    Cordless Impact Gun?

    Yeah, thats an expensive drawer. I didnt really look at the more powerful battery stuff until my mechanic friend stopped using air all together due to those SO tools, they swayed me pretty fast when I stopped in and spent the day at work with him. A few guys at the dealer were still on air...

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    Yup, that is the other one, with the 300lb rating. For some reference, Dewalt's first generation LIion was 300ft-lb, and their new one is 400. Essentially the Craftsman is a home-owner quality tool vs a pro-quality tool. Choose the one that meets your needs. I doubt I will ever need the...

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    Nicad vs. Lithium ion batteries. Power quality Now that is not to say that it wont work perfectly for you for many years. But Craftsman also has a newer version with Lithium Ion batteries with 300ft-lb of torque available, looks like the one you linked may be a clearance/sale item. I am...

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    Just a heads up, web site zoro.com is having a 30% off flash sale, and they carry Milwuakee (and many other brands). They are a subsidiary of Grainger, FYI. I have the Milwaukee Fuel 2 piece kit I mentioned some time back, so today I picked up their big impact, the 700ft-lb monster as a bare...

    JEEP TRAIL OFFROAD GPS: What GPS is everyone running?

    How necessary is the separate GPS receiver? Havent tried running the ipad GPS when out of cell service, but that may be a needed item if that is handled with the separate BT receiver.

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    They make a lot of stuff, including regular M18 and Fuel tools. I ignore part numbers and look at the ratings. The one Cozdude bought has a tightening torque rating of 183 pounds, they have several others going up from there, at the 350, 450, 550, and 700+ pound ranges. (all tightening, the...

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    I dont think you would be unhappy with either purchase, they are easily some of the best choices you have in the industry. The Milwaukee was put out to compete with the Ingersoll, And IR certainly has other tools in their line that make it a versatile system as well, especially for mechanical...

    Cordless Impact Gun?

    Performance wise, you will be hard pressed to find a battery tool that beats that IR, the Snap On 1/2", or the Milwuakee Fuel M18 1/2" version. MAC could be thrown in there as well. All will do ~700_ ft-lb of torque for tightening, which is much more than most will use. You will find more Snap...

    What is needed to add a winch?

    Thanks for the info and the battery terminal info! I am just trying to get all the info I will need to changes planned figured out, so I can decide what to do, in what steps. Any risk of using the winch and draining your battery, then shutting off your jeep and not being able to start it again?

    What is needed to add a winch?

    When adding a winch, does one need to change/upgrade batteries, or go to a dual battery setup? Other than a mount (or bumper) to put it on, and the vacuum relocation (if needed), what else needs to be added/done/considered? I see a lot of guys with power switches in the cab for power and...

    Strange whining sound

    So 2 weeks ago we went wheeling out at Bridgeport, about an hour and a half drive from home, highway speeds for almost all of it. I never noticed anything out of the ordinary, and the wife was along so I wasnt cranking the tunes. Also had my dog in the Jeep with us. When out, we went through...

    Wave from Texas

    Hello all. Had a couple XJ's about 10 years ago, and eventually moved to other items. After a recent trip to Wyoming and Montana, the Mrs. and I decided it was time to get back to a Jeep, so my parents snagged my F150, and we picked up an off-lease 2012 JKUR. The desired mod list is getting...
