bought some new toys =)

I bought a new snap-on impact gun yesterday, very torquey. Its max output is 675 ft lbs in reverse and 625 ft lbs in forward. Then a couple of weeks ago i bought a set of blackhawk ratchet wrenches with adjustable heads. The impact gun was $330 and the wrenches were $191. Both are VERY nice. Ill take pics with my phone tomorrow when i go to work.

i love my ratchet wrenches, there is sooo much that would have takein me twice as long if i did not have them

and snap-on is my best friend!!!

The only bad thing about them is that when you over do it, you really over do it. My teachers son had it done to his integra type-r and broke the lug scew right off the hub. Ouch.

yes, do NOT sit with the impact and hammer on wheels. for fuck sakes, it pisses me off when the new kid does that, 2 days in a row, he flattened the cone on all 4 on 2 cars requiring new rims and nuts
the other car was a Mercedes, again, over torqued em, snapped the BOLTS off in the hubs, requiring new hubs, rims and bolts. and they still wont fire the fuck-tard because the service manager is never "wrong" when he makes decisions and he thinks the kids great even tho hes costing the company money

thats why you use torque sticks (limit the torque output). We have them at work but I wanted my own thats stronger so I can do more stuff bc our at work only put out 225 max or something. Theyre cheap. Plus Ill need it for when I do a timing belt job on a car that i have, my dad already wants to borrow it this weekend for his truck. He has a husky impact wrench but its not very powerful.

I get a 55% discount on snap on tools. What now bitch.

I get 56% discount on craftsman tools. What now bitch.

i'd rather have snap on than craftsman.

i dont trust torque sticks, my buddy has the 2nd best snap on gun out there right now, used a stick to torque a wheel and it came off on the road, since then he's stopped using them and hasnt had a problem since

:gives: i get free mastercraft tools. warantied for life

I use impact on my lugs all the time, don't know the torque values but I guess it's nothing special. 1PhatCX, they need to fire that kid cuz I'm assuming Mercedes rims (any year) ain't cheap!
Hybrid and quiX are funny...
I wish I had more tools, and a garage... but then I'd be single again... most likely...

well i get umm, sex? i guess for free.... so fuck your tools!!! j/k

what is wrong with craftsmen? just about every tool i have is craftsmen. I get some snap-on tools when the truck comes around.

yea, if you want to really get technical I get a 100% discount on everything at sears

what 5 finger???? lol

agreed, i have tried time and again to tell the service manager to get rid of him but he wont, he's a fucking stuck-up asshole

Yep those are the pics, and the torque output is 625 in revers and 575 in forward. had it off a lil.

Hey we use torque sticka nd then we use a torque wrench. That way youre guaranteed to not lose any wheels on the road lol. We have strict policies where i work.

I forgot to mention that i got a free pair of speakers for my car today =). Theyre cheap pioneers 100 watts for both lol. Whos gonna complain about free though? Theyre brand new. A guy I work with gave em to me. His Dad owns an Auction up in Manassas Va. www.henrysauction.com Well he was goin through some of the cars and found the speakers along with a stock eclipse/talon turbo with about 10k miles on the turbo. He wants to sell the turbo if he cant find a manifold for his truck. Said hell take $100 for it. He said the old turbo was sitting in the trunk of the Talon all burnt up. This one is in almost prefect condition. The compressor wheel is smoooooooothly spinning. No play at all in the shaft.

oh yeah and tomorrow is the auction and I cant go.... damnit... I gotta work. He said there are like 8 4th gen hatches this time. Some may be Si's bc he said some had painted bumpers.

sick, gun looks sweet with the cover too hehe, is urs sparkly? and i think its awesome that ur rachet wrenches come with a case, mine didnt but oh well, i didnt pay for em lol.

what 5 finger???? lol


depends, sometimes it's take 10 :evillol:

wow those are some real nice wrenches.

And there is nothing at all wrong with craftsman at all. They are very nice tools with a great warranty. To tell you to truth all my tools are craftsman, buth since I started school we get 55% discount cause snap on sponcers UTI which means we get a crazy discount. But the advantage to alot of snap on tools over craftsman is they have a lower profile which means its easier to fit them into tight areas.

or a very large coat :D lmao
