I really want some TORX drivers tht don't break. I've busted 2 #50, a #47, and a #30 today - All Craftsman so I can replace them, when I feel like going the 20 miles down to the nearest Sears :smile: Mudrat

Shooo, the day those are created, someone's gonna make a lot of $$$! So going off this email, sounds like you had a lot of fun pulling those rollbars out, eh?? :wink: Jack

get some Cornwell tools, you might be paying 3 times as much though, Snap-On would be my second choice

Never heard of Cornwell?? Snap-On has the same lifetime warranty - I think only if you're a professional mechanic.

I stopped by Sears on the way home and swapped them out. When it cools off a bit I'll slather on the DEET and see if I can break .. I mean ... use the new one.

Thanks, I'll look for Cornwell and see what they've got. I also need to replace my 2" bearing seperator. I think McMasters-Carr is going to get some big buck for a solid steel machined one vs. the cast one that detonated.

No matter what brand of tools you like, there are certain tools you buy the top of the line. Some of the guys I work with think I'm crazy buying Snap-on, but most of them have SNAP-ON Torx. I'm not saying they can't be broken, but in our work, the SNAP-ON Torx last longer. The bearing seperator .......... OTC has been around a long time.

Thanks Thumper and welcome to the board :sa:
I replaced the seperator with the HD version form McMasters and got some new band saw blades too.
I found the OTC web page and will check them out. With the up coming re-build of the 360, I'm looking for a good set of mics that I can trust. I'm also looking for a good tubing bender for my shop. The JD3 and the M-tech NE5 have my attention right now. I'm not in a hurry for the bender since the boss at work said I could use the shop (plasma cutter, arc, mig, tig, lathe, mill, and a Hossfield #2 hydraulic bender with most of the dies I need), but that's 30 miles, 2 bridges and a tunnel from home. Not like walking out back to the shop :lo1l:
