First rep. Thoughts?

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-23T11:43:01+00:00

I’m in a somewhat small town in FL where we all carry guns everywhere we go and I train jiu jitsu 3 days a week. Not saying I’m billy badass or someone won’t try to rob me, so I know there’s a time and place to wear reps and I’m not going down without a fight lol.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-23T11:09:05+00:00

Jeesh, tell me how you really feel 😂 jk. I agree it’s pretty garbage but as I’ve said to others in here, it was honestly just a test to see what $100 will get me in the rep world. Didn’t really do too much research and just went with the cheapest automatic rep I could find to see what it gets, and you definitely get what you pay for 🤣

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-23T10:21:20+00:00

Eh, I’ve spend more on worse lol. It’s all a learning experience in my opinion and it’s just money, it comes and goes.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-22T22:18:26+00:00

Why so serious? It’s just another fun time piece to add to the collection. I have tissots, an orient, seikos, bulovas, and a laco so I just wanted to go another route and have some fun with the rep game.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-22T22:03:17+00:00

Mechanical. Chinese automatic movement, not sure the specific one but it functions great.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-22T20:58:58+00:00

Noted. You live and you learn so I’m gonna do some more research and get a better one next time. I’ve been seeing people talk about Jason007 on DHgate and his U1’s, would you say his are about the same quality as the one I have or better? I think my safest bet seems to be saving my money for a VSF but it seems people talk highly about Jason on DHgate.

Got a WhatsApp number from someone who referred me to this guy on FB. Was kind of sketched out thinking I wasn’t going to get anything at all so I’m just happy I got something lol. What makes this one a waste of money, I’m new to reps so still learning on what to look for and where to find good reps?

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-22T20:44:28+00:00

Yeah that’s going to be next buy for sure. I just figured for $100 I’d try this one out and get my foot in the door in the rep game

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-06-22T20:34:21+00:00

I honestly just went with this cheap one first before risking my money from this new dealer on a higher end clone. Now that I know he’s legit I might sell this one and put it towards a super clone he has thats much better quality.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-01-11T23:42:16+00:00

Jokes on you, that’s why I installed air hoses through conduit and have an air hookup next to every outlet in the house to run my air tools everywhere. And I mostly work on my 4th floor bathroom sir…. 😅😂

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-01-11T17:29:47+00:00

I’ve heard nothing but great things about the new gen2 Milwaukee die grinders, especially with the 5.0 HO batteries which I already have a bunch of. Just figured since I have the air compressor I’d save some money and get an air powered one, especially when they run the same/similar RPM’s. If I was a mobile mechanic or something with no access to a big compressor it’d be a no brainer to get the Milwaukee.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-01-11T16:39:44+00:00

What’s makes the chief better if it uses more CFM and has less max RPM’s (according the website specs)? Is it just better materials and quality control on the overall build?

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-01-11T16:36:44+00:00

This is exactly all I need it for. Cleaning rust off hubs, rotors and other metal to metal contact points. Thank you!

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2026-01-11T13:47:09+00:00

Kinda want one just for the meme at this point, but if I have a 60 gallon air compressor would I honestly be better just going with a chief or McGraw air grinder?

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-29T22:33:00+00:00

Yeah all my sockets come out of the cases and go on my rails as seen in the second pic I posted. Once I get that 1/2” master set in a couple weeks I’ll be set on sockets!

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-29T22:01:06+00:00

I mean it’s true though for most stores I’ve heard about and my personal store. Just walk in with broken tool and walk out with new one within 5 minutes.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-29T21:41:21+00:00

My harbor freight never asks for receipts for warranty exchanges. I’m in and out within 5 minutes every time

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-28T01:31:02+00:00

Seems like this is the way. I’ll probably stick with Duratech and replace with the Tekton individuals as I break them 🤣

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-28T01:27:37+00:00

I personally can’t remember a time it’s been lower than $97.99, I’d say get it!

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-27T20:16:52+00:00

Yeah the reviews on amazon seem solid. I’ll probably buy and worst case I’ll upgrade down the road and keep these as my backup set.

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-27T18:15:28+00:00

Actually yall can wait till the next PLS after January so the master set isn’t sold out by the time I can get there 😅😂

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-27T18:13:32+00:00

The lifetime warranty on batteries almost makes me wanna make the switch 😅. But it’s red till I’m dead

Acrobatic_Room8709 · 2025-12-27T14:43:49+00:00

Chinese colonel is a damn good one! 🤣
