    3/4” drive impact decision making

    Hello all, I will be going back to spinning wrenches for my full-time job in a month. I have 95% of all the tools I need except for three-quarter inch drive gun/sockets etc. I will be working on agg equipment tractors/dozers etc. I would love nothing more than buying an impact made here in the...

    Do you go with what you like or what works?

    I got a lightly used SO ct8850 w/ 2 batts and a charger for $250 the other day. I bought it knowing good and well that they are heavy for the power and unreliable, all because I just like it. I couldn't tell you what I like about it, I just enjoy it. My current battery tool lineup consists of...

    MG1200 vs awp075 vs IR2145

    Hey all. I'm looking for opinions on the current 3/4" guns out there. Is the mg1200 hit and miss reliability like its smaller brethren? How does power to the other 3/4" guns compare? I have an awp050 and love the thing. Seems like other than handles breaking here and there they seem to hold up...

    What's hot and what's not from cornwell

    So we've got a Cornwell dealer coming by the shop now, and I have to admit that the purdy Cornwell chrome has me wondering what the most desirable tools are they make? I've read some ups and downs, a lot of people seem to have chrome peeling issues with sockets and sometimes wrenches. Is this...

    Chrome universal sockets and flopping

    So I'm going to either buy SO or MAC (any opinions on Cornwell and does the chrome peel?) chrome universals in 1/4" and 3/8" drive. I was going to go the SO route but then got to thinking, is there NOTHING you can do once it wears and starts flopping? Do the current USA MAC universals have a...
