Yeah but it breaks after hitting 2 popes

[–] lime@feddit.nu 8 points 3 days ago

that's still a good 40-50 years of use!

Still cheaper to replace when it breaks than the Snap-On one.

That's the cool thing about harbor freight. How many popes you really gonna hit on any given day?

In all seriousness, my dad was a mechanic, and he’d buy HF air impact guns instead of Mac or Matco or Snap-On. The nice ones cost four to six times as much, and needed to be serviced about every 18 months, during which time he was down a gun.

So he’d buy two or three HF guns, use one till it broke in six months, switch to another, replenish stock at his convenience.

Secondhand, Harbor Freight, and Ryobi is the way for most tools.
