The financial benefits of maintaining our own cars

[LordWayback]

I am still looking for a battery powered chisel. I used to use my air powered IR air chisel for all kinds of things.

Air chisel used to be my favorite tool in the garage whether I be fighting a rusty nut or knocking the dirt off something or simply pretending I have a machine gun

This is something on my wish list too. Would love to find one.

I have Milwaukee 1/2" impact, 3/8" pistol grip impact and a 3/8" ratchet. Could not be happier and the quality is obvious. In the scheme of things, they are worth the money in the long run.

Weird flex but you do you man…

Replacement Rockwell has been ordered I’m also considering a old IM5100 snap on impact for my job edit :my last one was amazing until I messed it up during regular maintenance. These things were bought by the US government for $700 each when they were brand new they’re a “snap-on product” if you’re looking for a cheap air ratchet that’ll outlive you if you maintain it this is the one mine was like 30 years old when I got it. MORE: this was pre Boeing acquisition I believe so before the tools went from amazing to just ok rockwell now only makes woodworking stuff they even have history with nasa it’s crazy cool stuff nobody talks about.

I have been using aircat ratchets.
Plastic body, but they are quiet and powerful.
I have one that can do something like 120 ft lbs.

I have had it trap/crush my fingers more than a few times.
It's great for removing bolts that are just a little too stuck for any other air ratchet I have, and if I can't fit an impact in there it's the 'ol finger crusher to the rescue.

They’re dirt cheap now 99% just need a good clean and lube and ready to get back to work

Danmar Cadet 6000 XL is the best automotive tool / equipment I've ever bought. (look lower left of photo)
Forget jacking up and crawling under your vehicles and all that. Just put her on the lift. Makes brakes, suspension work all that stuff FAR easier.
It paid for itself the second or third time I used it.
