Ordered a Snap On 3/8" wobble because the Harbor Freight can't handle much torque at all. You can see on the wobble edge how deformed the extension is after probably about 3 uses.

The 2 green handle Snap on were from my SS and already posted. And the Wera mini and zykolop was from my mother in Law for Xmas. The rest were Xmas to myself! I didn’t realize how small the Nepro 1/4 ratchet was going to be.

Just came yesterday and the Nepros came today.. I opened the boxes and took pics. So I have no useful knowledge of it. Just spinning it compared to the Nepro and the snap on the ratchet mechanism is much louder but that’s all the help I can be.

I’m just a DIY garage guy with a tool problem

Lost the black clip that holds the end of the tube and emailed them about getting a replacement. They sent me a whole new gun and threw in the pry bars for free! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

I've abused the impact ones quite a bit. Hammered hell out of em with an impact and practically stood on them with a ratchet or breaker bar. Haven't broke one yet.

I’ll second that I bought them on a whim and I have had them for 4-5 year not one has broken... and I’ve hammered..... on them with my 3/8 and 1/2 IR TI impacts.

That said I agree with D.McFarland I avoid HF chrome like the plague (except for the pro ratchets) I have Snap on wobble plus for chrome... and they are :D Enjoy...

ChrisLS8,

I use Flickr to host embedded photos on GJ. I also have a Yahoo email account. I would imagine that you have a Yahoo account to use Flickr. Is that true?

I have installed in Chrome the "Photobucket Hotlink Fix" extension to see broken Photobucket embedded photos on GJ.

My latest $4.99 new 'tool'.

Found this 10" stainless steel 'turkey baster' with detachable needle in our local Odd Lot store. Good for lots of general uses in the garage/workshop.

Next time the wife drags you to one of those home goods stores like 'Bed Bath and Beyond' or Coles, etc. that don't carry any tools. Take a look around thru the kitchen aids, gadgets and utensils area. You can usually find something that's of use in the shop or garage.

Besides, it keeps you out of her hair while she's taking forever to get done shopping!

I was grocery shopping at aldi, and they had marked down kitchen utencil trays, etc. Like 99cents. Great for the tool box drawer.

I have actually been looking at that MasterBead dispenser. Have you had a chance to use it yet? If so, what are your thoughts?

I have a metal two half plier style that I was given to me by our Lawson distributor about 20 years ago, I believe it is made by a company called Valco. Although it works well it slips apart during the squeezing process at times and if you set it down to reposition the halves come apart and you have to reassemble again.

This is the style I currently have.

I've got the Valco as well and picked up the Masterbead when it went on sale for $20 on Amazon. The Masterbead is way better and self adjusts unlike the Valco. It's also easier to load a tube; as long as the tube is unobstructed of any hardened sealant you won't have any issues. I've torn a couple of tubes because the Masterbead will tear it where it clamps into the pulling mechanism.

Great. Thank you very much for the feedback.

I'll watch for them to go on sale, $49 seems a bit high for standard price.

Snagged a set of SK 1/4" deep impacts at Circle C Supply for $39. And a few other things to get me over the $50 free shipping...

I've never ordered from Circle C before but shipping was fast and communication was excellent.

Please, I mean no offense, just clarification. I have never understood the use of 1/4" "Impact" sockets.
Enlighten me on what one would need 1/4" impact sockets.
Once again, no offense meant.

DeDe thanks for the tip. I downloaded the Photobucket Hotlink Fix for Firefox and amazed how many pics I'm now able to see on several forums.

Thanks again,
Steve

That's a pretty good price, think I gave 18 for mine and I hunted for the cheapest price. I bent/bowed the 90° tip one trying to get a cotter pin out of a castle nut. Did it relatively easy to, kinda disappointed in that. So an upgrade is in order for that one.
Not sure if it makes any difference, but I believe the mini dominator set is made offshore in Tawain.
