    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

    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?

    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...

    Relay Buddy

    I picked up one for the fun of it. Its the 12/24v version. I'm impressed! It really works. Yes I know my lazy but can test a relay with my Fluke and Power Probe, but this thing is plug and play! It speeds up an annoying process...

    Hose clamp pliers

    This would be used for the factory spring type hose clamps. It seems I run into more and more of these to be removed as the "8" series Toyota lift trucks get some age on them. Radiators and hoses are becoming a daily repair. I make do with pliers and channel locks but something made for the...

    Tool question, PowerProbe, is it worth the money?

    I didn't see a forum for "tools" and tool related questions so I thought I would ask here. Mods, move if need be. As a forklift/industrial equipment tech, it seems about half my calls are for electrical issues on older trucks. Hack job wiring that leads to shorts and drains. Older equipment...

    Are there any ToyotaLift certified techs on here?

    I'm new at my dealership. Not much training and no previous lift truck experience, but I'm now a road tech/breakdown tech. Zero support, very little training and very frustrated. I recently was given my login info to TMHU but that sight is pretty useless. I need training and downloadable...

    Toyota 8FGCU25, battery light on, new battery/alt/cables.

    My coworker that has been working on this truck is out of town on vacation so I inherited this thing for the week. I have to go there today to sort it out. New battery, new alternator, new cables. The battery light is still on. Anyone have any idea where to look? My plan is to check the...

Did some field service for a couple of years then landed a job in a shop rebuilding Diesel-Electric locomotive brake and engine components. Did that for 30 years but 6 years and no...
