The sticky said I need to provide background info: According to the sticky I’m a “pro” because I will use these tools at work. I’m currently a machinist, so I’m buying chrome to avoid rusting from machine coolant. I spent $300 on ratchets so far, just some 1/4” ratchets and some 3/8” ratchets , should I buy some 1/2” ratchets? I have some pliers on the list, I currently have a bunch of caterpillar sockets… should I swap those out for the snap-on branded ones? Even with the student discount they will cost more submitted by /u/Fickle_fackle99 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This thing is awesome, but it won’t reach as far as I need. It doesn’t have hex mount (name?) attachment point so I can’t use the bit extender that I use for bits like Phillips head, etc. How do you lengthen these forstner bits?

So about 3 years ago I bought the pitsburgh shallow and deep 1/2” impact socket sets as well as an open box icon 1/2” swivel and extension set missing the 3” extension for $20 so I spent about $60 on 26 sockets 2 extensions and the swivel adapter. I ended up with buyers remorse soon after because I didn’t know the Pittsburgh pro impact sockets were an option for just a few bucks more. And they have a more professional design with thinner walls that taper to a smaller diameter further down the socket barrel instead of the little cone taper right at the end. They are just a nicer looking s ..read more

We recently moved into a house and this was left behind by the previous owner. The markings/specs are rubbed off. Is this thing any good? I do some woodworking and use a nail gun but this seems a bit too big. It fits up, however does have a leaky fitting I’ll need to replace. Anyone know what the specs would be for this and potential value? I can’t find anything on Google using the model number, and the rest of the spec info is rubbed off.
