Yes, the HC rear will be a 2Fang custom......

 

Which one did you get?

 

Got the Titanium MiG 170 Welder today with the coupon- SO much more fun and easier than my Lincoln tombstone stick wlder

 

Happy to see that more and more people are going with the titanium line. Had mine since January and it's kicking ass still.

Going to pick up either the 12 or 20 ton press this week, haven't decided yet. $100 vs $140 with coupons. Probably gonna get 20 so I'm never limited in what I wanna do.

 

Got the 20t here, it’s proved itself valuable multiple times already. Bought the additional air over hydraulic 20t pump to swap in place but the baseplate is different in both size and shape and the mounting holes are in different places as well. Keep that in mind if you were planning on doing that to yours as there are a few extra steps involved than what you’d believe.

 

Really no plan to but thanks for the heads up. For the occasional use I'll just get an arm workout in. I'm only buying it to press in some new LCA bushings which don't need much force, buuuttttt any excuse to buy a new tool is welcomed. I've used a ball joint press before for some backyard shade tree press shenanigans so this will be much better.

 

I just picked up this WorkZone 38 piece ratcheting screwdriver set for $7.99 (without tax) at my local ALDI store and liked it so much that I bought a second one.

A coworker of mine had one, and we were moving a CNC Mill. We were lifting it with airbags, the valve stuck and overinflated the bag. The CNC Mill basically fell onto the toolbox, and the toolbox supported it. It was dented, and the top drawer, maybe 2 wouldn't open. But I don't even care.....thats impressive.

 

Got the flag pole for $45

Got the folding carrier for $78

The carrier is actually quite substantial, and I like that it folds.

Reccomend both.

 

Flag poles are great.

 

Yeah I can't wait to use it at the beach.

 

Picked up this little guy awhile ago, my drop light hasn't been touched since: Good amount of light, strong magnet, no cords to trip over, battery lasted long enough to do 50K svc (brakes, and full fluid change) on AWD vehicle.

 

Got a bunch of these to give for Xmas presents last season- they go on sale for under $16...free shipping if over xxx $$$. (Rated at 500 lumens.). I use it all the time!!!

Anyone have experience with this: thinking about learning for light stuff and maybe a cmc eventually

 

Buy the new brand one. Forgot the name. Its not the Vulcan, the cheaper one. Green colored.

 

What’s the main difference? I’m a complete noob.

 

I have it. Used it to teach myself to weld and built my trucks bed sleep platform.

It's very basic, but does the job. I'm very happy I bought it, but would love to have to have a better one, just dont want to pay for it currently.

 

I almost bought this a few weeks ago until I saw a video testing the weld strength. Welds broke really fast with the supplied wire, not sure if better wire would’ve solved the issue. I’m a noob too and was disappointed so I borrowed a buddies Mig instead. The Titanium 125 flux looks intriguing for an xtra $70 and I also saw a Forney on Amazon for $185.

 

Get the Titanium or find a used Lincoln or Miller. I got the Chicago Electric one and it worked great the first day. Went to use it a month later and it was dead to the world. Total junk!
