Hi Young.

It's the Cobolt, right ? How do you like it so far ? Was tempted by the 45 degrees angle version...

Hi Young.

Well, they just showed up today, so I haven't got much use out of them yet. I bought them on a whim watching the Amazon Warehouse Permathread. From inspection, they live up to the Knipex name; everything is top quality about them. My only quarrel is with the comfort grips. I guess they're just not as soft as I thought they would be? They're like a hard-ish plastic with a rubber feel to them that makes them seem softer than they are. I'm not sure, maybe I'm just crazy, but I like the regular, plastic-dipped handles. Buy a pair, you won't be disappointed!

Oh, I should add: Like all of my Knipex cutting tools so far, these can cut paper like a pair of scissors.

I will admit, I got the 7-19 set on SK day, didn't even use them and decided to get the 7-24mm..So I am actually going to sell the 7-19mm set on here..*braces for inbound PM's.

 

[warmpancakes]

Snap on CTS725 driver had them on sale so far I'm impressed

Good choice. Mine is sitting in my bed room for some reason. Idk.

 

[warmpancakes]

It's got a lot more balls that I expected, excellent for interior work

 

[merbie]

Anyone have this impact? Has nicads batteries but can I change to lithium if needs be?

 

[Boredmechanic]

Cant change. I have it. Its a tank. No need for Li ion

 

[cadavjo]

Cant change. I have it. Its a tank. No need for Li ion

Why can't you? As long as the connector is compatible, the batteries just need to match voltage.
You can't charge a li-ion battery on a charger only designed for ni-cad, carries potential for fire.
But as long as voltage is matched, the tool doesn't care what type of cells the volts are coming from.

 

[Boredmechanic]

The leads are not the same.

 

[cadavjo]

The leads are not the same.

In that case, he's right...you can't

I've been eyeing this kit for months and with the special I almost pull the trigger. Luckily the truck didn't go last week. I hope he doesn't go tomorrow either hahahahaha

 

[kazlx]

Woot!

 

[Ign]

Yep, but it sounds like most stores have been cleaned out. It appears HD is discontinuing them. My store still has the 3/8" floor display model, that's it.

Its worth it. You will want a dif ratchet though.

 

[durallymax]

My Ingersoll Rand order showed up today.

2235QTiMAX, their new 1/2" impact with 1350ft-lbs torque. Replacing my MG725 snap on with it. Personally I feel the IR guns are balanced better, quieter and the adjustment dial is 1000x nicer than the snappy. Still have the MG725 for sale if anyone is interested.

20v cordless 3/8 hammerhead right angle impact.

12v cordless 3/8 ratchet. The ratchet is definitely built better than the Milwaukee which is why I bought the IR. I wanted something that could tolerate breaking bolts loose manually, the Milwaukee couldn't. The IR is a bit bulky and not as nice to hold though. The lack of a battery gauge kind of *****. I also don't care for how bulky their chargers are. I guess you just can't win in the cordless world lol. Overall I still think if you have to choose a one battery system Milwaukee is probably the best choice.

 

[JBradley500]

Are the sockets in the blue point set 12 point?

 

[Boredmechanic]

Shallow are 6 deep are 12

 

[Crown Imperial]

Teh nut grip.
I hais it.







And a #1 Anex phillips driver with serrated tip so I don't cam out with my clam out.

 

[durallymax]

Those nut grip sockets look handy. Do they work pretty good or no?

I have a set of anti cam out drivers from Wiha. Very nice to have.

 

[Crown Imperial]

They work super fantastico.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Oh wow!

I had no idea anything like those Kokens existed! I can easily think of about a dozen times those would have been handy.

Gonna have to snag a set. Did you get them from Frankstools? Or somewhere else?

 

[Jarhead0408]

Never mind, just saw that you got them from levelchrome.

Ordering as we speak....

 

[Crown Imperial]

Do eet.
They are the ****.
No more sticking masking tape inside a socket to hold bolts and nuts!

 

[Jarhead0408]

Bingo.

I work mostly on metric stuff, but I sure wish they had a SAE set too!

 

[kbradley4333]

looks like i dont get new things as often as most of you but i recently purchased the snap on ct8850 1/2 in electric impact, as well as a harbor freight 5 drawer cart and after reading this im making an order on cripedistributing for a set of metric gearwrench xl racheting wrenches and 3/8 impact swivel sockets, then il grab the 3/8 electric impact off the snap on truck.... shhh dont tell my girlfriend

 

[GortonsFisherman]

More Milwaukee goodness:

 

[Dust Devil]

Do eet.

I must say those are truly bad ***.

I use toilet paper or kleenex.(press the bolt/nut into the socket between 1 layer of paper)
