To the right is a cheaper cv boot banding tool back of the drawer is a reversible channel lock retaining ring tool with interchangeable tips, good idea bad design imo there's a really cheap hf orange handle retaining ring tool and I think theres still a northern tool brand ring tool pliars, and my old broken homemade one. Really need to clean that drawer out again

I really like my astro pneumatic 20gal parts washer it's one of the few in that price point the pump can handle petroleum based parts washing fluid, unlike my previous hf version.
I have for brief periods when my hands cramp up. I'm basically just keeping it from falling over, it does the bulk of the work by itself, depending on what I'm hammering through. I'm not busting through 12" of concrete reinforced by rebar, though. Just 4-6" with wire in it.and you can run it with only one hand? Wow impressive!
But did you answer the phone like he did?
I might be buying a set of these for my SIL, for Christmas. Trouble with buying him tools is that he loses them as fast as I can buy them. Grandson looks to have the same trait...
I highly recommend the Astro Pneumatic Thor 1/2" drive air impact wrench. Torque Test Chanel on YT has had it in the top spot for air powered impacts for a long while. it's not all that expensive but does require high flow couplers and larger diameter air line. After purchasing the Thor, I gave away my IR Thundergun. The Thor makes around 1500 foot pounds of break away torque and 1000 foot pounds of tightening torque which puts it in the realm of a 3/4 drive impact without the weight of a 3/4 drive which I also have but in the IR flavor. Astro makes some very nice and not all that expensive air tools. The Thor will bust Bud style wheel nuts no issue. Haven't used my torque multiplier in some time now. One aspect of the Thor I like is, it will either loosen A325 Dome head plow bolts on wear steel bottoms or twist them off. No penetrant needed.
Nice thing about HF sockets is the lifetime replacement policy. I've split a few by using them on an impact (regular ones, not the black oxide impacts) and returned them to the store and they replaced them, no questions asked.
