Snapon 10mm, for 50 cents, next to an 11mm I have had.   Will never know why somebody needed an obstruction wrench so bad.

BTDT. I've got a few sacrificial snappys.

And as always when China is the only option,  I have to balance out the universe by also buying some American goodness.

I've got a nice pair of Utica 6" dykes I bought NOS a year or two ago and they don't cut even remotely as well as these.
Hell I had a pair of Channellock #338 dykes that didn't cut as easily as these little e336 seem to.

The mini prybar - scraper from Vaughn/Dasco is fairly new I believe, I've never seen them before.

Those plastic bladed cutter wheels seemed to be all the rage a few years ago. I remember selling them over at the hardware store. You'll have to tell me how well you think they worked compared to the fishing line. I might switch over as well.

Will do.
I've got a lot of weeds around here ( that's why I own 7 machetes and a sickle) and can definitely put it through it's paces.

One breaks and it will shake as its now off balance. They work but break pretty easily in my limited time using them. Once I ran out of new blades never again

How do you think that works? You guys all run approximately the same air pressure, right? So how can a smaller tool - with smaller guts I'd think - have the same impact power as a larger tool? Not criticizing, just asking about tools I've never used.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!  :lol_hitting:

That's a good case for keeping a drawer full of cheap yard sale wrenches.

Very nice Tim. HF seems to be upping its game. I think their Earthquake line is one of the best air tool bargains on the market today.

I didn't buy this 45 gallon Husky tote ,but someone left behind a pretty new one just like it in the parking lot at work this morning and I was told to toss it in the dumpster.
It had nothing but a hose of some kind in it
