      Do need something. I always seem to get water into new, electrical places each time I go 4x4ing.
      For something like that,the stanleysets at walmart are a good deal. Or even the autozone set... Think they were $20?

        Broke a wobble head extension at the junkyard today trying to remove a wheel. wasn't using a breaker bar or anything. Probably nut the best extension choice so could have just been me being dumb.

        What impact guns are you guys using from them?

          i've broken a few of these... but only because it's not rated for an air tool which i always use or my little impact gun.

          i've broken a long ratcheting wrench as well but brought it back and they replaced it no questions asked.

            The hose clamp variety pack is something to stay away from. They break before you get them tight!!!

              I replaced my trunk tire iron with their breaker bar and extension. I think it was like 11 bucks for both, and they work great.

                Anyone have experience with their wobble socket extensions? They have a coupon for $2, and I'm tempted.

                  2 bucks for extensions? Buy them and if they suck throw them away.

                    I have them. Not terrible but the "chrome" plating will quickly come off the tips and cause sharp edges.

                        has anyone bought any air compressor hoses that are worth the $?

                        edit: or the hose accessory kits? (http://www.harborfreight.com/17-piec...kit-68236.html)

                              This guy:

                              http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eig...ill-67474.html

                              ....anyone have one? How is it? Really just need it to work once. Also, anyone who gas one, can you measure how deep the head is (giggity)?

                              I'm trying to get the broken off belt tensioner bolt out of the front of a 2000 Corolla's engine. I have very limited space unless I take the engine out. Looks like this may make it so I can just disconnect the engine mounts and pull up the front of the engine and drill that sucker, then hit it with an EZ out.

                                I have a section of their air hosing. The fittings on the end are the only thing I have had issues with. They tend to leak quite a bit after a short time. As for the accessory kit they work well. I still use most of the pieces. I did upgrade my air filler to one with a pressure gauge though.
