All that for $199 holy crap, that's a great deal...with all the tools I have, I've probably spent $1999 at least...

The Air Force would spend 19,999.99 for that

Looking to add this to my truck toolbox, I would say it's a pretty good price for what all is included. Be great for when I go to help someone out with their vehicle or need to work on mine or keep it back there for when I go riding and the quad breaks

 

I think that's the set I bought a few years ago.

Is it pretty decent quality? I know craftsman ratchets have gone down hill a bit in quality but for $200 and everything having a lifetime warranty I think I'm gonna pull the trigger and pick it up tonight.

 

I've always had good luck with craftsman and kobalt, no matter what anyone says. I don't use them everyday like a mechanic but I do use em quite often and they've held up

[LongrangeLauber]

I will eventually get one of these as well, have always wanted one and would come in handy a lot at work and if I blow a tire on the trailer or in my truck

Never had much trouble with mine. Broke a few wrenches, but like you said they replaced them. You have good taste in tools my friend lol! I won't buy anything but Ingersoll Rand air tools.

I had one and it started bypassing the air so it wouldn't reach full torque or speed. It probably could have been solved with a rebuild kit if they have em, cause that gun was like $180. I needed an impact so I ran out and got a kobalt one that claims 700 ft-lbs and it only cost me $79. Have had it for a month, no complaints, really powerful. If it lasts me 2 or 3 years I'm fine with that. Other one lasted about 5.5 years.

 

Not bashing Ingersoll Rand, love their air tools, was just hoping that thing would last a little longer. I want the Ingersoll Rand cordless impact bc they have great ratings, supposedly lightest in its class as well as the most torque. Plus it won't break the bank like a snap on gun lol

Is it worth it to raise up the front end when doing an oil change? Or is flat ground good enough?

 

I have enough space to work with without lifting her up.

If you fit, then dont lift. Im too fat to change my oil without lifting

[white1500]

Lol did you fit before when your truck was higher?

Just spent the last 5+ hours vacuuming, shredding, and cleaning my carpet. Hopefully this pricey thingie at least cleans up some of the dirt and crud that's accumulated on the carpets for the last 10-30+ years depending on which carpet it is. It did eat a good amount of my "shag" carpeting though lol. Sad part is I did maybe 1/3 of my old room and just the entrance hallway. Now I know why I bought one of these machines instead of renting it.

 

Also after delivering on Saturdays for the last 22 months for big brown I finally got rained on. Been lucky before where they sent me home or I just had the day off so I didn't get rained on. It's rained on the way out to my first stop and on the way back but today was the first time getting wet. There goes my streak. Almost busted my behind on my last stop too.

I'm very skinny, and it's a tight fit for me on the creeper. Very easy to get burned. Jacking it up helps.

I go in expecting to lose my $10 buy in. I was 2nd, my other buddy bought in again so he was up 8. With what 6 tires is going to cost me in the next few weeks when I get around to it $7 isn't crap.
