Thought I'd drop in and see whats new in the Earl's garage sale forum.
Hi Rick and thanks for stopping by Earl's garage sale forum( maybe Tom will change the name).
Are you changing careers or retiring?
No some of these items I no longer use and some (Picoscope) are being upgraded.
Do you not like the electric impact or just don't use it much?
The tool works great and will loosen lug nuts but the vibration from the tool is severe and I have already had surgery on one my left hand and I was told that the vibration from air tools was a contributing factor in the damage to my hand.
I read over in the iatn tool and equipment forum where most seem to really approve of the cordless impact.
Many years ago I had an ingersoll 110volt electric impact and it was OK for changing tires once you broke the lugs loose by hand. Since then I've never considered an electric impact to be anything I needed.
I had a snap on cordless 3/8ths drill and it was a good drill motor.
Problem was after using it a number of years I needed to replace a couple of the battery pacs for it.
Snap on had changed the design of the battery pacs and the charger would no longer charge the new style battery.
Thought about upgrading the whole mess but they no longer made a 3/8ths drill only 1/2 inch. From previous experience I knew this meant even if I bought the battery pacs and charger should anything happen to the drill motor snap on would refuse to service it because of it's out of production status. They're just not the same company since the logo turned square.
I like the makita drill as well.
I didn't see much future in trying to do things I normally use a 1/2 inch drill motor for like run a sunnen cylinder hone with cordless tools and for less than the price of two battery pacs and a charger I could buy a new makita 3/8ths drill with extra battery pac.
I gave the snap on unit to a friend with the one good battery pac I still had and bought the makita.
I have an E-ignition unit I would like to sell but somehow I didn't think the pico scope forum would be the right market place for it. I could probably even be talked into selling the E-scope to go with it without much trouble.
Probably used the E-ignition less than a dozen times since 03.
I take it you are not very fond of the E-scope.
