    Milwaukee Impact Driver & Socket Adapters

    A)You dont need the 18 volt to break hex shanks. 12 doesnt usually break them. B)when the hex shank twists off in the collet, the stub is a royal pain to remove. C) the 1/4 hex loads in fuel tools by pushing it in. On the cheaper tools you also have to fiddle the lock ring every damn time.

    Hitachi NR83a Leaking Oil

    That 1-3 drop figure assumes nailing all day... if 5 users all do it before a half hour session, the bonus will add up. But extra oil will do far less harm than no oil, and an inspection every decade wont hurt anything either.

    3 years ago. I work for a company that has reefer trucks with liftgates, so take one out for 'maintenance', grab a pile of pallets and a pallet jack. It was actually harder to get rid of what I didn't want to move. And we had a flood while i was moving so i got a 26,000lb truck stuck in the...

    Power seat help

    They go pretty fast on 18V, so if you have M12 or similar, maybe aim for that. A seat switch from a precomputreized vehicle connected to the big wires on the motors might be the way if it freaks about not being in touch with the central data core (timer module).
