Got some more tools today

[GoodysGotaCuda]

Mac order just about came through. Got my Snap On stuff the other day, few things from Matco coming as well. Gotta take advantage of that 50% discount while I can! Got plenty of useful things, the 1/2" impact is rated to a spurt of 1,100ft/lb    , 3/8" is up to 300ft/lb which is what i'll use the most. 1/4" and 3/8" air ratchets, gearwrenches, swivel sockets, all the fun stuff

Looks like Christmas came early. Congrads on all the new equipment.

I really like MAC tools - they've got some really neat designs and their prices are usually pretty good.

I like Snap-On and I know they're good stuff, but they're simply too freakin' expensive unless you get some good deals or especially on used stuff.  I got a Snap-On Torque Wrench with lifetime warranty, used but in EXCELLENT condition for like $50 bucks or something like that.  It was a fire sale basically as the truck driver was retiring.

Congrats, bud.

I agree with the Mac stuff, I do like how they have some better designs on things and prices. I  didn't buy too much from SnapOn, I do LOVE their new 80tooth ratchets. They are really nice to work with vs the old cog tooth ones. Screwdrivers I went SnapOn, they have a little 9.2v driver that works great for dashes, oil pans, screws here and there. All my airtools are Mac, best bang for buck on a lot of things.

When I was a tech at Ford, we had this one stupid recall to replace the release latches for minivan rear bench seats.  I only got one van the entire time I was there, and to replace these latches you simply took these screws out of the handle, slid the old handle off, slid the new handle on and replaced the screws...

I sat there for HALF AN HOUR trying to take these freakin' screws out.  They were SO TIGHT that I stripped one of my Craftsman phillips screwdriver heads.  Finally after enough cursing my master tech came over, asked me what was going on.  I explained, and he laughed, took his Snap-On phillips screwdriver - just a regular screwdriver, nothing fancy - had the screw out in 15 seconds.  He turns me to me, hands me the screwdriver, and says, "Snap on, dude - there IS a difference."

I bought a set later that week when the driver came by.    Still have 'em, work great.
