Quote HistoryQuoted: The 24V Ratchet has been a godsend. Not an impact but it works as a breaker bar and 50 lbs of drive torque with the Kobalt that I got. Under the hood the length is actually of some benefit. Working under the dash it's restrictive.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfLIqZ-eb4AFor just under $300 you can get a 24v 1/2” Impact and that from Lowes https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-XTR-24-Volt-Max-1-2-in-Drive-Cordless-Impact-Wrench-1-Battery-Included/1002274076 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This might be the winner! I've used the attachment a few times. The reason I bought it was because I was installing a box at my church. After trying for damn near an hour to cut through the drywall I realized there was something behind it. Turns out they built the church with Masonite walls that were then drywalled. What a nightmare! That's what prompted me to get the cutoff saw and box attachment. It cut through both the drywall and Masonite like butter. Here's the drywall cut out showing the Masonite walls. It makes a perfectly square cut.  Attached File |

These are awesome. Super lo-pro and have a hex on them so you can use a wrench on them when a ratchet takes up too much room. Pretty affordable too, I got SAE and metric in both 3/8 and 1/2 drive for about $130. Lifetime warranty.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Impact driver was a game changer for me. My laser thermometer is super handy as well. I use it a lot more often than I thought I would. I bought one, mainly for kitchen use, but I've used it for a few other things as well. It was handy when troubleshooting an HVAC zoning issue. If I wanted to know if hot/cold air was coming out of a vent 10-12 feet up the wall, it was a heck of a lot faster and easier than using a stepladder. My dad even borrowed it to track down a problem in his truck's diesel engine. I don't recall the details, but there was a firing issue, and a thermometer pointed him to which side or cylinder had the problem. It was a tip he'd seen in a YouTube video, and he said it worked great. |

 Attached FileAircraft Skin Wedges. They are great for removing trim or those plastic push rivets on cars. Anything you would jam a screwdriver into to pry up these do it way better. They are about as long as a standard pen so they can fit in a lot of cramped places and I haven't been able to bend one yet. |

You can certainly get creative with a surface grinder, but fixturing gets to be a pain for anything complex and if you buy an off the shelf fixture for cutter grinding, it costs more than a D bit grinder. |

Angle drill, electric cut off tool, hand band sander, nifty slim line ratchet, those composite ratchets. I bought all that before the China hiv. |

Bosch Go 2 electric screwdriver, I always thought electric screwdrivers were useless gimmicks that were too powerful for delicate work but too weak for everything else I'd use it for but saw it tested on Project Farm and decided to give it a shot for work. It's perfect for working on PLC panels, the chuck keeps it gentle enough not to fuck up terminal blocks yet still properly tighten them and on the max settings it can handle hose and push pole clamps. Catch a lot of shit for using it tho

It is made by Horror Freight, but is a quality one that much better? Mine was busily sucking at trying to cut some laminate counter top this week as I installed a new sink. Was debating about going with the Dremel Ultra Saw to replace it. @JAG2955 Ditch the HF blades and get a set of high quality DeWalts like these. Total game changer! |
