Conductor562 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 @conductor... I keep breakin my 13mm deep snap on chromy... I put it on my m18 fuel 1/4 hex driver talking off splashshields on trucks here at work.. I also brak my 10mm snappy replaces fast... I just recently bought an impact set from snap on to take the m18 beating...That will solve the breaking issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thickness planer and some hand tools ordered, trip to HD later to pick up the AirStrike and some random stuff. What hand tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT Custom Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks Conductor. Never heard that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 What hand tools? Gearwrench Pass-through socket set and Gearwrench bit set. I'll use the hell out of them but it was kind of a whim buy more than a need. I have plenty of sockets and wrenches and bits and such, but the pass-through stuff has been on my mind for a while and the bit set looked pretty cool so I said what the heck. It'll look good next to my other Gearwrench stuff... Yes, I'm a little kid inside, and tools are my toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well wasn't planning on it but I ended up buying the 3/8 Milwaukee ratchet kit and Jig saw. All I really need is the M12 Fuel impact wrenches. I would love the big beast the M18 high torque wrench but I would hardly ever use it.

NicholasShetley Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I will hopefully order my m18 fuel items Monday. Dr the m12 fuel impact wrenches are %20 percent off until 1/31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at it several times, but never pulled the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'm a blubbering idiot when it comes to Gearwrench, don't as me why. I have a butt-load of Ryobi tools, which makes me look like a rabid Ryobi fan, but Gearwrench...all you have to do is say "Gearwrench" and I drool all over myself. I just like their stuff, I stare at their catalog almost daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Do you have the new 120 tooth ratchets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I've got three sets of the original "5°" wrenches, two standard and one metric. Those are good enough, I haven't run into anything yet that I'd need tighter degrees in the ratchet to justify the 120XP's. I'll bet they're pretty frickin' nice though. The difference between 5° and 3° probably wouldn't make much difference in what I do, but I'd assume they serve a purpose or Gearwrench wouldn't make them.

NicholasShetley Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have a 100 tooth Carlyle ratchet (it's Napa's new tool brand, they are made by Williams.). The 100 tooth is much better than my regular 36 tooth. In my field of work, tight spaces are common and more teeth are always better.

Kato Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 When I first started using Gearwrench I noticed right away the difference between those and typical speed wrenches. The swing on the Gearwrenches was way better in tight spots, some spots where a typical speed wrench couldn't even move. And they were thinner too, so I could fit them into close quarters easier than even regular box or combo wrenches. And I'm not a standard wrench kind of guy, they're caveman tools if they don't ratchet. Regular open-end, combo, and box-end wrenches...you can have them. Can't stand "turn the wrench, move the wrench, turn the wrench, move the wrench...figure out which way to flip the wrench so it fits...turn the wrench, flip the wrench, move the wrench, turn the wrench..." Geez, just thinking about it makes me go googly-eyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also inevitable that you need to use it during the coldest day of the year because some stupid thing broke, and you bash your freezing hand into something because of a stupid wrench slipping or something. Man I wish i knew why hitting a cold hand causes so much more pain than if you were at a normal temp it effing hurts like a mofo!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a set of sunex 3/8's semi deep impact sockets awhile back, and I gotta say they're some of the nicest sockets Ive ever owned. Especially for the money.
