Let us know how the mini impact goes, might be something I consider[/QUOTE]

I tested it out yesterday on two 200ft lb spindle nuts. Zipped both off no problem. Not exactly stressing it to its extents, but for such a small impact its performance made me very happy.

Those are a pretty good vice for an import, you really can't go wrong for the price. They seem to get very good reviews.

It's very stout and is put together well. There's no play in it and the jaws line up perfectly. I did have to clean it out and grease it. It had some metal shavings in it and it was covered in that nasty, heavy oil all chinese tools seem to come covered in. Nothing else I looked at in this price range looked as remotely decent as this vise.

$9 from local cash converters. Separated the good from the bad. Top tools are junk. Bottom is all canada and us tools.

When your dealer assembled the red handle on the blade he didn't phase the handle correctly to the flat part of the blade tip, it should be flat on the side were the snap on imprint is.

Klutch dual hammer mini impact. 320ft lbs working torque (at only 90psi) (4.3cfm) (max torque is irrelevant), but it fits anywhere, and it's super quiet, moreso than aircat. I was impressed with my buddy's heavy duty klutch (full size) that outperformed an IR thunder gun, so I planned on getting a full line of klutch air tools. This is my first one, just got here.

Here is a link to a video of the heavy duty model compared to the IR thunder gun. This is the same model my friend owns. It costs $200, while the mini impact I bought is only $60.


Is that a 1/2" drive?

Just picked up a new 1/2 drive torque wrench. On sale for $40 so i couldnt pass it up.
Beating myself up over this one; really want to pick it up but the online Sears reviews are pretty bad... And supposedly the new line is made in China.
What's the general consensus here? Worth $40?
Heard Kobalt was good at one point but I don't like the new ones.

I don't know honestly. Impulse purchase really. I have had good luck with my 3/8 torque wrench I bought last year. Same style as this and I paid $70 on sale for that one. If it takes a **** after 10-20 uses it has paid its dues for me haha.

As for the reviews on the Sears website it has a lot of notes about payment for reviews. I wouldn't trust Sears for the reviews myself.

I've got an older one that I use for wheels mainly. I know I haven't treated it the greatest but been working good. I noticed a pile in my local sears. All 3/8s though on Sale, in the clearance section. Still the USA ones.

After inquiring about the Snap on HH air chuck, my driver offered to make me one in orange. Gotta say it's pretty bad ***. My driver kicks ***.

Where you get this? I like the color and am looking for a cheap set up.

Menards they were having a new store opening. But they honored the price at my local store in Avon Indiana. I like it very much roller bearing drawers, sturdy heavy casters, dense foam drawer liners. pull out work surface.

The orange one was his first, I was fired up when I saw it. I told him if he makes any other colors I'd take em. First up I asked for a green one!

Thanks for the update. I am going to be checking into their catalog this weekend when I have some time. I really like the color, and the fact it looks pretty sturdy.

I picked up a set of large Allen / KD full polish combos 20 - 32mm last year:
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1576642&postcount=82

I guess it finally bugged my OCD enough that I scrounged the remaining wrenches to complete the low end of the set 7 - 19mm. Here is a pic of the first wrench that showed up at the door today compared to a C-Man raised panel and a Pro. I'll post up all of them when they finally show up.
