>>25751014whats that for? Dunno about cheap but a good set of needle nose pliers and dyke cuts
>>25751021>dyke cutsThis could be the name of a lesbian barbershop
120 bucks during an online home depot sale, and came with 3 batteries. It's life changing. Despite being 3/8 there is very few fasteners I havent been able to break loose.
>>25751032I'm in the market for buying one of these bad boysAre DeWalts any good? Milwaukees are too expensive for me...Or maybe Makita?
>>25751046Totally anecdotal but makita is good. In my experience using these tools for work every day (quarry/construction) milawukee by far has the best battery life and endurance. I wouldn't touch Dewalt with a 10 foot pole. Just pick a brand and stick with it
>>25751032Just bought a 1/2 inch and fuck it was worth every penny
>>25751046>RIDGID Don't sleep on them....Their 1/2 impacts are just as good as any you'll find. I've got the octane and the fuckall huge 1200ftlb torque model for suspension and junkyard applications. The 1/2" octane will take care of 99% of what you do and can be purchased around $150 on sale with a battery.
>>25751046DeWalt just came out with a new set of impact guns and they're supposed to be pretty great. I've been meaning to get one myself since I'm on their system.
>>25751049Yeah, dad's had a Makita saw like in pic related for like 11 years now, it probably has 300 hours of use, and abuse from retards that borrowed it from dad, and the motor and bearings are still perfect, I guess I'll just go with Makita>>25751077Does not sell in my shithole
>>25751160We have makita drills at work, like 4 or 5All of them have broken chucks. They always brake in like a week or two. Now were making the switch to milwaukee
>>25751160>$50 on FB marketI wouldn't have thought to post it, but you're correct.
I got mine for $20 CDN on sale. It's always best to be the guy with the biggest pry bar in the shop whom everyone else borrows from. When I need extra hands they help or lose their access to my break-fast bar.
>>25750996I use my MAP gas torch to finish my steaks sometimes, just on the side with the fat. It is really good at rendering the fat.
>>25751046ahem FUCK DEWALT

>>25751160You in Europe? AEG is the same thing as Rigid.
>>25753330M12 impacts are pretty pointless for automotive use. Spend the extra $50 on the M18 system.
>>25751014YeahI made one before I knew that my local parts store sold them
yah know it may not be cheap... costs around $150 for 2 batteries, charger, and the 3/8 impact wrench but goooooddddddd dayummm it's the most useful automotive tool on the planet. It speeds your work up by about 10 timesLook just buy one and use it and you will NEVER be able to live without it
>>25751190Found the leaf. Gonna buy a torch this week there, it's on sale. Kek
>>25753457I work for Jeff Bezos and I have been told to tell people to buy this. Please buy this buy it now if you don't currently own an electric impact wrench https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCF902F2-XTREME-Brushless-Cordless/dp/B07TSB68YS/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=dewalt+3%2F8+impact+wrench&qid=1659415289&sr=8-5pls don't ban me
>>25751046Get the Milwaukee, the others aren't bad but for shop use they are king, mine has been drenched in oil and water and coolant and after 5 years it works like the day I got it ( minus a new battery or two)
>>25753496milwaukee is nice but if you don't shop around to get a deal they are pretty pricey
>>25751022I wouldn't use that piece of shit on my car. I've had 3 of them explode in my hand doing a simple voltage check.
>>25751046Dewalt impacts are fine. Fuck their drills though. Had two XR's die on me after three uses. Absolutely dogshit.
>>25753518Why did you keep buying them despite the risk of digital amputation?
>>25753522They were free at the time.
>>25750996if you havent already, buy a pick set. so goddamn useful for poking at things in tight spaces and also for loosening hoses>>25751014>>25751021trim clip remover. i bought a plastic aliexpress set for just a few bucks and am now seeing why the metal ones are much better. since theybalso spread whatever force you apply over a wider area they dont mar trim surfaces as much as youd think. csn always wrap in tape if unsure.
>>25753330>>25753336theyre ok if you only ever work on your own cars and you know for a fact that every bolt was torqued to factory specs. Definitely go with 18v if you encounter any rust
>>25753457>>25753482>12vi'd rather take the extra weight of 18v battery just for the extra run timework has wilfuckyee m12 fuel and god damn it just eats the batteries and the shitty charger can't keep up
>>25750996Unironically the little double sided screwdrivers out of junkyard subaru tool kits are REALLY nice, I'm pretty sure they're JIS as they fit perfectly in JIS screws. I try and keep one in all of my cars.

