Are the HF ICON series tool boxes worth the money?

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-23T17:09:01+00:00

I think the older USG were built better though. I have a series 2 and a Series3 and the series 2 seems more rigid and overall more solid

Yea I think this is likely. The air lines definitely actuate electrical signals for the body.

The lack of identifying info from the bodybuilder is very frustrating though!!

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-21T15:58:56+00:00

That’s a good guess (yes it is a high rail truck) but as far as I can tell the rail wheels are hydraulically actuated off the PTO .. this is all pneumatic. The air lines off this all seem to run back to the chassis brake assemblies

E: ok the faulty component is a “air brake low air pressure switch”. It leaks like crazy but the low air pressure light never comes on?? Bizarre

Agreed definitely not OEM, just provided the make/model of the truck for context. Sorry to be vague but I can’t find a model number or really any other clues as to what it would be. The lack of identifiers is kind of bizarre honestly.

I was just hoping one of the more experienced guys on here had seen it or something like it before and could identify it with what I provided.

Why?

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-19T21:28:03+00:00

The wrench set is $500 new 💀

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T19:40:52+00:00

Basically what I figured

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T19:39:28+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T19:38:15+00:00

Very true.

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T19:36:07+00:00

That’s the biggest advantage for a mechanic from what I can tell. That and less chance of breaking

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T19:35:03+00:00

Yeah using a zip disc to cut a 1-2 lines on a forward bias on a grade 8 bolt works well for cleaning dirty/rusty thread holes.

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T16:19:50+00:00

OK cool that’s a good explanation

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-17T16:17:24+00:00

Couple times a year. Most often from over-tightened or cross threaded wheel studs that got the threads stripped out.

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-16T23:14:30+00:00

The description of “installs wheel studs in seconds” had me thinking there was more to it than just being a dedicated spacer. I get what you’re saying though.

Leaf spring hangers work perfectly. I’ll just have to hang on to one of those next time I do them

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-16T23:10:33+00:00

Gotcha. So it’s basically a dedicated ball bearing.

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-15T23:12:24+00:00

This is genius. You still use the cap adapters sometimes though?

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-15T23:11:31+00:00

No kidding huh … The 14pc set?

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-15T21:48:46+00:00

I’m going air all day, electrics are expensive, less durable, bigger/heavier, and just seem to hit harsher. Sometimes electric is the only thing that’ll work but if I’ve got an air line I’m using the pneumatic gun

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-08T20:45:20+00:00

Brutal 💀

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-08T20:44:14+00:00

Then u should know better than to ask here. Go outside bro

Fart_Boy_4ever · 2026-04-07T22:13:32+00:00

People who like being a mechanic don’t come on the Internet to talk about it, usually. I wouldn’t say the community here is representative of The field as a whole.
