    help with first airtool purchase

    As was pointed out earlier i dont have too high hopes with this size xompressor but im sure it can run a 1/2 impact. I have read some impacts run better on less air an others hog air. I think my compresser flows 5.5cfm at 90psi. Any good impacts in the $150 or less range that are quiet and...

    help with first airtool purchase

    Home depot did not have much in the way of air tool couplers. Where do yall get your airtool stuff. I also need a nice tire inflator that goes over 50psi. I have 65psi in the excursion right now and did not see even a tire gague at HD that went that high.

    My wife bought me a nice kobalt 30 gallon air compressor as a birthday gift with a 50 foot hose. I have always wanted air tools but never wanted to spend the cash when my elbow grease was working just fine. I think i want my first tool to be a half inch impact , mainly for taking off tires and...

    Where to buy a ball joint press

    Went on and just rented again because I couldn't make up my mind. I need to pick up a hinged screw type ball joint separator. The forks are... shall we say, hit and miss. Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk 2

    Where to buy a ball joint press

    I was going to order a ball joint press from autozone or O'Riely for about $120. Before I do that I wonder if anyone has any recommendations. I saw Harbor freight has one for $80. I will probably use this just a few times a year working on my vehicles and working on cars for friends and family...

    Is this chisel really from 1932?

    My mom found this cool metal tin with an old chisel in it at a yard sale. The chisel as far as I can tell is a cape chisel. It says "old forge 1932 USA". The other side says "wear safety goggles". That doesn't seem like something you would find on a tool in the early 30's. Any ideas? Sent...

    how many of you have 6 pt wrenches?

    What is the point of a 12 point socket? Why do those exist. I always use 12 point ratcheting wrenches unless it's tight. Then I use a 6 point socket unless it won't fit. I have broke plenty of bolts free with the ratcheting wrenches I have where I thought for sure they would break. Reverseable...

    Need review on new duralast "six side grip wrench"

    After playing with them for a few minutes I can agree they may not be durable enough to be a person's only wrench set. These have drive arows on them too. No explanation on the package but I suppose the cams grip best in one direction. Flip the wrench over for reverse. Sent from my Q10 using...

    Need review on new duralast "six side grip wrench"

    I have a autozone rewards card. $20 on it after 5 purchases over $20. I always get rewards on it because I buy my oil there for my 3 cars. It adds up quick. I also signed up for cupons on autozone.com and that's how I got the 20% off. Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk 2

    Need review on new duralast "six side grip wrench"

    I was in Autozone today buying oil with a 20% off coupon when I saw a new type of wrench set on display. It's called a "Six Side Grip Wrench" set. Part number is 50-103. The box wrenches have cams on them so the drive bolts from the sides and not the corners. This makes them nice for use on...