fuck how could i forget. stick magnet, get a stick magnet. and maybe even one of those flexible magnetic pick up tools, the latter is a lifesaver if you dropped a nut in some awkward spot that the regular stick couldn't get
>>25751046If you are going to use it professionally, just pay up and get the Milwaukee, otherwise a mid tier brand like DeWalt or Ryobi (Home Depot's brand) should be fine
>>25751022ThisWell I had a free one early but never learned to use it. Once I learned how some of that shit works, it was a game changer. One of my most used tools.>>25751032>3/8”Wew lad, you fucked up as a first ugga dugga>>25751046DeWalt has the best sales. Milwaukee has the coolest tools. Makita is for teal fanbois. Ryobi is the best for DIYers. Ridgid and Kobalt give you a lot for the money but they don’t have an extensive tool lineup,If you want one for automotive, 1/4” impact driver + socket adapter for small stuff, and then a brushless 1/2” mid-torque or high torque for big stuff. Don’t cheap out and go with a 3/8” or a 12V because you want to be cool and have Milwaukee for <$200, they won’t have the power when you need it.>>25750996Pic related is sweet for like $30
>>25753457See >>25753336>>25753951The only people who defend the 12V or compact or brushed cheaper 18V impacts for /o/ stuff are the people who have never used the good brushless 18V 1/2” guns.18V DeWalt Atomic 1/4” impact driver with 2 batteries goes on sale for $99, get that bitch for all the small stuff and it will be far more versatile than a 3/8” 12V impact wrench. And then get a high torque like the DCF899 for big shit when the time comes.People buy those 12V 3/8” guns because they look cool without much reason behind it. My stubby 3/8” is unnecessary 95% of the time if I have an impacy driver around
>>25753767thank god ive been looking for a replacement for my sprayguns
>>25753963Clockwork
>>25754010Only took me 50 replies!It is my goal in life to stop naive anons from being disappointed in compact cordless impact wrenches that will not consistently remove lug nuts.
Stabbed way too many filters before finally getting one.
>>25753553>trim clip removerNo. It's a window crank removal tool.
>>25750996If you have Milwaukee stuff, buy one of these.You'll wonder why you ever dealt with an extension cord.
>>25754354Yeah my 18v 3/8 dewalt from 8 years ago wont remove lugnuts and it's not that big of a deal. I've gotten very quick at breaking them all loose with a breaker bar then just come in with my underpowered 8 year old dewalt. I've done some comparing and apparently the new 12v you can buy in 2022 is similar in power to my 8 year old dewaltI'm sure the 12v battery wont last nearly as long between charges tho, my 18v lasts for quite a while which is nice! and for $125...... yeah I would recommend. dont be such a tool supremacist. Plus electric tools are not BIFL so it's hard to justify buying some of the best when they break in 10 years
>>25754850You ever use the claw ones? Way more useful at getting tight filters in shitty spots, especially on the end of a long handle flex head ratchet. I end up using the claw to loosen shit up and then grab the filter with the pliers if I don’t want the filter to splash in the pan.>>25755010I use my 18V blower way more than the gas one. Real nice for getting leaves and dust out of the garage or blowing sawdust away if I’m working with wood.>>25755188Those old NiCd DeWalts don’t compare to the new shit. And it’s not really about battery life with impacts, the main issue is the current, so you don’t want to use small packs on a bigger impact if you want power. The new DeWalt power stack packs are for that exact issue, lower capacity @ 1.7Ah but they can put out current like a 5.0Ah pack, and you can do pretty much any automotive job with the 1.7Ah pack on an impact since it’s internittent use. And if you’re talking about a 3-cell pack like a 2.0Ah 12V pack, those put out even less current.
>>25755188>don’t be such a tool supremacistWhen something is that much better and you rarely have to touch a breaker bar or 1/2” ratchet, it’s not really a supremacist thing to say the $150 investment on a mid torque w/battery that can do 500lbs of torque is a good buy for weekend warriors, even if it’s outdated in 10 years.I can’t fucking stand cracking lug nuts loose in the ground before jacking the car up. I have the high torque in my car most of the time and have used it multple times on flat tires.
>>25753518What the fuck are you doing to make multimeters explode dumbass?
>>25755409This, especially on 12V, that’s impressive.Although Harbor Freight’s quality control is notoriously awful. I would never go near 240V with one of those free meters, but have used like half a dozen different free HF meters over the years on 12V and was never able to make one explode without trying to hook the leads between the starter and battery and cranking the starter.
>>25753974i love torquing up bolts with my dremel

