I am sorry, I did not know the wounds were still so fresh! Well Happy Birthday!

Here is a good rolling chassis that would make a great present and a fun project. Do you still have your trailer? Road trip!

Haha, I did consider Dewalt. However, I heard the battery life of these others was better than the Dewalt and they were about the same price after holiday sales. If you trust Car and Driver for an unbiased opinion, they ranked Bosch as #1. Link

 

Someone punch Kevin, please.

I have nothing left. Today my data logger and Hans leave my possession. I'm keeping my communicator because I plan to still instruct.


Ron, car looks outstanding!!!


Thanks to all for the birthday wishes! Wish y'all were joining us for some karting this afternoon.

 

Thank you all for the possitive comments on Beepbeep!

Happy Brithday, Skip!

I might be in for this afternoon Karting. What time?

 

Probaby start around 1330-1400. I'm leaving for the place in just a few minutes. Allsports in Dulles/Sterling. Probably be there for a couple of hours. then food/drink.

 

I'm just leaving work now so I will probably miss you. I'll try to get there before you live but if not then you all have fun.

 

Definitely Bosch, but you really don't need to spend that much $ to take wheels off (i am assuming that is why you need it)

I agonized over which impact gun to buy, and ended up buying a very lightly used Dewalt on ebay for about $160 with 2 batteries. Its a fantastic tool.

 

I went with Dewalt--me likey yellow

 

I have a DeWalt also.

 

Hitachi

 

Ha it seems like a lot of people like DeWalt. Well, I considered a bunch, including DeWalt and Ingersoll Rand as well, but heard most positives on Bosch and Makita. DeWalt's lithium ion impact wrench with one battery is $360, Makita's is about $350, and Bosch's is $430. I wanted to get a cordless drill as well since I do not have any power tools yet, and Amazon had some great deals on combo packs with impact drivers.

I ended up getting a cordless drill, 1/4" impact driver, 1/2" impact wrench (tool only) and TWO batteries for $360 for Bosch and $370 for Makita...planning to return one of them though.

The main advantages of the Makita is the fact the tool has a 3 year warranty compared to Bosch's 1 year, and what may or may not be handy...Makita sells a car charger.

^I did look at Hitachi too as well as Panasonic. Both seemed nice but the prices were a little high because they didn't have any holiday promotions.

Do you think I could open them and test them and still return the one I prefer least? I am not sure what the general return policy is for tools.
