oh400ex 629 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Hey all, I had to semi-retire my IR air impact after it failed to remove a large nut the other day. Ended up going for a display unit at the big box hardware store and I am really pleased with it. I ran red tools for work but personally prefer the green/blue one. Any brand of the 18v tools will outperform most air tools we are used to using and are just so convenient. Expensive tool but very powerful and very useful. oh400ex Edited August 23, 2020 by oh400ex 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 6,846 Posted November 16, 2020 I use a brush like that to wash the tiles in the shower. Spray on some "Kaboom", let it soak for a few mins, and then get after it with the brush on my drill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's perfectly fine to share unless you are infringing on someone's patent or you intend to apply for your own patent. I think it's grand to see what solutions to a problem others have found. For me it's continuing education. Someday I'll post pics my bead breaker. It's Honda special tool # OU812.😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chevymec 488 Posted December 18, 2020 I have a ton of Dewalt cordless stuff and it makes working in the woods great. My Skill saw is probably my most valuable to have. If you plan on doing a lot of work on vehicles, get the Milwaukee stuff. I have a Makita 1/2 impact and it does better than my IR air gun. I bought it before the Milwaukee stuff hit the market. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the strongest one I seen in 1/2" drive, I know they sell them with larger amp batteries than the one i got. And the $199 is a sale price it's regularly like $319.00 I picked up a used 18 volt 1/4" driver and sawzall for $40 no batteries. I have a few 20 volt batteries so I bought one of the adapters of eBay for like $10. Both work great, and the price was right. I had a old 14.4 volt drill, but burnt the clutch out of it, installing the e-track on my trailer. Wondering if your Dewalt buddy knows if they sell a kit to replace the clutch?
