Don't know if folks on here watch the Torque Channel on You Tube but I do and love it. They did a review, and they are completely independent, of Amazon impact wrenches and the brand SeeSii always hold its own or performs better than Milwaukee, or DeWalt. Amazon has a SeeSii 900NM, 675ftlbs. with a 4 amp battery, fast charger, carrying case and five impact sockets for 94 dollars and then they have a coupon that gives you 20 more off. I am ordering one even though I already have 2 other impact wrenches. I am ordering one becaused I watched this tool out perform both DeWalt and Milwaukee for less than 30% of the price. It also comes with a 3 yr warranty. 665ftlbs, which is accurate will loosen anything I will ever fool with. Both my other impact wrenches will be relegated for drilling and light work. 74 dollars for a really powerful wrench is an incredible deal. On our farm we have used a Milwaukee impact for years and it has lasted well but now I have switched allegiance over money. The other benefit is that like most Chinese tools they are compatible with Makita batteries. The problem is while they make grinders, ratchet wrenches and blowers, they don't make grease guns or saws so it necessitates owning 2 sets of batteries, Milwaukee and Makita. Again yall should check out the Torque Channel if you are a tool nut, great scientific equipment and an independent lab, that, while biased against anything Chinese made presents empirical data that is beyond any biases.

I have yellow tools ,but found a red framing nailer and a box of nails for the price of the nails .I bought the adapter and use my yellow batteries with the framer and just recently a red Brad nailer .Works perfect ,although the adapter adds a little size ,they make them for all the major brands so you can mix and match platforms if that interests you .The adapter was about $20.00 or so .

Because I can't act my age; I went skating last night and didn't die, I picked up a used pair of K2 inline skates at Play It Again Sports for around $55. I wanted to trade in my 1995 Roces Amsterdam inlines but, and I quote, "Man, these are nice but they're too old for us to buy from you."
![]() My Roces have nicer wheels than the K2s but the K2s have better wheel bearings, so there will be some swapping before the next rink night.

No need for pix -- I ordered an NGK iridium plug and a Nibbi performance coil for my 150cc clone of the Honda Navi (sold, at least in my area, as the Italica 150 Bulldog, but made by Zhilong).
Got the bike on Wednesday and I'm approaching the 300-mile oil and gear oil change mark. Then I'm going to start replacing parts -- plug and coil first, then air filter and exhaust, then clutch and variator, then carburetor. It hits 57mph (listed top speed is 55), feels like it's happiest cruising at 45-47. I want to get that cruising "sweet spot" up to 55. |

Added bonus is there's a USB port on it so I also use those batteries + adapter to keep my phone charged and run some led lighting when I'm out moto camping

Will def be checking these out. From the looks of the pricing on Amazon they are cheap enough to not worry about leaving them in a tool box in my truck.

Two scores this weekend. Auction loot: a big kit of SAE and metric heli-coils. More than I will EVER use so I took it to work. Guys there I think are trying to strip out a bolt hole just to test it. No name brand at all. Don't care it was seven dollars.
![]() Dragging along behind the wife at a flea market and saw carbs on a table. This was ten bucks. Couldn't resist. A Keihin knockoff looks like, WITH an accelerator pump. I really doubt it will jam into my Templar X but it would be nice. Years ago I bought a Suzuki without a pump on the carb. My buddy bought the exact same one a year later but Suzuki added an accelerator pump. So we had at it one day. Every time we shifted gears he jumped a little bit more ahead. Over and over. Never forgot that and have been big on such pumps ever since. On my to-do list to at least try and jam it in there someday. ![]()
