Now to choose a set of impact sockets from 12mm up to 24mm give or take...

 

Hard to go wrong with the HF deep impact sockets

 

I'm not so sure the Dewalt cordless tools are crap man. I mean contractors, home owners still use them all the time. An individual might've had bad luck with them but think the big 3 are fairly similar in quality. I personally like Milwaukee and Makita only because that's all I've used and haven't had a need yet to check any others out. A big plus to me with Milwaukee or Makita is Home Depot carries and so if ever needed a return or an issue with em, home despot is great for returns and swapping tools without a hassle

 

I like my craftmen evolv ones, idk what the normal craftmen are like. And i hear the Milwaukee ones are good

 

DH Griffin Wrecking Co. They have yards all over my area, but theyre a huge company so they could be out west too. I go there first whenever I need steel for projects at the house. But if its in the yard its for sale, so today I was able to pull the electronics off a stretch wrap machine.

 

It really is. Although I cringe whenever Im driving through it, you park in the yard cause its too huge to walk through. I fear for my tires lol.

 

Sounds like driving behind my work, lathe and mill shavings everywhere. I wouldn't ever dare doing it haha, but I'll do a burnout in it with the forklift

 

The yard is really good about keeping the roads clear, but you still cringe. Its sucks that the public sales office is in the back of the yard too. If I wanted to sell scrap to them, theres a nice parking lot and you go through the scales without worry. They'll let you walk all over the property and buy anything you can get out of there though, which is really surprising.

 

Two of the huge yards near me are really good about keeping things clear and one is so bad that they use solid wheelbarrow tires haha

 

Mmm cummins

 

Oh for car junkyards I would never drive through em if they would even let you. LKQ is horrible about keeping the isles clear, you can walk through there and trip on engine blocks laying in the isles haha. Pull a part on the other hand keeps their yards immaculate. They pick up everything after hours, even the bolts people drop.

 

Gas/diesel model? Why does it have spark plugs.

 

Genset diesel. Becoming a big thing for the railroads.

 

@Wulf look its a ford. Couldnt even use there own powerstroke

 

Ah okay, strange config but makes sense for the conditions. I live right down the street from a Cummins R/D facility, I think they give tours, should check that out one time

 

Idk i dont work on them. It just happens to be in the same room as the controller for the fridges

 

Oh lol its an old 230 I6, I remember those... would be a shitty generator engine, they make not much torque especially on propane

 

Yeah Norfolk Southern and I imagine others are using them as yard switchers, much more eco friendly.

 

Looks like I may get to go to ECGS's shop sometime next month. Dad wants their bushing for his 08.
