    What 1/4" impact/drill do you use

    I have the Craftsman nextec 12v impact. I love it. Had it little over a year and use it daily. I use it for probably 60-70% of my work. It looks like **** now but works great. I have to charge the battery anywhere from 3 days to a week depending how much it's used each day. I've had the same 3...

    pneumatic casters on toolbox?

    cool, thank yall. I've seen the pit boxes before, My idea is similar, but I also was thinking of have the tires mounted wider then the box, not just longer so that way it's not as tippy. Maybe some of the no flat tires on casters?

    Tool Box Selection

    What size box do you need? Harbor freight has the 44" roll cab with top box and side cabinets available at a very reasonable price point. And they are a high quality box compared to others in the same price range. Much better than the current craftsman and husky boxes. I've read they are even...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    :beer: Thanks! Thank you! I've got a lot of great feedback when I first took it into the shop. Still get comments on it even almost a year later. First day of work after taking it in, the boss was checking it out and asked "so where you hiding the tv? you have everything else in there!" Lol...

    impact vs chrome sockets

    Ya, I know that voids the warranty. My snappy dealer said he would warranty sockets no questions asked, but if you tell him you used it on an impact he would have to turn you away. kind of a don't ask don't tell policy. All my 3/8s are Mac, and I use them on my 3/8s impacts also. Again, i...

    impact vs chrome sockets

    :spit: Thanks for all the input everyone :rocker: I have only used a breaker bar once in the last year and half at this job. And that was before I bought my MG725 which I mostly use on the large and stubborn hardware. 75% of the time I use my Cman Nextec impact driver with a Dewalt 3/8 impact...

    impact vs chrome sockets

    I figured that was about it. I need to get a set of Metric sockets for work. I have a 1/2" S/O chrome SAE socket set I got second hand, but no metric. I was just thinking why buy 2 sets of socket (chrome and impact) when I can just buy the impacts and that is all I should ever need. The...
