The new tool thread

Got a boot for my stubby, for £35 it saves me ruining it

You're talking 2000nm on the big guns now.

So accessible and the fact you don't have to have a compressor and traipse around with an airline is a nice thing.
Aye, there is nothing worse than having to have an airline or a cable when the tools that use them are the same if not worse than the battery version

My big gun will do a wagon wheel nut with relative ease, tried and tested 😂

Have you seen the 1" Milwaukee? c**t will probably spin me around trying to hold onto it 😂

Cant imagine they’ll ever be as good (powerful) as air. Never ceases to amaze me when I get an air gun out on a crank bolt, even a pretty small, old snap on 1/2” air still blows away the newest snap on 1/2” battery one (the 9 series). I hardly ever use air now (more from the inconvenience of the hose) but it does remind you how effortless they are when I do.

The question is whether you need that much power and also if you’ve got a decent compressor.

I needed a new jack in a hurry, and just got a cheap one from Halfords. I haven't used it yet, but for the money (£50) I'm pleasantly surprised. Hopefully now i can get under the car and stop abusing the sill jack points.

This is the badger I have from Costco, more expensive, but low enough to get under and also good to use.

They're fat b******s, I miss when Costco sold the 2 ton Ali ones.

Mine was only dangerously un-usable when I got rid.

With a block of wood on the jack point? Cos that cup is excellent for shredding into metal if you wanna try lift a car right on it.

Got a couple of bits with the eBay 20% off, because why the f**k not😂 Sockets are proper proper stubby! Even stubbier than my little tinky tonk

I have pretty much every ratchet you could think of... oh no wait I don't have a pass through ratchet yet😈

Yeah but as a package it was a good deal. TBH I was planning on buying the ryobi since thats what everything else and makes sense for sharing the batteries. But my elbow is giving me some amount of grief and the ryobi has been out of stock for ages.

I'll see how it goes and keep or sell on if needs be

Definitely nothing wrong with it, just checking to make sure you weren't being conned into thinking it was the latest model mate.

Appreciate it, well hopefully I wasn't! £150 posted, charger, battery, bag. Not that I care about the bag right enough! I fancied the long reach but it was £180 bare
