Indeed, 700ft lbs of the snap on vs 1100ft lbs of breakaway on the milwaukee... there is no comparison
You're right, there isn't any comparison because Snap-On doesn't tend to harp all over "break away" torque figures on their electric or pneumatic impacts instead preferring working torque. The working torque for the 8850s first blow is around 700 foot pounds followed by ~600. This is different than "break away" which can be much higher. All 3 are comparable. Most people confuse the 8850, which is barely a year old, with the 7850. The former was a big step up in power. Im still putting it through its paces but this thing hits like a mule.

Wife bought me this last night. Feels pretty good for $10. I've been wanting a ratcheting screw driver.

My very first Snap-On product ever. KRA2007. Basically to be used to store our karting tools and small spares and consumables. Perfect fit for the trailer and nice and maneuverable around our pit area.
Very impressed with how smooth the castors are. Drawer slides not bad at all. It's very solid and sturdy - can see why it costs more than the cheap Chinese boxes flooding the market. The Lock n Roll system is also a very welcome feature.

I bought a M18 Fuel 3/8" impact and 5-inch random orbit sander to add to my Milwaukee collection.
A 1/2-inch hammer drill from Sears that was on sale for $60:
A 8oz ball pein hammer and 1 1/16 USA combination wrench that I picked up for $10 with points and a discount:
And a set of wobble extensions from Harbor Freight. They are made in Taiwan and only cost $10, so why not?
I have that same set of Wobbles from HF, no complaints they have held up well and like you said for the price you can't beat it

Emergency upgrade. Somehow lost a battery and the charger for my Bosch drill's on the job. Need tools for some upcoming jobs at workand found this deal at HD today for $130. It's DQ'd so good luck finding them.
The radio is pretty sweet, and loud.

Do these lock up if you move the selector lever too far like the craftsman premium 84t do?

Very cool that they're bringing more of the quality Matco/Armstrong designs over to the Gearwrench name now (especially these locking flex heads and the pinless impact swivels).

Whoa, wait a sec, they ARE coming out with Gearwrench pinless impact swivels? That'd be awesome!

You weren't joking. Those are pretty pricey.
I think I'm with LORDDiESEL on this one. Maybe I'll get lucky on the "Bay".

New to me from a local flea market..
Plumb claw hammer with fiberglass handle $5
Drain tool $1
Stanley hack saw $3
The hack saw required some Kroil and elbow grease to restore and abate the corrosion, but turned out pretty good for a heavy duty version..

New Snap on Spindle restauring die set and Vim S7000 scrapers.

Oops, missed this reply! Thnx! It is a Leinen Vise. Model 'range' Junior, the biggest model - 150. Made in Germany. Replacable jaws, spindle is cheap to buy as a spare too. Swivel base available afaik but $$.
It has 3 mounting holes, 2 in front (one visible) and one on the back (through the table top).
It's more of a precision vise with its dove-tail guides than one for the roughest of blacksmith work. That said, still as strong or stronger than a normal model vise.

A few used pawn shop scores, mixed in with an amazon, kotulas, and zoro order. I am actually disappointed in the Facom adjustable pin spanner wrench. It is made in Taiwan and if you adjust it open too far it falls apart and it is a pain to get back together.
I just added the water to it, it has not been pressurized yet. I am doing that next, so don't worry!

They are 90 bucks. 103TMLPA.
Not much choice if you want locking extensions for 1/4" drive impact drivers.

You can get an SK set of the same sizes for $40 or $50. You wouldn't get the storage tray though.

Oh yea made in USA too? Thats great! The SK look just like the Snap-On ones. Probably made in the same factory lol.
What people dont know is you pay full price for some snappy stuff then your driver cuts you a deal and you get ridiculously killer prices on all the stuff you can't find elsewhere. So I'd rather pay an extra 40 now and get 100+ off cash sales on other stuff.
