I'm working at a Honda dealership, and we frequently get other makes (used cars) in with some problems. Customer has a warranty comes for service yada yada. Problem is, we only have a Honda scan tool. So whenever its something more than a simple check engine light, like something that needs an...

Currently own the Milwaukee m18 tools, and am unhappy with them. Thinking about getting this that they just came out with, anyone have the 3/8 version? was gonna get both this 1/2 and the 3/8... The price is kinda outrageous though...

So I’m a professional auto mechanic, I already own a snap on tool box and cart, it’s a classic double bay. The time has come that both are completely stuffed All my tools are paid off, and the debt I went in for the toolbox got old real quick. I’m happy to spend money on quality tools, but the...

I’m an auto mechanic, I’ve been having lots of jobs lately where I need to cut something off, will the regular sawzall serve me fine or should I pony up for the fuel version

https://shoptoolreviews.com/automotive/impact-wrenches/ingersoll-rand-w7152-impact-wrench/34179/ Anyone seen this? Makes me kinda want one, I have all Milwaukee for cordless, and ir for air. I’ve been dying to get the new Milwaukee 1/2 but my gen one is still going strong. I’m interested in...

I’m an auto mechanic, and occasionally need to cut a part off (shock muffler etc) I’m debating between an air saw or cordless saw. I have milwaukee, I need something compact so m12 saw would most likely fit the description but does it have enough power? I looked at snap ons air saw and it was...

Full time auto mechanic, I have a gen 1 fuel 1/2 impact, and am curious whether it’d be worth upgrading to the gen 2 because I’ve got a bad 1/2 gun, the gen 1 Still works for 80% of what I do, and if it doesn’t work my 2235timax does the trick. Has anyone else had gen 1 and bought the gen 2? I...

I’ve had to warranty a few of my snap on ratcheting wrenches I’ve had for a few years. The problem is all the new warranties ones I get (there’s been a couple of the same sozes) are all really hard to ratchet to the point where I have to break them free on a nut to get them moving again. Idk if...

I have the Milwaukee fuel 1/2 m2763, I’ve had it about a year and a half, it’s been in for warranty more times than I can remember. I have 4 other m18 tools, and 3 m12 tools. All are fuel, but this 1/2 has really disssapointed me. It is used on cars daily, am I expecting to much of it? Lately...

Long story short, I made the switch from heavy diesel and going back to automotive work, and I don’t want my 3/4 impact to be useless, we still do have some really stuck bolts. My 3/4 impact states it needs a 1/2 hose, my idea was to just buy a 1/2 hose and be done with it. The issue I’m...

For example let’s say the battery on my m18 impact is at 50%, will it have less torque than if it was at 100%? I’m only asking because I’m not sure if I’ve ever really noticed a difference on a full, vs depleted battery. Seems to work the same until it dies for me. I guess just in case, the...

So for a few years I’ve used a ratchet and a socket to keep a nut from turning while I use my impact wrench to get it off. Never failed me, I have good Snap on ratchets and usually they never fail. Lately they’ve broken literally every time I’ve tried. I had a particularly stuck nut and it was...

Needing some 3/4 tools, I wanted to look for a brand I know is high quality. Refusing to pay the insane tool truck prices I thought of sk. I was shocked to see that their prices are actually MORE expensive than snap on. What the hell. Granted the sk set has a few more sockets than the snap on so...

I've always oiled my air tools religiously, usually just a drop or two when I first use them for the day. The old timer at the shop says he never oils his air tools because it makes all the crud in the air lines get caked on the inside of the tool. He does still use some rather oil tools and I...

Saw this ad for apparently the most powerful 1/2 impact ever. Seems too good to be true. Can't find any info online

I'm switching from an auto tech to a diesel tech and need to buy a good 3/4 and 1 inch impact. Ive never had a Mac guy before, definitely don't wanna buy the snap on guns. Or should I just stick with tried and true ir

Auto mechanic here, I own several Milwaukee tools, I've purchased the strong 1/2 impact, 3/8 impact, 1/4 ratchet (which I sold), 18v drill, 12v drill, 12v impact driver. All of them are the fuel series. I've had all of them for about 6 months, I've had to send the 1/2 impact in twice because it...

So I bought this really cool new 40in tool cart from snap on last week, upgraded drawer liners and all, and a truck got dropped on it today. Bought this THIS week. I included a pic of the damage and the cart when new. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it fixed, I'm afraid with chipped...
