mrbigtanker Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well I think the new stuff is just as good if not better, technology brings better designs and metallurgy. My mate owns a truck and gives me really good deals I don't like just spending money, Craftsman is all I need but I can't stand Sears and done go there if I don't have to.Milwaukee is good stuff to, I just like the Snap on better. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Flat this is the best price with free shipping. I have a few sets of gearwrench wrenches and ratchet sets and have had no problems yet. Have not tried there taps and dies though. https://www.jbtoolsales.com/gearwrench-82812-114-piece-large-double-box-ratcheting-socketing-wrench-tap-and-die-set/ 1 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Take that bottom box, add one of the side cabinets paint it bright orange and that is what a guy I work with has for a toolbox.....You could fit all of his tools in one drawer. 2 Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hey gato, do you have the Milwaukee 18v 1/2 impact? More specifically the 2763 brushless. If so how is it? What hasnt it been able to break loose? Ive been itching for one and just came across the SO one for $300 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I do not have one. A co-worker does and it's bad ass. Short of rusty, frozen crank bolts...Nothing stands in its way. Look up video reviews between that and the SO. Milwaukee beats the shit out of the other. Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think im gona have to scratch that itch.. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Get it. Warranty alone makes the thing worth the money. Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Going back to the cordless ratchet deal. Are the 1/4" really all they seem? I always have ran a Cornhole air ratchet since A) I work in a flat-rate shop and he comes to me, B) I have air everywhere I tend to use it, and C) It's gotten me extras both times. Lately it's been giving me some fits since my awesome shop hasn't changed the air dryer and I don't think its totally oil filled anymore. I've been thinking of going with the Milwaukee cordless but I want real world reviews. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 If you have a Cornwell guy you can buy Milwaukee from him. Buying from Home Depot or Amazon will get you better value though. I had a bad ass IR 1/4" air ratchet. Quit using when I got the 12v Milwaukee 1/4". It's not the strongest or fastest. It does a great job though and you're not connected to air. You're a toyota tech, right? 2.4 timing cover, any water pump, timing belts...Do almost everything with it. The ones I can't get with 1/4" I have a 12v 3/8" Milwaukee gun that does the rest. I have since sold my 1/4" air and have not looked back. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 If you have a Cornwell guy you can buy overpriced Milwaukee from him. Fixed. Yeah, Toyota tech. I had a IR ratchet first then the head blew apart on me. Had the cornwell one for awhile and it's been good. I was just thinking it was time to upgrade, plus I'm getting tired of dragging the air hose over the fender, praying the fender cover doesn't move. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Give the mwaukee stuff a shot. Way better value than the other brands of electric stuff. 5 year warranty on tool. 3 year on the battery. 1/4 the price of SO. Half the weight. Equal performance. If you can buy a tool that is brush less, it will say FUEL on the side of it, do not hesitate. I removed a transmission/transfer case from a 17 highlander V6 today. I used my 1/2" air on the axle sockets. Every other bolt was 1/4" Milwaukee, 12v 3/8" Fuel, and my 18V 3/8" Fuel. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Look up Milwaukee vs. Snap-On videos on YouTube. Milwaukee wins hands down. 2 Quote Link to comment

Timing cover wouldn't surprise me in the lease :rofl: :rofl: Spanner is the non-US term for the open end wrench if I'm not mistaken, Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 P07457F. 8 speed. No forward or reverse. This car has become quite the headache through Toyota International. Is Ronley your FTS. He knows about it. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Any difference that mine gets dirtier than yours? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I don't use those two indicators very often, especially the .0001 starrett. My cheapish that I use for everyday stuff are in terrible shape. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 My dial indicator is a cheapy. It gets abused. The clamp I have for it is not. Every brake inspection it comes out. Thing gets dropped a lot. Quote Link to comment

Thing gets dropped a lot. I hear you on that, I dropped my nice co-ax indicator a couple of years ago and keep its carcass as a reminder to not drop shit that costs a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment
