Oh, sure, purely mechanical and totally reliable.

What kind of modern rallyist are you?


(This is what I actually use, so neener.)

What more could you want really?
If you use the right studs* with some anti-seize on them and a decent jack--lubed all to hell, just what the fuck is the point of these electric maybe they work but maybe they don't electric things which cost 60 times what the lug wrench costs?

I mean din't you say you have a Finnish sweetie?
It's not like you are a (in the eye's of the Finns) a typical Swede, is it?

Well if you're like the Finns think the Swedes all are, then I can understand all this "I want a 'lectric toy cause... (sniffle) it's too hard.....(whaaaaa!)

Seems a big escalation in cost and weight and danger.....for imitating the cars that are so light they can do crap like this in lieu of ballast...

So, are you a Swede?

Scott has everything Snap On. I like the 3/8 Snap On cordless impact but the 1/2" one he has I don't like as much as I did my Harbor Freight. Speaking of, need to try to find a new battery for my almost 10 year old one that has been ran over, dropped in mud, banged around in rally cars, etc. Battery final gave up last October.

Hey Grant, If you can find a local interstate batteries distributor they can reload them for about $50 each. I had 5 snap-on 18v's rebuilt recently, 18 month warranty too.

Just to put it out there, I have a brand new Dewalt 18 V 1/2 inch rattle gun, never used, don't have the batterys, $50 anyone?

Lithium batteries? Or Nicad?

This is the point in the killing spree when you really should turn the gun on yourself

I will buy that impact.
I've been needing an excuse to buy an 18 Volt Dewalt sawsall.
I used one a while back, and it's on par with my corded tigersaw.

Back on topic,
Harbor frieght's hand tools have been improving greatly lately, as they have been working with some of the major makers.
Agreed what others have said for junk'n, occasional use, and hobbyists a decent second string is the way to go.
