New Tool Day
- Thread starter WVJeep304
- Start date
Someone on the RV forum said it saved them over $1,000 removing the power steering pump from a Cummins in a Freightliner chassis where 4 bolts face the firewall less than 2" away.
Picked up one of these a few weeks ago and it's become my primary tool to use around the house. Now I grab one tool that can perform multiple jobs. Two things I especially like is the ergonomics, it feels balanced and perfect in my hand, and that you can control the torque settings when using it as a impact driver.
Also, if someone is considering one of these, you get a free XC5 battery when you order it online.

I have had that tool in my cart a few times and every time I decide against it because the forward/reverse is on top rather than near the trigger. I have just about every other M12/18 tool out there, at least the mainstream ones.
Had the same complaint originally. Now that I've been using it, I can one-handed flip it and switch between forward and reverse easily, using my thumb.

pretty cool, never seen anything like that before
that would've been nice for the valve cover gasket i did on my Ranger a few months ago that was a total pain in the ass
Yep!!!!!
You still going with us on the 21st?? If so I will be sure to bring the rotors and calipers.

roger that sir, thank you - as long as things are ship shape at home I will be there
Got mine on the same sale. With a 2.0 it’s perfect for furniture assembly or replace the hardware on cabinets.
I keep one of those my work trailer - it is very handy
I purchased a version of one of those- the little advertisement made it look indispensable for nearly every mechanical task…..I’ve yet to find a use for it

an FYI might be in order here
if you have older style propane tanks w/ the now out dated valves you can get them refilled @ the bulk stations by telling them you are using it for burning PRICKLY PEAR stickers off the cactus for feeding live stock

dang thats a really specific use case - i'm gonna try it though
I have a buddy that works at a Propane company and he will just swap them out for me, thats the perk of living near a small town!!!
I was bored today so I made myself a new slapper out of an old wood rasp. It worked pretty good but I fucked up and made the handle too small, its still alright though it doesnt feel to bad in your hand.
I just take 20# tanks to the local Dollar General store and then swap it out without checking them. The tanks are only half full so the value is in getting a current bottle which I make sure they are certified for a while. I have a RV place 1/2 mile away from the shop and they fill to the max and it comes out much cheaper per gallon but they check the certification. Funny thing is that I take my 30# tanks that are out dated to a propane dealer 20 miles away. They just give them a quick look over and as long as there is no rust they just stamp them with a new symbol and as long as I fill them there they don’t charge me for the update. I have 14 tanks and at least one is out of date every yr.
Well since it's free bucket weekend with any purchase for HF reward members. Yesterday I got 3/8 SAE deepwell chrome sockets and a bucket, then today I got 3/8 metric deepwell chrome sockets and a free bucket.
Tomorrow will either be micro fiber towels or possibly a $0.49 cent carpenter pencil.
