Thank you very much. I'll get them lubed up.

I bought one SK 1/2" drive Extra long 10mm hex bit socket on Zoro. The quality is impressive. there's no hole or no roll pin or no set screws. It's Pressed in and the hex bit looks like some high-quality Hardened Steel. It has a gray color. Not just a Black Bhondus Shaft like Armstrong uses...

I'll know for myself in a few hours. A fellow owner said none; Google research says 2. Come on 7:30!

Working right now (on break) was just wondering about grease fittings because I do hear some type of squeak when I turn my steering and I'm not moving or if I'm moving very little. It's not a high pitch squeak so I'm not sure if it might just be the humming of the power steering Maybe? That is a...

I'm in the market for one now, my CH is 10 psi off. Used my dad's Blue Point today; he bought it from a Snap-On Truck 40 years ago. I wish he'd give it to me, since he has digital now. It's in excellent condition too. But it has sentimental value to him. I didn't really ask him for it; but I...

I am going off things I heard and read about years ago; things change; myths debunked, better powder; I really only use the copper cleaning stuff after 3 days of prairie doggin'; other than that; I don't shoot, just to be shooting; not if my rigs are tuned in. Now in my youth; rounds we're...

My cousin is collecting a bunch of USA Craftsman tools. I got a 16pc 3/4 drive ratchet set unused, made in USA from him for $150; thought that was pretty decent deal. I guess the way he talks, Craftsman will eventually be all overseas, he said Western Forge dropped Craftsman over some money...

Was just reading the posts on running dirty! LoL! My drill instructor stuck his finger in my chamber with a white glove!! It took me several tries; he was about to thrash me on the quarterdeck over it. There's two kinds of people in the world. Those who maintain Equipment, and those who run it...

I was at Walmart today and noticed hoppe's boresnake prices have been rolled back; $9.94 for regular; $12.90-ish for Viper. I really like the Otis cables for pulling patches through. With one of the best solvents of all time; shooter's choice MC#7(so good it cleans Muzzleloader crud rings with...

A local industrial supply store had a decent "remaining" Armstrong inventory. I was able to score 1/2" drive extra long hex bit sockets in 6mm to 17mm. I am not worried about 19mm as a bolt that big should just use hex key and cheater bar. I like the extra long because you have plenty of length...

Yeah I have not used any other aircat impacts besides the 1200 k. But it's very impressive. It has broken bolts before but I'm convinced nine times out of 10 the bolts are already in a weakened state. It's definitely too much for bolts under 12mm; even on the lowest setting. but it shines on...

Who makes a better product in HEX bit sockets between Proto Challenger and Armstrong? I'm going to pick up 3/8 Drive in 6 mm and 8 mm so I can use with my 3/8 Drive T handle. I will over tighten them with my half-inch drive too easily. As the half inch Drive is 13 inch long T handle and the 3/8...

That's it.... I'm sold. Snap-on it is

I have a bad habit of ordering a new tool and then I think it's so nice I don't want to use it!

I really appreciate the replies. The wiha hex keys I mentioned above are made in Germany same outfit that makes Heyco and possibly others. I vote they are the best allen style wrenches. We were issued them but I also grab allenbrand hex keys and use them and they round off so quickly while the...
