    1/2 Impact: Kobalt 24v or Milwaukee M18

    My impact is currently a craftsman and is under powered. It's trash so I'm looking to upgrade. I narrowed it down to the Kobalt 24v or the Milwuakee M18. So the Kobalt has everything and the batteries are dirt cheap. The Milwaukee doesn't have a charger and replacement batteries are a...

    Tekton or Gearwrench 1/2 set

    Which one would you choose and why? Kind of undecided but let me explain why. I like the 84 pc set Tekton has because it's a complete set.

    Where do you buy your tools?

    Like what are some good places to buy quality tools? Pawn shops? Online, eBay? I went to a local pawn shop, they had an sk 1/2 set with about 10 or some odd sockets, and he had $200 on it.
