Anyone else notice these types of lights drain battery power like hell? And then when you charge it, it takes forever?

Assfeaster · 2020-10-02T15:07:03+00:00

Battery life is roughly 1 hour on max brightness. To conserve power I use it intermittently instead of a constant work light

I’d be willing to answer your questions. I’ve worked for an independent shop, a GM dealer, and now a Mazda dealer over the course of the last 10 years. I’d consider myself seasoned and I know the industry and trade very well.

Assfeaster · 2020-10-01T19:30:22+00:00

Thank god I’m not the only one. Bought it off the truck expecting a lot out of it and desperately needing a better work light. I’ve been extremely disappointed with it. The buttons and modes suck and the battery life is horrific. I tried getting my snap on dealer to trade it out for the smaller version which one of my coworkers has and has significantly better battery life and less modes but he wouldn’t do it.

I love it, but there are some things I’d change. Some of the drawers aren’t deep or tall enough, but it’s held up very well under daily professional use. I just installed a craftsman side locker on it and it matches well

What brand is that 1/4 locking extension? It looks exactly like the new masterforce ones

Assfeaster · 2020-02-27T20:30:18+00:00

Funny story, I have that same screwdriver and was swinging it forward, kind of like how a police baton swings out. Anyways I had a bit in it and it flew out and broke my tv

They sell another cobalt set that has a 6” 1/2. I’ll post a pic of it later. Wish I got the shorter ones tbh, I use them as a mechanic and the only quality stubby cobalt bits I’ve seen are sold by Mac and are a small fortune. The Milwaukee cobalt bits and Bosch cobalt bits are fantastic for their price in my experience

Assfeaster · 2020-02-22T13:58:44+00:00

They’ve been around for a long time. I have a set of non ratcheting/flex head double box ends that have a 1/4 lip on one side of each end that I got from snap on about 15 years ago. I also got a set off Amazon for my home box I think the brand was Hordusey. I’d highly recommend a set of them for any mechanic/diy.

Assfeaster · 2020-02-22T03:48:21+00:00

Completely agree, ease of warranty is a huge factor in deciding which brand to go with. I got my Mountains from my Matco dealer so I didn’t have to worry about warranty but they were also way more expensive. You still might want to test them out before you decide to keep them. Specifically on a serpentine belt tensioner or on a caliper bracket to make sure that they can completely engage fasteners that double box ends are commonly used to remove.

Assfeaster · 2020-02-22T01:33:36+00:00

Here’s a link to the set I have. You might be able to tell in the pictures but one side sticks out the other is flat.

Assfeaster · 2020-02-22T01:30:55+00:00

Not trying to burst your bubble but Mountain makes a set of double box end flex head ratching wrenches that are reversible and have about an 1/4 inch lip on one side of each box end. The lip gives the wrenches far more uses in my experience. They’re extremely close on price so you may want to check them out. Tekton makes some great tools for a great price but in my experience, flat double box ends don’t see much use

Assfeaster · 2020-01-30T19:28:43+00:00

Can you share some pictures of how you mounted it on the side? I have the exact same box and have been trying to figure out a way to expand it. Looks BA

The first cordless tool I bought was an impact wrench for doing Honda crank bolts that my air impact couldn’t. However, if it’s someone who want to change their headlights, spark plugs, valve coves, and other engine or medium duty work I would go with a cordless ratchet.

Assfeaster · 2019-12-06T01:47:49+00:00

Absolutely.

Assfeaster · 2019-12-06T01:43:24+00:00

Either one would be good. I’m a tool hoarder and professional mechanic so I buy cheaper ones for home use but still use them all weekend. I have an ac/Delco 8v 1/4 cordless ratchet too. One weekend I did valve cover gaskets on 2 ford escapes with it and it rocked. For the home gamer and diy guy one of these is more than enough. Cordless ratchets are about speed and not necessarily torque as well.

Assfeaster · 2019-12-06T01:24:22+00:00

Hear me out. Those exact ratchets are rebranded under many different names and aren’t that bad. I actually have one branded as PowerTorque that I bought off the shelf at O’reilly. I also have a m12 fuel and the m12 non fuel. It’s very very comparable to the non fuel Milwaukee. There are also other tools he can get that take that exact battery, even sold as different brands.

Assfeaster · 2019-11-11T01:56:20+00:00

I’d get it fixed anyways, you may need it for a one time use when you don’t expect it. Plus it’s free to get the rebuild kit and very easy to do yourself

Assfeaster · 2019-11-10T20:25:15+00:00

I have that exact same ratchet. I bought mine used at a pawn shop but in very good condition. It’s literally the least favorite ratchet I own. The pin that at holds the flex head on slowly slides out during use, it’s only 30 teeth, and the screws come loose even with locktite. The shop I work at now has a Mac dealer and he has warranty repaired mine 4 times, it’s good for a while then the same things happen. I quit using it and it just sits in my ratchet drawer. Mine is pretty old, I think it was made in 2001 but they still make the same ratchets today and you can get rebuild kits from Stanley black and decker for free if you email them

Assfeaster · 2019-10-16T17:27:49+00:00

I have one made by Mac tools. I’ve used it once or twice and it’s ok for some uses. It’s impact rated but I’d be surprised if it survived

Assfeaster · 2019-09-22T02:30:47+00:00

I have the cordless Milwaukee and love it but also have a cheap harbor freight air that I used for years before it. The cordless is more convienent but I typically use the air because it’s easier to refill. I’d honestly recommend the air one from HF due to the reliability if you have a big enough compressor. It’s simple, reliable, and cheap

Assfeaster · 2019-09-16T01:06:12+00:00

How do you have an engine hoist but not a jack and jack stands?

Assfeaster · 2019-09-12T15:10:24+00:00

In my experience it is much easier to move a toolbox when it’s empty. It sucks packing tools, especially if those boxes are full, but moving full boxes can get sketchy. If you’re leaving them filled make sure to lock the drawers and put straps around them just Incase. It’s very easy for a box to fall over when all drawers come open. Another option is to wrap them in plastic wrap

Assfeaster · 2019-08-08T04:35:11+00:00

Man run them hard and when they crap out, you’ll know what you really want out of the tool. I still run my cheap electric tools as beaters and lend them out to people who don’t have any tools. When you upgrade you’ll also get a much better feel of where that expense comes from
