some people buy them and they last for years and then some people get them and break them the next week... i think it kinda depends on how much you use them and how hard you are on your tools... if you are gonna be using an impact wrench everyday then you should probably spend a little extra money and gettin a better one... but if you are only gonna be using it once in a blue moon then the HF ones should last you a while...

 

They are until they break.

 

Excellent feedback. Thanks gents.

 

I but some things form there because I know I will not use it all that much but it will get the job done. If you were to use it everyday then I would say no, but for general things yes. The key is to make sure that you are lubing the tools when you are using them, that will make them last longer.

It is a great place to get inexpensive malletts, electrical tape and all sorts of stuff.

Try looking at Costso too, around this time of year they have a set of air tools by a name brand maker that is fairly inexpensive and should start you on your way to having a well stocked garage.

 

Since we're talking about tools...is there a special type of pliers that are made to remove the hose clamps that are on the SAI hoses? I was reluctant to use my favorite lineman pliers on them for fear I'd damage them to the point of replacement.
