If you need a 8mm hex bit then you stick the 9mm end in the straight or ratcheting box end of a 9mm wrench and viceversa. Same principle applies to all the bits.

I am almost certain that they are Taiwan. Just for reference I replaced the rear brakes on a 08 VW Toaureg which has seriously the tightest caliper brackets or the worlds best loctite. I used a 24" breaker bar stepped down to 3/8 and it showed no signs of wear. A really awesome tool.

Jumped on the feul deal at hd

 

[90zcar]

Ahhhh I gotcha. That's pretty cool. Let us know how they work out. At that price they are worth a shot. Not sure tho how much I would see myself actually using them tho

Thanks for the explanation.
Could come in handy, given the right situation.

Finally my light saber is here (and the new 9.6v NiCad batteries to revive my CTS561)!! Snappy-man also gave me a free 14.4v battery and USB power adapter thing.

I got all my VIM tools through my Cornwell and Mac guys. They are Amazon quality for price and it's so handy having sets of stubby Torx and Hex. I use them pretty much every day working in a Saab Shop.

And I got these in today

Nice.

I was looking at a two part unit like that a few years ago but ended up running across my 3/4" Proto new still in molded case at a local pawn shop and snagged it instead.

Christmas present for my dad. He owns a small construction company , I always have to bring home my impact from work when I work on his dump truck , loader. His old IR isn't strong enough for most of it now.

 

[Jon.R]

He still uses old trouble lights I figured the rechargeable led would be nice also.

good to see the light sabres are showing up in Canada! I ordered both sizes in orange so hopefully will be getting a call from my driver soon to go pick them up!
how are you liking it so far?

 

[MagnumForce]

How much do those run? Look awesome albeit bigger than anything I'd want.

They are that size so that you can hang them under your hood and have nice evenly distributed light throughout the engine bay of your vehicle. They are incredibly useful.

 

[MagnumForce]

Yes, I know why it is that size but I don't work as an auto tech and that would be too large to get into the enclosed areas I deal with in the plant.

Well then you probably have no use for it, kind of like I have no use for 1000V rated insulated wrenches, or ventilation equipment for enclosed areas, lol.

They have one that is a foot and a half long also.

How long do those batteries last on those under hood lights? I love my $40 atd from amazon. I'm guilty of leaving it on while at lunch.

Can't tell what the hell is happening in the pictures but a few mangled teeth aren't the end of the world on them.

lemme know how you like that light...my snappy guy's been tryin to push those on us...i don't think it's any better than my stinger and strion though

I'll find out as soon as the machines start showing up for a MFR service bulletin to re-torque and /or replace some main frame mounting hardware to about 400 Ft.Lbs.

Nice I find those "break down" 3/4's to be frustrating myself so I bought a Proto instead. They're just horribly clunky when you're under a truck trying to torque u-bolts...

Today's arrivals, Proto universal sockets (Were on sale on Amazon for just about 50% off), Starrett scribe and HD center punch, and a regulator for putting shop air to trailers.

That would be awesome, I will look into it.

I have that same work light.

A few years into it and I am very satisfied.

Its awesome, if I'm doing more than a battery or oil change and I'm under the hood you can bet its gonna be used.

Few small things off the big red truck

merbie,

Is that the S.O. seal remover set?

Have you tried them out? Are they really that useful?
