    Nice add, need one of those myself! Seen your HF mag strips on your box cart and remembered I had added these, they are almost the exact span of the two bolts. I added one to each side, good for the long extensions and for that quick needed pry bar. They also work fairly well for a socket...

    In case somebody is interested in one of these, another option I found when searching and that is a bit more reasonable(~15$) then the wrenches @MRRSM and I are using for the 1/2 unit is a wrench for rear axle of the old VW bus that is 46mm and uses a breaker bar. I have one of these buried...

    Wow, I thought my wrench was big that should have NO issue with countering anything you throw at it! 8^)

    Torque multiplication - via cheater bar

    I will be curious your projects and experience with it 8^) I didn't like the sheet metal reaction arm so I found a Snap-On box end torque adapter cheap on eBay($15) to use with a extension pipe for a reaction bar. It is 1-13/16 or 46mm, not sure if the 3/8 is the same.

    Thank you, it works ok for a budget home setup. I had a Snap-On 60" KRL series box w/side cabinets for a work box but but had to leave it behind on a move. It had suspension casters and a tow hitch 8^) It actually is an old addition a couple years ago. Bulky heavy stuff is in work bench storage...

    A little late and I know you veered away after seeing the price, I wouldn't doubt it doubles the space and in less room. It does hang like a regular side box from either side. You can find it cheaper and there is the 25% coupon currently going on 8^) And a couple cause I tidied it up some...

    Torque multiplication - via cheater bar

    I got a Proto Torque Multiplier (J6202) 1/2 in 3/4 out capable of 700lbs off eBay for cheap, if your not in a hurry you can pick them up reasonable, they are a little expensive new for something not used often. Used it on BMW rebuild for the front crank bolt @ ~325 lbs I also got a smaller...

    Now you need the side box for the other side, I have one for mine and it works great. I don't wheel it around that much as I have a bit of a steep driveway and it would probably run away with as much as I have it loaded down 8^)

    To add to this, I have old Snap-On 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets and wanted to replace them. I spent a lot of time researching and had a hard time justifying but went with the 3/8 Fuel version of the Milwaukee and it is a great unit. I have used it a LOT and has performed well and battery life has been...

    So I went to use this the other night and it was acting all wacky, it would turn on if I held the button but go out when I let go and not come one at all and was heading over to return it and I found the butt cap slightly loose, tightened it up and all good again. Maybe give the spring a little...

    Wow that is disappointing, I had high hopes for using this for under dash work and getting it up in those tight dark spots. I hope it was just a bad one, HF is really good about exchanging out. What is it with cell based flashlights and flickering, that drives me crazy. I have had them do it on...

    What did you do to your GMT today?

    JB Weld has a plastic version of an epoxy putty, maybe that as a backup would help hold https://www.jbweld.com/collections/all/products/plasticweld-epoxy-putty

    Project Thermostat

    Another quick update to this project, I delayed installing the 205 as I had another long trip planned and wanted to make sure I had no unwelcome surprises. I did a 1k round trip to San Francisco and all went well. I put the 205 in a couple weeks ago and is working well and holds @ a better...
