I was just about to order on Amazon until I saw "the max pressure for auto tires is 35 psi." Bummer. My Nextec will do that.

Check out Astro's brand new 78613 One-Person Brake Bleeding Wrench Kit w/ Check Valve, which is ideal for brake bleeding without removing the wheels and/or raising the vehicle. It allows the user to speed bleed brakes from the driver's seat without monitoring the bleeders. The one-way check valve eliminates drip since the tool will not bleed without being pumped and also prevents air or old fluid from entering the brake system. This kit includes 3 different wrench sizes (8mm, 10mm, and 11mm), along with a 4ft hose. The wrenches seal to the bleeder valve, and tighten or loosen the valves without losing the airtight seal. The new 78613 will be available Early August, so make sure to contact us for a distributor near you!

So do you still want Teflon tape or some sealant on the bleeder threads?

If you come across any reviews of this once its released, I'd love to see them. I'm definitely interested.

You guys are bringing out some innovative, needed stuff. I don't mean to knock any of your products, I'm just a skeptic and I also don't need another tool that just sits in my box 'cause it doesn't work well but I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Not required. Just snap the bleeder wrench on there, loosen the bleeder, get in the driver's seat and depress the brake pedal a bunch of times (assuming the Master Cylinder is topped off), return to the caliper and see if the fluid in the clear line looks new compared to what's in your catch. Tighten the bleeder.

Glad you're noticing! GJ has the best and most vocal skeptics, which is why I've always liked this forum. Since we don't get to talk direct to end users as much as we'd like, feedback here is invaluable.

You guys are who I like to make tools for, not warehouses and distributors.

Not ideal. In fact, they would be almost useless on my ST1300, which sadly has limited access to the rear tire's valve stem. I have to use a ball chuck to fill it (which *****, I need a 90 degree locking air chuck), and a digital gauge like this Roadgear model to check it.

So, does AP make a 90 degree locking air chuck, and if so can it be fitted to your 3.5" Digital Tire Inflator w/ Hose, Item #3018?

I have a feeling Astro didn't come out with that product to target Honda cruiser bikes.

 

[LXCam]

BTW guys, Astro has a Woot sale going on right now.

 

[BikerDad]

I have a feeling Astro didn't come out with that product to target Honda cruiser bikes.

Them's sir, is FIGHTIN' WORDS.

:





​

The ST1300, aka Pan European,

is many things, but it most definitely is not a cruiser. Moved by a V4 with a redline @9,000 rpm

and the ability to cover 300 miles on a single tank, its a bike made for seeing the next state, not the next watering hole. Hell, the only chrome on the bike is the "HONDA" emblem on the nose and the exhaust.

That said, I suspect that you're right about the product not being targeted for usage with ST1300s. Yeah, I too am shocked, shocked I say, at their blatant unwillingness to cater to such a massive market.

(note: If you ride one of these:

or one of these

then you may consider an ST1300 to be a cruiser. If so, your confusion may be forgiven.)

This,

sir, is a cruiser.



(p.s. in the first pic, you can see how little clearance there is for the rear valve stem.)

Haha, I appreciate your forgiveness

I guess I just picture this and think "cruiser" even if it doesn't fall into the nomenclature specifically.

I've been considering picking up your new. 12sl light and hook off amazon for a while now as my first under hood work light . I already have a sunlite eagle turbo 2-300 lumen 3.7v led lithium flash light with magnet mount that gets hours of use per day (mostly in my mouth)so I need to justify the need for an under hood light . If I have a flash light of the same lumens will your light project differently ? Wider? But less far? That's what I'm assuming. Can you enlighten me on why I should spend the money for this one?

Well I don't want to convince anyone to buy a tool they don't need (although this may be against GJ tradition) but I can describe how the 12SL works.

You're correct that it will project light wider and less far than a flashlight with a focal lens. Traditionally a flashlight beams a 60 degree angle of light, tapering even more when focused down. The 12SL is casting right around 180 degrees. The same amount of lumens cast over a wider area (at a target the same length from you) is going to cause a lot less contrast and bounce back on what you're looking at.
So potentially less shadows and less of the light bouncing off the target and going where you dont need it.

But that's a case for any inspection/worklight vs a flashlight. To encourage you to try ours, if you buy the 12SL i'll send you the hook and magnet for free (for a limited time) Let me know!

Check out Astro's brand new 1124 1/4" AND 1128 3/8" Mini Impact Ratchet Wrenches are the latest in impact ratchet technology. These tools will not stop or rip from the user's hand like traditional ratcheting wrenches. Their 700rpm ratings are 2-3 times faster than other ratchets on the market, and the sealed head design increases tool life by maintaining lubrication and keeping out dust and grime. These impacts have full 50ft/lbs. of tested and verified working torque and are only 6.45" long, barely extending past the palm of your hand.

Can you still break loose a bolt by hand with these?

The ratcheting/pawl mechanism in the head works the same way, so yes even without an air source it will work like a normal ratchet.

Just picked up the Astro Pneumatic 7868. The tool finish is substandard. However they were cheaper than the real thing. I'll just hide them in the back cupboard until I need them.

I'll be picking up the onyx 1822 next pay check

I was considering going with CP for this application because my
CP air hammer impressed me so much that I picked up the CP straight and 90 mini die grinders over the onyx versions

So as I was eyeing and researching the CP stubby 1/2 impact I came
Across the astro onyx version with a cheaper price tag, higher torque and more compact

How much does the torque setting influence torque? Can I achieve low torque for critical fasteners on the 1 setting? Will this tiny thing truly out power my mg325? I realistically can't see something so small out powering my mg325
But that's okay, even if it doesn't I'll still buy it

Edit: one more question , will this stand up to daily prolonged use and abuse and be adequate for me as a mechanic? Thanks

Do you guys offer a full sized 3/8 impacting air ratchet? Been looking at getting the ingersol. But for over $300, I have to look at all options first. It does state it's got 180 ftlbs. and the HF has 80ftlbs. Those are their claims.

 

[bowlofturtle]

Is there a nano 3/8 impact coming soon? I would love that as I have more 3/8 sockets.

- I actually don't have the torque numbers for the other two settings - but I know the most commonly used setting in reverse has been 3 and forward 2 since most chassis bolts don't need 450ft/lbs. 2 is still pretty beefy, 1's more used to snug up bolts on pieces you intend to finish torque by hand.
- We haven't tested a MG325 here, but assuming their torque rating is accurate since I know ours is - then I would say yes.
- We've only gotten one impact back so far, and despite it looking ragged - couldn't find any issues with it. As a matter of fact it registered 448ft/lb reverse and 378ft/lb forward out of his box. There were a handful of design choices I had when choosing components for this gun, and at least 3 of them would have made it more powerful - but after testing I went with the most reliable option in each case. We pretty much always focus on reliability over marketing numbers.