>>25750996It’s not pictured, but an air impact wrench, because of pic related. If those bastards had just moved the radiator an inch forward…
>>25755579Most cars you have pull the radiator to get to the crank pulley anyways. Just because you're too fucking lazy to pull it isn't Kobolts fault.
>>25755586It’s not the fault of the wrench at all, but it’s one of those situations where you go >DAMN MAN ALMOST>SHIIEEEEEET

>>25755685damn i'll pray for ur impact. yeah I dunno if rice does absorb coolant... rly makes u think
>>25755567Ryobi, Ridgid, and Kobalt will all sell you a brushless one on the higher end of the mid-torques for ~$150 with a 4.0Ah battery and charger for like 9 months out of the year. Pic related is the first deal I clicked on. DeWalt’s high torque 1/2” was $199 with a battery and charger all through the holiday season.If you wanted to do something smaller, DeWalt Atomic stuff is super cheap, the drill + impact driver 2 tool kit plus 2 batteries for <$200, and the impact driver and battery for like $99, that brushless 20V impact driver with a socket adapter will do the work of a 3/8” brushed 12V impact wrench, plus it can drive screws and uses a more sensible battery, a better buy in every way.$150 for two smaller 12V batteries and the previous gen impact wrench isn’t a steal or anything, and 12V as the first cordless platform is just a poor decision.>>25755649>VWIt probably runs better now
>>25755685I wonder if they have moisture detectors. How old is it? Home Depot is pretty lenient on returns and exchanges.Although the tools themselves might be fine with moisture if you didn’t run it wet. The battery would be the main concern. Otherwise a lot of the electronics are fuckin covered with this plastic-resin stuff in power tools to keep them protected from dust and vibration. Battery boards are like that too if nothing got shorted.>>25755567Here’s another sale that was popping up for like 2mos a bunch. We’re between Father’s Day/ Ryobi Days and the Labor Day sales, give it a couple weeks and everybody will have sales. And there’s huge sales from late October thru February too
>>25755409Checking 120 VAC which it's rated to, faggot. It's a defective piece a shit.
>>25755637I work with a meter every day of my life. Those are the only ones that have ever shorted out taking voltage measurements.
Haven't bought one yet but I feel like if you're someone with a genuine interest in cars you need a timing light.
>>25756026>>25756030There was some dude on Youtube I watched do a teardown of some Fluke knockoff and other meters. It’s amazing how shitty the design of the cheap ones can be, you end up with the N or GND and 120V+ or whatever running on a circuit board like a fraction of a millimeter away from eachother, and shitty Chinese child soldering skills will either cause a short or make them so close that anything above a 9V battery will jump the gap and short them out. This is assuming you’re not an retard who doesn’t know which hole to put the probes in.
>>25755634in my case i only remembered the starter bump when the head was off the engine kek. thankfully i founs youtube videos showing how to wrap an old v belt around the crank and one of the accessory pulleys so i could break it loose with a cheater bar
>>25756073That's always what I assumed happened too. I work as an industrial electrician so I'm definitely comfortable with a meter.
>>25756043i had one, a pretty good one that could also check dwell angle and all that for 20 bucks off a boomer, unfortunately i cranked the engine after a head gasket job and the bucking was enough to cause the shitty old hood struts to collapse and smash my timing light to bits
Help bros I'm on a date with this girl at chili's but I didn't know what to do to impress her so I brought all my tools but she's not impressed.What do I do she looks so bored guys I really don't want to fuck this up, she's cool normally.

>>25756026>120VAC>"blow up"lol bullshitThey're fused. Either they stop working immediately or you're too fucking stupid to realize the device in your hand is heating up/smoking. Pay attention to where you're sticking your probes.I got a meter just like the cheap one at HF and I've never had this issue in the years using it.
>>25755634>>25756540repeating what another anon said4 wat purpose?

