The new tool thread

[Krarl]

Looking at buying some “Torque sticks” for doing quick wheel changes anyone had much experience of them?

Tbh I wouldn't bother, just nip em with the gun and check them

Unless you're part of an F1 pit crew you should always have time to recheck a wheel properly

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

Size comparison to my big gun😂

@Louis needs one for his now.

I asked him and he told me £35. I'd rather drop the b*****d

Probably don't need one for the amount you use it tbh.

This is the harshest put down I've seen on CS in 2020

RIP Louis😂😂

Are the latest electric guns better than windy guns now?

 

[dann2707]

Are the latest electric guns better than windy guns now?

Yeah

 

[Krarl]

Are the latest electric guns better than windy guns now?

Yeah because people don't oil air tools and they just end up shagged

 

[JamesBryan]

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 😂

Yeah 😂 😂

Their 3/4" gun with the handle on top is chunky enough to snap an arm I reckon 😂

Ridiculous how much torque you can get from a spinning hammer 😅

I feel like Thor using my big gun 😂

 

[jameswrx]

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.

 

[Jamie86]

Shame Makita don’t do rubber boots for theres.

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.

Bloody hell 3 ton how do you carry that around, that's well heavy

 

[R3k1355]

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.

Yes, i've got various bits of wood and a jack puck i use, depending on where I'm jacking from.

I'm guessing you know that's the older gen 1 version?

 

[Djw John]

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.

 

[Djw John]

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

 

[Krarl]

£150 is decent tbf

Gateway drug = Planted
