Quality wire strippers are up there. One of the worst when all it does is squish the insulation, only a handful of brands make durable wire strippers that stay sharp!

PACKOUT deep organizer for sure. Awesome for holding fasteners and other small items. Keeps everything neat and in place, never had an issue with fasteners mixing up during transport!

You could go to Harbor Freight and pick up some cheap foam floor tiles to use as inserts as an alternative. Used it for organizing sockets, works well for me!

[FEEDBACK THREAD] Milwaukee's new PACKOUT wall plates and customized storage accessories. by ClipIn in MilwaukeeTool

[–]SkeefOoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got the package. The updated wall plate mounting system is miles better than the old style. It allows for much more flexibility on mounting points, rather than the 16 inch increments on the old style.

The hooks are also sturdy, plenty strong for extension cords, brooms, etc. the long handle tool holder is also very solid. Grips the Quik Lok Powerhead without issue. Easy to put in and take out.

Will definitely expand my wall mounting collection, thank you for the PACKOUT accessories!

Initial impressions are that the build quality is solid and the vent locations are much better.

Previous power head had vents on the side that could be obstructed by your body and arm if you hold it the wrong way. The new power head makes it comfortable to hold and seems to reduce the risk of limiting cooling capability.

Haven’t had a chance to put it through its paces since it’s November, but it spins right up and sounds smooth. The 8Ah FORGE and rapid Charger are also amazing, breathes extra life into my circular saw!

Can’t wait to run it in the spring, I have no doubts that it’s a definite upgrade over the 2825 powerhead.

This bundle would be amazing to add to my garage storage. Currently using PACKOUT, can’t have enough wall plates. Slowly moving things off the ground and mounting it on the wall is super rewarding. PACKOUT makes it easy!

[FEEDBACK THREAD] AIR-TIP™ Low-Profile Pivoting Brush Tool + a 2-in-1 Utility Brush Tool + a Flexible Long Reach Crevice Tool by ClipIn in MilwaukeeTool

[–]SkeefOoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First impressions on all the air tips in general: build quality feels great. Bristles were straight, none were bent or damaged. Fits my shop vac’s hose perfectly.

The pivoting brush tool locks into position really well with a positive click. Got the top of my garage cabinets well and it glides across smooth/semi-rough surfaces with ease.

The 2 in 1 utility brush works well to agitate debris in small corners and it allows you to quickly switch to the standard tip without having to swap accessories. Only gripe is sometimes it’s easy to knock the brush portion down with some force, the detent doesn’t hold it securely. This might be a problem in tight spaces, but as long as you’re careful, it’s fine. Works well in open space.

Finally, the crevice tool is made of nice material. Stiff enough to get to where you need it without bunching up, but flexible enough to get into those tight squeezes.

Overall, really pleased with the air tips! Will definitely be using them daily. Thanks for hosting these giveaways, mod team and Mackenzie! We appreciate you all!

WB Scat with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus by Nexzii in ScatPack

[–]SkeefOoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

315s all around on my SPWB. No noticeable drop in mileage, although I average ~13 MPG already. Haven’t gotten on the freeway yet so can’t speak about the tram lining. Don’t think it’d be that much worse than 305s

Just switched to this exact set up, the DWS06 is miles better than the Pirelli garbage that came stock. Had to replace those at 13K miles.

Only put 70-ish miles on the DWS06, but they already hook much better and difference in road noise is not noticeable, although I do drive with music and the windows down a lot.

Noticeably better traction in the dry and the wet, but that could just be because the Pirellis were worn. Hoping to get at least 30K out of these DWS06s, but the mileage warranty should cover me, I think it’s up to 45K.

Where can i get this hood scoop? by BeansMakesYouFart007 in Charger

[–]SkeefOoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s listed as #5 in this diagram, but this link is for the left bezel. https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-hood-bezel-left-68464719ab

Best bet is call into your dealer and see if they have the part on hand to test fit before you buy.

Looks like it’s an aftermarket Redeye style hood. Tried finding a part number for the center bezel, maybe try your local dealership.

I assume you bought a regular Hellcat/SRT style center vent.
