    Agreed. You'd need several.

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Has anyone caught a price for the M12 RA Die Grinder? Also, from the presentation I watched on the torque wrench, it wasn't clearly stated that the motor will only put out 60ft/lbs. It was almost implied that it would go to 150ft/lb. I'm inclined to believe no, but with how damn bulky it is I...

    The Green Snap-on Tools ****

    They said they were online, and my dealer said they were but limited. I asked him to put me down for 1. That was 6+ months ago and still nothing

    New Milwaukee M12 stubby impact wrenches announced for all you mechanics

    Definitely would be a big upgrade, would probably handle lugs if torqued properly/using anti seize. It would definitely cover 90% of your work

    Tap and Die set.

    I bought that set when I first got into fab work, its usable but the taps and dies will break easily and they do not last, after a few uses the threads are junk. I ended up just buying Hansen taps and dies. They're not terribly expensive and they're the best quality cost combo. All the too...

    I never understand why someone would pay more than retail for stuff like that unless its sold out/collectible

    Metric combination wrenches - Carlyle or Sunex?

    I have a few sets of sunex wrenches and while they're functional, they all have chrome peel. It's pretty irritating. Their sockets are great but wrenches not so much

    Cordless Impact for Mechanical Disassembly

    I am a die hard Milwaukee guy, I have probably close to 50 cordless tools(m18/m12). I agree that overall they are the best(not by a ton) on either platform and when it comes to automotive/mechanic type tools they absolutely dominate. But dewalt is still a great company, they're just more geared...

    Cordless Impact for Mechanical Disassembly

    A lot of mechanics use cordless these days, theres still a place for air, but there isn't a ton that a cordless cant handle. Check out milwaukee if you're looking for impacts. They definitely are a league ahead of the other brands when it comes to impacts. They have everything from super high...

    That baffled me as well. I got mine and thought they sent me the wrong model. I probably wouldn't have gotten it if I knew. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a dedicated 1/4".

    New Milwaukee M12 stubby impact wrenches announced for all you mechanics

    I understand that perfectly, I wrench professionally in the rust belt. All I'm stating is that Milwaukee is generally spot on with their rated specs especially with impacts. A fresh or well maintained fastener torqued to 250ft/lb can be removed with this impact. If you torque a bolt to 250ft/lb...

    New Milwaukee M12 stubby impact wrenches announced for all you mechanics

    Hey I am the first to say if Milwaukee messes up or flops on a tool but I dont know where you're getting your information because here is a video of the m12 3/8 breaking a nut torqued to 250ft/lb with an adapter between the socket and gun. The 2763 first gen high torque? Several torque test...

    New Milwaukee M12 stubby impact wrenches announced for all you mechanics

    The other review linked just a couple posts up literally shows a guy torque a bolt down to 250ft/lb and break it lose AND hes using a 3/8-1/2 adapter. Milwaukee doesn't stretch their torque numbers, every impact they've released has multiple videos on them showing that they all meet or even...

    Knipex vs Snapon cutters

    I have both snappy and knipex. I think they're both great, in different areas. I grab my knipex for small wires, zip ties, etc. Mine are very sharp and smooth. Great leverage. For heavy stuff, I use my snap on. They're bullet proof, I use them for stuff i probably shouldn't and they're still...

    Preordering tools is always a crapshoot. They will send it though, they aren't gonna steal your money. Toolnut is a reputable site

    No doubt that's a killer deal no matter what. I wouldn't worry about it being stolen, guy probably bought it on clearance and is reselling or just bought it and never used it

    Actually he will, but I've only ever lost a tool once. I keep track of my stuff pretty well. But I was mainly referring to replacing broken ones.
