I don't put chrome on an impact gun, but I don't impact anything under 1/2" drive. So my 1/4" and 3/8" drives are chrome with ratchets. My 1/2", 3/4", and 1" drives are impact.

Depends on the job.. Mostly boils down too what I’m hitting, how hard I need to hit it, and how much space I have to swing. For example if I’m taking off rotors and they are seized to the hub. Replacing rotor? Mini sledge or metal face dead low.. not replacing? Soft faced dead blow but big. Taking rim off a duely? Biggest hammer I can grab and swing without smashing the bed up. Need to tap out stubborn cotter pin? Smallest metal hammer in the box. Replacing brakes and the caliper bracket scaled Over with slag? Small chipping hammer. sadly there is need for a lot of different hammers if you repair a lot of things..

I would add, if you're young: buy a lifetime warranty hammer set. I bought mine at 18 and have warrantied out those hammers over the past 20 years. Well worth it to me. Those hammers are useful for all kinds of things, not just car stuff!

Was your gearwrench rep a Cornwell guy before? Seems like cornwell reps are a dying breed. Just lost mine after I bought over 2k in tools... I am a diyer at home. If money wasn’t an option would you just stick to snap-on? I’m think of just going to and sticking to gearwrench. I know your trying to make Craftsman Great again, but I’m not sold yet. My OCD makes me want to stick with one brand and have uniformity. Worth the headache or just buy whatever?
@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway
@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway 5 лет назад
squeaky61 Yes used to be a couple more reps before switching to Gearwrench. No I will never stick to just one name brand. I never know what’s gonna break or how often it’s going to break. Honestly I prefer purchasing tools from big box stores rather than buying from the tool truck. I don’t mind ordering Tools occasionally online but again not my go to place for buying tools. But if you have OCD then me telling you to buy a little bit of everything isn’t gonna help you especially since you like uniformity. You like what you like nothing wrong that. Cheers! 🍻👍

Nice info... would you get the Mil M12 stubby or the new 2960 mid torque for diy tires, suspension and engine work? 3/4 or 1/2? Thanks
@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway
@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway 3 года назад
If I was only looking at Milwaukee I would Tell you that each are beneficial for different reasons. The Stubby fits in tight spots, the Mid Torque has more Umph.. & the Half inch is a beast. That being said it also depends on the fastener. Rusted? Stripped? Metal deterioration? Milwaukee is impressive. They also are not without flaws. Mostly battery issues that could be resolved if they put a little more time and effort into it. That costs time, money & frankly that might make the tool price go up. Soooo... hard to say what your needs are without observing the type of work you do, but I think you'll be satisfied for the next 12 months. If it's mainly DIY you may get a few years without any issue. You may never have an issue at all. I played around with the Milwaukee line for about 3 years and went a different direction. Thanks for the Question. Cheers!

I started with all chrome then bought the impacts as I needed them. I still have most of my first set of impacts, Ingersoll Rand full(short/long/sae/metric) 6 point 3/8 & 1/2 with some skips. The only complaint I have with them is the sizing is only painted on and wears off with use. They are just as thin as GP Duo's and i have never broke one with professional use. I have & prefer Matco's ADV 1/4 impacts & they get pushed to their limits every day.

Not sure if you’re checking the comments on a video this old anymore, but I’d appreciate advice from anyone that wants to help out. I have a question about impact driver bits. I’m a DIYer, just work on my own stuff. So it’s all pretty random and doesn’t see a ton of use. Anyway, I am thinking about getting a drill/impact driver combination kit. And I’m wondering, for the impact driver, will all the bits that I have in my mechanics tool set that I got work? I recently got a good deal on a craftsman mechanic set that came with a bunch of driver bits. Screwdriver heads, star heads, hex heads, etc. Can I use those with an impact driver? Or will I need to get actual impact driver bits?

When I was lube tech I had some harbor freight impact sockets and the other guy bought some snap on ones. Mine lasted 2 years and still going, he’s had to replace his like 3 time in 1 year. I noticed snap on are way thinner than the harbor freight. Which I guess in some cases you’d want a thicker socket especially if all you’re doing is tires all day and they’re getting used all day but I can also see why you’d need a thin one because I’ve ran into times where s thinner impact socket was necessary.

The Chicago Pneumatic .498 air hammer is superior to the Astro one. I've seen them side by side at the shop, and the CP one seems to hit a little bit harder. But they're both killer.

I totally appreciate your thinking regarding impact sockets. I can tell you are a very competent mechanic. Just a heads up - if that special other asks you a question, keep the answer under 60 seconds.

Excellent assessment Mr dow. I was going to waste my time and say I've already had this argument with heavy truck technicians, they usually say you only need impacts for big and heavy. My argument is if you think that you've never done interior work where clearance is everything.... Thanks for sharing!
@dq7143
@dq7143 3 года назад
Agree about the clearance consideration. Seems to me that the bigger question is whether I want my power tool to take the greater impact - or my socket.

Another example where clearance is going be a matter of whether you get it apart or not,farm machinery

Are those blue handle pliers on the truck channellock? I always thought they looked decent but whenever I see them they're in a package so you can't get a feel for them
