>>2967886
impact is the only answer

>>2967950
Yeah I'm gonna have to get a 1/2"-3/4" adapter because the only socket I've got that fits it is 3/4" drive

>>2967951
Do yourself a favor and get a 3/4" drive impact of you're going to work on equipment much... I picked up a 3/4 Ingersoll rand air impact at an auction for $15. Sucker packs some serious whallop.

>>2967953
Yeah I got one of the corded Bauer 1/2" impacts, it's pretty stout. If it doesn't do the needful, I'll fish around for a 3/4"

>>2967954
Invest in some antisieze while you're at it. Even on a bush hog your bolts shouldn't be that hard to get off.

>>2967909
but... but sandpaper does have sand in it. you can even get sanding cloth made of silica wool. some sanding discs have fiberglass backings. wtf

>>2968044
Cheap horrible sandpaper could have sand still. Anything decent will at the very least have aluminum oxide grit.

breaker? hardly knew her...

>>2968420
granules of metal oxide are often at least the right color and consistency, they are sand-adjacent

and sandpaper being so simple and disposable, why would you ever NOT get the cheap bulk horrible stuff. it's not load bearing

>>2967886
that's a job for an impact gun dude. don't breaker bar what you can brrt first. the intense jiggle action of the impact does more than sheer torque of breaker bar. also, oil helps, even after just a quick break. anything helps.

>>2968534
You ever get sandpaper from dollar tree? It's real bad. Like barely even useable for 30 seconds before all the grit falls off bad. I prefer to spend a bit more for sandpaper. I still don't shill for 3m cubitron stuff or anything insanely expensive like that though.

>>2968576
>You ever get sandpaper from dollar tree? It's real bad. Like barely even useable for 30 seconds before all the grit falls off bad.
is it not supposed to do that because ive had that experience with actual tools bought from actual stores, i thought sandpaper is basically ablative by nature

not really a "tool" but maybe 1 in 10 tubes of rubber cement i ever buy actually work. doesnt matter what brand. it's basically random and the odds are against me. tempted to start patching tires/tubes with fucking flex tape at this point

>>2968651
>is it not supposed to do that

Not to that extreme. Get good quality sand paper with a quality matrix and adhesive (anything wet/dry rated is a good start) and your sanding will begin to suck a lot less.

>>2968940
I don't buy tubes of it, but rather cans with the screw top and applicator brush. I had one can of slime brand rubber cement I bought that was bad as in it still looked good and acted right but the patches wouldn't stick properly. It took a bit to make the connection between it being the glue that was the problem and pissed me off to the extreme before figuring it out. Never again.

Meanwhile at Snap-On.

this was just karmic payback for me constantly buttering shit up with green apple flavor retainer from hell

>>2971092
Every time I have fucked with Chinese assembled pipe fittings it is some grainy nasty looking white shit that comes crumbling out from between the threads. and yeah it's locked real good and heat definitely does help. Also I'm with you on using the green sleeve retainer on shit I absolutely don't want coming apart...

>>2971092
620 fucks. We used to make bit extensions for our CNC router with a 12x1" bar of 01 reamed out to a half inch on the end and just retaining compound holding a router bit in. Put hundreds of hours on those never had one slip, even with a crash so bad it bent the bar at a 30° angle.

>>2967814
Why do you think anyone who knows what they’re doing trashed all their breaker bars and only use ratchets for everything


> but that’s the wrong tool!

Not when harbor freight sells THAT gas a breaker bar the ratchets might stand a chance of holding up

chang needs to tune up his plastic formula for roloc purple nurples a little more. probably 93% regrind and cat toenails
knockoff cleen n strip disc cut good but the fucking nub twisted off the 2nd time i installed it. ill glue the nipple off a used sanding disc on and run it
at under $2/ea vs $10+ from 3m it was worth a try

>>2969072
Last good things snap on can even claim to make are FDX sockets, digital torque wrenches and ratchets. Everything else they make aren't worth shit anymore when most competitors have caught up. If the baseline cost of snap on was 60% less than what it currently is then sure i would invest in their tool lines but now a days their shit isn't really worth it.

>>2977019
>60% less than what it currently
"If only their top of the line brand cost the same as stuff from Home Depot I would buy it!" That is what Blue-Point, Williams, Blackhawk, and Bahco are for. Same tools, some a generation back, without the 'free replacement off the truck' warranty, and for less money. It is like you've never heard of market segmentation or something.

>>2977022
>Same tools, some a generation back
That is true for the williams made in USA ratchets and the Bacho ratchets. Also Blackhawk is stanley black and decker under the proto brand that is just getting the axe this year btw.

But not the same tools across the board the majority of the Bluepoint and Williams line are made in taiwan. I know market segmentation just fine. In Stanley Black and Deckers case they are killing off old lines like Black&Decker, Stanley, Blackhawk and a few others in turn they have MAC, Proto, Dewalt, Craftsman and a few other minor brands in other categories.

>>2977025
>Also Blackhawk is stanley black and decker
Ah, you are correct. I was confusing https://blackhawkcollision.com with them. They don't make hand tools.

>>2977035
No problem i get what you are saying however. The designs for most of snap-on branded stuff are just older designs with their other brands so if you like their wrenches then go for one of the other brands. However its not made in america nor is it up to date designs which can be a factor in some situations/industries. My point is that some of their stuff is just fine but most of it is far to expensive for what it's worth. Also in general across the tool industry we are seeing a consolidation of brands for various reasons but the main one is cost to run multiple lines in multiple factories. If you want MAC stuff they just reprints them in Facom/Proto for the most part. If you want Snap-on then get CAT since those are just reprints of most of the same hand tool lines. Shits just expensive.

>>2967814
Funny enough that thing should have a lifetime replacement warranty. At least mine does

>>2977035
Lol i had no idea. Easy confusion.

>>2973874
Not OP. Duracell have been living off of their name for decades. I've have had better luck with no name discounts not leaking.

>>2977043
They know most people will just buy a new one rather than going through the hassle and runaround of getting a free replacement.

I never leave batteries in devices I don’t use a lot. Of all my electrical testing stuff and laser level and all that, I only leave batteries in my go-bag meter and my most common garage meter so I’ll see the battery low warning before the cells have a chance to explode.
