its been a long time since i'v posted on here. just wondering if anyone has tried the new IR battery ratchets. they make the ratchets in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" and impacts in 3/8" and 1/2". I bought one of the 3/8" ratchets I've not used it yet but I think that I will like it and will probably get...

I bought a tray of magnetic extensions from mac tools. he said they were new and had been selling a lot of them. seems like a good idea, I remember putting grease in a socket to keep the bolt or nut falling in a tight place. anyway they were not bad for 105.00.

just bought a set of the extra long mac metric wrenches from 9mm to 19mm. these wrenches come in handy, I used them over the week end on my wife's car with the front wheel drive that is close as hell on both sides of the engine.

I ordered me a new vise for my drill press from msc. it has 2 axis and seems to be very accurate. I think its a little over priced as I paid almost as much for it as my drill press at 479.00 just for the vise :scared: . I looked at a bunch for 20 bucks and 40 bucks but they looked to cheap made...

I bought a I.R. thunder gun yesterday and didn't know that it was limited edition until looking at the box it came in. does anyone else have one of these. was it a special gun or just a promotion they are running?

I have broken several taps and usally have to take a punch and drive the tap all of the way through and then redrill. these have saved me a lot of work removing broken taps. they slide into the flutes of the tap and then use a wrench to twist the tap out. very handy. :thumbup:

here is the first set of mac wrenches that I bought back in 95. these wenches have been used a lot and i bought the roll pouch to go with them. if I go to the salvage yard I always take these. they range from 1/4" to 1-1/4". I paid 672.95 for these 11 years ago and it took me 4 and 1/2 months to...

my dad built this tractor 47 years ago. I bought it from mom and kept it for years and finally restored it last year. it has a 1939 ford rear end with a closed driveshaft and a 3 speed studebaker transmission and a 1957 ford steering column. I put a new 10 hp engine on it and the way it is...

I had to change radiators in my wifes car (buick regal). the radiator switching was easy after I finally got the clamp off of the hose. I worked on that bottom clamp for 2 hours using every type of pliers that i owned and my son had to work his smaller hands behind the a/c lines to get to the...

You can sure tell that I love my gear wrenches. i'll grab these wrenches before any of the others. :thumbup: I bought a set of the new mac sockets called the (edge). mac tool guy said that they will turn a bolt head that has been rounded off 70%. I have not tried them yet, just thought someone...
