    Dewalt 20v brushless 1/2" impact, opinions?

    Thats the same one I have. Its advertised at 1200ftlbs of breaking torque and up to 700ftlbs tightening torque. If it can make 3/4 of that either way, I will be happy with it. Time will tell. The extended warranty I bought at Lowes allows me to return it no questions asked for up to 3 years.

    Dewalt 20v brushless 1/2" impact, opinions?

    Good to know. I have tools for the heavy stuff but for the forklifts i work on, i hope this gets the job done without fireing up the compressor. Im running the inverter alot more though.

    Dewalt 20v brushless 1/2" impact, opinions?

    I'm on my second one in a week. The first one not only would spit the battery off trying to bust forklift lugs but it would only work for 5sec blasts. I bought the 2 year extended warranty from Lowes with it and they exchanged it no questions asked. The new one seems to be working okay but I...

    Hydraulic cylinder pin driver tool

    In 95% of my repairs, the spike drivers will work fine. Just need to source them locally. This is a railroad town, should be some laying around somewhere

    Hydraulic cylinder pin driver tool

    You know, i think i remember these having "N&W" on them. N&W, now NS, was based in my home town of Roanoke VA, i bet that's where he got them. I need these tools. I cant carry a oxy-acetlyne into some of the buisnesses i service. I have to grunt stuff out.

    Hydraulic cylinder pin driver tool

    Yep, thats it! This tech i was training under, had them in 3 sizes from that one and up to one that was 2" on the punch end. They were bronze if i remember correctly. A couple of solid sledge hits and stubborn pins just gave up!

    Hydraulic cylinder pin driver tool

    Okay, I have used one of these before but I have googled until my fingers are bleeding! Can't find it. It looks like a mallet but with a long snout on one end, a large head on the other, wooden handle to cut down on vibrating the holders hands. One tech puts the snout against the pin, while...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    Well, i get to try the MAC warranty again. Friday i was installing the serpentine belt on a small block chevy powered Hoist F300 lift truck. My 3/8" drive flex head that i was using on the tensioner, stripped. Now granted, this tool is 55 years old but i was barely leaning on it. Im hoping he...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    I spend money on ratchets and breaker bars, larger sockets snd extensions that i know im going to lean on and grunt. I have pittsburg tools that i swear i cant break, then some that snap if you look at them. For cheap ratchets, i like the Orielly Auto Parts "Power Torque" brand, very good for...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    I own some Snap-On but never been a big fan. I have some 1/2" drive long handle pear heads and a breaker bar, some 3/4" drive extensions and a breaker bar. I prefer MAC because my dad used it, kind of a chevy vs. ford thing. I also use a lot of older Craftsman, Proto, SK and Bonney. The good...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    Yesterday was a crazy, busy day. Started off with getting a hydraulic bath. Then wrenched my back rebuilding a carriage on a toyota lift truck. Then finished up the day at the shop redoing, for the third time, a brake job on a toyota lift truck, that was done by two other techs. Boss put me on...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    Well, as luck would have it, i ran into a MAC dealer today. I had stopped by the shop to pick parts up for my first call tomorrow and when leaving, a MAC dealer rolled by. I followed him to the ThermoKing dealer down the street, caught him getting out of the truck, and asked. He said he would be...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    All of the MAC ratchets i have are the same design, round head, and have a "V" at the begining of the part number, example: V9R, V8R, etc. I have 4 of the 1/2" drive standard length handle, and three 3/8" drive standard length, one 3/8 flex head and three 1/4 drive standard handle, then the two...

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    These are the old round head handles with the teeth cut into the head. They will skip at certain points. The ratchet mechanisms look new in them. I suspect my uncle "gave" my dad repaired ratchets and these were too far gone to fix.

    MAC tool warranty, how good is it?

    I was digging through my dad's tools,I had them stored in my barn. I haven't looked at them since 2003 when he died. He had a lot of old MAC, Proto and Bonney tools, really good stuff. My uncle was the first MAC dealer in our town and I suspect he got them from him. I took all of the ratchets...
