will end up dark grey. Which is safe to paint over.

I would like to mention I got a chance to use these, and they actually work surpisingly well. Atleast when you have room for it, kinda screwed if you need to flip wrench other direction to get a better angle on it.

I have really worked on the car too much recently or updated the thread. But I see quite a few car builds here maybe a few of you would like it. I have re worked a few of the earlier shots since taking a metal finishing class just no pictures of it all yet...

We're your troubles using a cutting torch? I use a Miller Spectrum 375 X-Treme . Works awesome

Never shattered broke or ruined a chrome socket with an impact, nor had any issues of retention from anvil on any of my guns. I have cracked a mac impact flip socket though, while using a chrome extension.

I'm confused... you were staring at a weld with no helmet?

I too have gotten a metal sliver in my eye while wearing wrap around safety glasses. It took me about an hour to actually find the piece that wad bothering me it was a piece about 1/16 long that darted it's way into the color part of my eye. I was able to get it out myself, but it started to...

Heres a shot. I have a set of speed style craftsman wrenches that I think are just horrible, but this mac design is completely different and looks somewhat promising. I won't use the set too often as I'm a vw mechanic, but should get the jobs done on the older American stuff I tackle. Plus the...

Wondering if they work well. And how they hold up I guess. Being discontinued I hope it wasn't for terrible reasons. Problems with posting pictures right now I'll try later

Picked up a set of mac line/flare wrenches and I can't find any info on them even by part number either I'm doing something wrong or I don't know what. Part number is cobr11mm .... and so on Haven't hand a chance to use em yet but can anyone tell me about them. Don't see them on macs website...

I always used delrin for sheet metal fab

I said I could. Never said I would. California. Orange county and la area

Never thought of a round burr on a dremel. Good idea. I could smash them with a hammer and return them... they are useless otherwise. And not sure where you guys are but my local sears have USA made sockets still. I'll try the dremel trick first though. Nice call.

Weird that its mostly a 1/4 problem. It's very annoying Some of my deep 1/4s are with out detents aswell
