Torque multiplying wrenches

I love my 3/4" drive Chicago Pneumatic impact gun but we still carry the 1-1/4" X 7' pipe cheater. For the bigger stuff like the 2-1/2" nut on the transmission output shaft we use our 4 to 1 multiplier (3/4'' in, 1'' out) & 650 LB torque wrench. That nut being 1400 ft. lbs. still fights back with the need for 350 ft. lbs. at the torque wrench!

In my experience, "New Milwaukee" has been (or at least was - don't know in detail recently) one of the most expensive tool vendors and one of the suppliers of the highest-quality, most useful tools. I hope that the "cheap-rate" competition stuff hasn't driven them to compromise.

I've bought several of their new cordless tools and have been very happy with them, although I think DeWalt might have them beat on their lighting at the tool's working end.

Check Craiglist for new Milwaukee tools. I have bought drill etc for pennies on the dollar. Some people go to HD and buy a kit with a lot of tools and some they don't need then sell off the others for cheap brand new without batteries most times but I already have 3 batteries so if I can get the drill like I got for 70.00 that was priced for 160.00 18 fuel drill I buy it. Now waiting for the impact to come up also got the Sawzall for 50.00 because the guy said he got two tools on sale which I saw the ad for 140.00 for sawzall and saw and he figured he got the saw for free and then sold the sawzall to me for 70.00 because he had no need for it. Cool.

Here's a good you tube video on the Milwaukee fuel tools in 1/2 and 3/4.