>>25756882guys I have a reddit addiction how do i stop? no cap fr fr
>>25756789I don’t think those $5 meters are fused. Or not something you could replace. They don’t have a 10A fused slot for current readings like other meters, although they might be able to handle <500mA readings. The problem comes with really shitty design, soldering, and zero QC which is typical for cheap Harbor Freight stuff. Leave a tiny extra glob of solder or don’t trim a thru-hole component enough, and the 120V coming in one side of the meter and the N or GND coming through the other side get so close that it will jump the air gap from shitty solder glob to another component and short out inside the meter. See >>25756073 I should find the YT video, it was real interesting to see how important design of the board and everything is when you have electricity running through the palm of your hand. Shitty meters can be so close to shorting out all the time.>>25756102>12VThere’s your problem.
>>25756086Here’s another aspect, HF has multiple SKUs or item #s for the same product for different generations. Lots of the shitty stuff, every year or two they make it slightly worse and cheaper to assemble while appearing the same.https://youtu.be/d75uoCu69WYAround 40:00 he’s taking the meter apart, I think this was a 2016 video. That one still has a real fuse. Pic related is a meter from a couple years after that, and I remember opening up one after that and there were no screws holding the main board in, everything was secured by the clamshell. I always throw the things out but I wish I had like 5 meters over the course of 10 years to lay out. I did it with 3 of those free blue magnetic lights and each one of them had a lower parts count than the rest, the final one didn’t even have resistors for the LEDs, they probably don’t expect it to survive long if you put Duracells in there instead of the cheapest possible Chinese batteries.

Its cheap for what it is
>>25757883>60% the powahhhIt’s my mission to save ignorant anons from wasting money on a lower power specialty compact tool when they’re looking for an impact wrench to remove lug nuts and rusty suspension parts. So many people fall for the 12V because it’s too tempting to get Milwaukee for $99, but there’s a big difference when you start drilling through metal or cutting tough stuff or need to bust loose big nuts that are rusted to the stud.12V is great for its intended purpose, getting in tight spots where high power isn’t essential, but it will really slow you down if those are the only power tools you own, and you will never be able to use those batteries on a circular saw or grinder or a bunch of other often used tools.

Not bought, but I built a test light. It's basicly a long wire with a largeish alligator clip from an old battey charger in one end, a T4W bulb+socket in the middle and a rolled spring cotter pin in the other end. Inside the pin, there is a regular sheet metal screw that is bent 90° and sharpened.Perfect for checking fuses, testing if connectors get voltage etc. Having a wire at both ends of the bulb means you can fit that in really tight spaces and still have the bulb somewhere where you can clearly see it. The alligator clip side wire is long enough, that you can just hook it to battery + and go somewhere under dash/front seats to check if a ground wire actually is connected to ground.
>>25761205>cheap>mitutoyoah shit I meant to say calipers no micrometer. These fuckers in picrel. Passable for a hobbyist just allow you to measure things a ruler can't.

>>25766348Nothing except math is hard and being able to do metric and standard is nice for a beginner hobbyist. Also dial seems like it would be more expensive
>>25766348Dial is crap because the mechanism is too fragile. Get vernier calipers. They are really not hard to read at all and are impossible to break unless you physically bend the metal.

Milwaukee’s stubbies have been out for years and have been beating DeWalt, but DeWalt finally released their 2nd gen brushless stuff and a couple models edge out similar Milwaukees. But Milwaukee will probably release something new within a year that will beat the DeWalt for the next 5 years.
>>25768797Figured it out. The 2854 is a little bit smaller with a little less tork, the 2960 is a little larger with more torks.DeWalt had better sales, but Milwaukee still has better mechanic stuff. Right now is the first time in years that DeWalt has a slight edge in power over similar Milwaukee, but Milwaukee releases new tools faster so it won’t last long.
I know the big boys will shit on me for this but I am quite impressed with the newer Ryobi HP stuff, I have the 1/2 impact and it's yet to find a lug nut or suspension bolt it can't knock loose (though I only work on vans in yurop) and for the 90 odd euro it cost (with a 3Ah battery) I'm more than happy.
>>25771406The brushless HP? That’s real cheap for that one, especially in Yurop. If it’s the brushed last gen one, the new one is a huge step up.The brushless mid-torks are great. They cover most passenger car /o/ stuff, especially if you’re not in some rust belt salty winter place. And they’re getting small, like the size of a cordless drill.
things i need rn, can someone rec me ones without breaking the bank?>torque wrench>air compressor>bead breaker>tire ironsbabbys first tire change
>>25771545Yeah brushless, it was off ebay before they were officially released here so it's a Murrican import. I love it, it's a cracking impact.
>>25766241Why not?It's a quicker way to check if you have power to some wire, because instant light response and you don't even have look at the light to see that it glows.Also circuits that are not under load can read 12V with a multimeter, which can lead you onto wrong tracks in diagnostics, if there still is a bad connection somewhere. In this case the voltage will drop 0V when you actually attach some load on the wire.
Picked up this thing from Lowes for $40 to use with my 1/4" driver. Figured just having the 90-degree angle adaptor was worth it.
