New Tool Day

I saw a kit for $347 when I click the link.

I think that's the deep and shallow set. 260 for the deep only. Thinking I can probably get away with just deep if I need a 1/2 drive anyways? Not sure if that's gonna be true.

Idk how bad I'll miss the missing sizes in the craftsman set. I do see it's missing the lug nut size for the MR2. Maybe I should just buy once cry one and have a full set of deep sockets in both size types

I only have deep impact in 1/2”. I’m moving towards using 1/2” electric tools now too and less 3/8.

If I need a 3/8 or shallow then I’ll use a ratchet.
 
I am thinking about taking off my cheap-ass pants and just getting these

I have 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 impact deep and shallow.

I use my Dewalt 1/4 impact for 1/4 and 3/8 then if needed check with a torque wrench.

Dewalt 1/2 impact has 4 torque settings with the lowest at 100ftlbs.
 
Cool I think that was the one I have looked at. Brushless 20v. Does it kick ass?

Yes it does. Does all I need here on the Jeep and farm equipment.

If I was still working on big trucks I would probably have Milwaukee because the tool trucks carry them more.

My 1/4 inch impact and drill set are probably 20 years old.

1/4 impact? Cute is it tiny? I have the 20v atomic 3/8 dcf923. I think it is brushless too

Cool... Yeah I am still on the fence on whether I should move to Milwaukee before buying new stuff. Especially now that Ryan mentioned there are battery converters so I can use my DeWalt ones (at least at first)

lBasket, I don't think it was a tool quality problem. Using a 24" breaker bar with a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter is a lot of torque. Tool quality may play a roll, but that's asking a lot of any tool. The fact that you broke two adapters, a socket, and a ratchet is a sign. Read it! :ROFLMAO:
