People collect a lot of things. Many here collect tools and polish them. They have the money and they can do it if they want. I don't understand it, but to each his own.

they go quick

Yes, this is the way.

A buddy of mine told me a story of a newish tech ~2 years in the industry. He had a lot of high end tools (snap on) in a very nice box. This tech decided he wanted to pursue a different career. When he left he took a small tool bag to work and grabbed a few of his tools - some wrenches and...

Because I want to support freedom.

Replaced the center drive shaft bearing. Had to remove the exhaust pipes to gain access. Make sure you have good drill bits when dealing with old exhaust flange bolts and nuts.

A little Carlyle goodness. A bent handle ratchet and some 1/2 drive torx and metric hex impact sockets. I already had the straight handle ratchet, but included it here for reference.

This is the way I'd go too, but I'm guessing that it is too late in this scenario.

Just a quick update. I used the press to remove the center bearing from the 2009 Cadillac CTS (AWD) driveshaft. I used the MADDOX Bearing Separator from HF to hold the bearing while pressing on the driveshaft. I don't feel like this job was particularly difficult for this press. The bearing did...

I'm interested in this as well. I need hex and torx though. I already have 4 sunex sets (Taiwanese) but won't be buying any more as china is a non starter for my values. Not saying i never buy china, but I do try to avoid it when I can.

Those are pricey. Honestly I haven't heard of them before. I did round out 2 torx heads 2 days ago - it was not a fun day.

I was doing some driveshaft work this week and needed some impact hex and torx sockets. I had to borrow the torx and had to make due with an allen key set (not fun). I haven't bought any impact in a while, but back a 5yrs or so ago Sunex was considered a pretty good option, but now I understand...

Proto long flex and snap on regular ratchets.

Worked! Thanks! Picked up a set (3 drive sizes) of proto long flex head ratchets.

ok will try it thanks

Does anyone have any spare coupons 20% or $25 off? I'm looking to purchase a couple made in USA proto ratchets. I seem to keep just missing these and haven't received any coupons from zoro in a long time... Thanks.

I completed plenty of jobs with bottom barrel made in India tools too. Doesn't mean they are good or that I want to work with them either. If Craftsman is the best you can afford - fine, but I'm not going to pretend they are good tools. Mid range at best...

Don't kid yourself... Craftsman is just one of a dozen or so companies that imports Asian commodity tools from the lowest bidder. Even the best of USA craftsman back in the day was only mediocre at best. I bought a few Craftsman from China when it first switched over and honestly it was higher...

Finally got around to putting the press together. Some of the nuts/bolts were a little tricky to access unless your hands are the size of a 8 year old. Welds look acceptable. But in the end its all put together and I think this will serve my needs. I have a drive shaft center bearing to do in...

Will check them out thanks.
