Inside track member?

 

You're right, found it Member only deals

 

I'm honestly not sure.

I get "carpet bombed" with HF adds daily!

 

Same, but yeah I found it you were right.

Sucks it's only in-person too.

 

We aught to do an inside track membership share sub thread.

All HF ever asks is the phone number and 1st name.

My inside track membership was purchased in South Carolina, but I do most of my purchases in Michigan. They never ask for ID.

 

Yeah whenever I had my membership, they just ask for a phone number and nothing else

 

Got the pistol grip needle nose pliers today. I don't know when I'll need them but when I do I'm sure I'll be glad I have them. Then also got their $8.99 giant pack of metric o-rings that saved me a bunch of money rebuilding a cam chain tensioner instead of replacing it. I was pleasantly surprised they were all still sorted in their places when I opened the box. Fully expected they'd have flown everywhere.

 

I bought a set from Snap On maybe 30 years ago and I used them frequently. I lost them at some point after I stopped wrenching for a living though.

 

picked up this unit 6 months ago. Finally got to use it today.

 

I've got one that works great, but hold on tight to it and brace it against your hip when using it otherwise you'll end up with broken wrists in a hurry lol

 

Thanks for the reply. I actually bought one and used it. Took a while to get it running. And I will second you on the potential for wrist injuries. When the bit get caught, the head will snap around on you in rush with power. overall worked as it should, especially after getting some rocks out of the way.

 

the one thing that is not called out.

The metal pull tab ring on the outside of the grease cartridge has to be cut off for the cartridge to fully skip into the body of the gun. You can see the metal ring I knifed off in the background of the grease gun pic. Not a deal breaker. pulling a trigger sure beats pumping a grease gun.

 

Does anyone have the Predator 2650 or 3200 psi pressure washer and if so what's your experience? It appears the models have evolved in the last few years. My older Lowe's pressure washer has multiple issues and I spend more time attempting to get it to run than spraying (it has a vertical shaft engine with pump underneath.. these HF versions have a horizontal shaft with a different style pump.)

 

Have the 2650 model, haven’t used to often, no problems. Got a can of the Sta-Bil pump protector HF carries $7.99. Give pump a shot each use

 

I haven’t noticed that issue with mine.

 

Warrantied out my Merlin 58178 regulator this weekend. Every once in a while it wouldn't regulate (kind of important for a regulator). It would go to full tank pressure. Luckily they had one left on the shelf

 

Got this for the road trips. I think it will pair nicely with the battery impact. Case is nice to have.

 

Interesting, that is the same discount price I paid for that set in Oct. 2020.

 

That color is really nice!
