    A coworker brought in this Snap-On 1/2" Impact he found at his house. It was beat up and not in working condition. A good lube later it hammered off an axle bolt off a BMW, just as much as I could expect from an old 1/2" impact :thumbup: The he was kind enough to give it to me :dunno: Though...

    Wright VS SK Combination Wrenches

    I know this topic has been discussed before but I've heard both companies have been changing in quality of late so I liked to get some current feedback. I'm looking for a new set of combination wrenches and have been looking for a set made in the USA with a quality brand-name. The SK and Wright...
