Yeah all the tools for ryobi are super inexpensive, it's just the batteries. I remember back in the day my dad would piss and moan about his cordless tools but so far I haven't had a single complaint about ryobi, and so far Ryobi has been the goon recommendation elsewhere. I didn't see there was a detailing thread, I'll check it out, thanks.

With the latest generation of high output batteries I would even use a cordless saw or sander.

That $35 Ryobi gadget will help you put wax on some paint, but you will need something with considerably more giddy up if you want to do paint correction. I don't know if their machine is state of the art or not, but Griot's Garage support after the sale is great. I've heard Harbor Freight's corded dual-action polisher works pretty well for $100.

I'm going to be that jerk who doesn't read the thread, assuming this has been covered. Is there a good <$700 bi-directional scan tool that will work for Nissan body control modules? Bonus if it does TMPS and key programming on other brands. Amazon reviews are a shitshow here, and everything else online is just a "TEN BEST BUY THROUGH OUR LINK" garbage review site.

What do you mean bi-directional? You're scanning/resetting or you're programming. Those are two different classes of tools. And TPMS is a separate thing entirely and I've not seen (nor do I want) it in the same tool. Key programming is a poo poo show, deeply manufacturer specific and unlikely to be found in anything that isn't bootleg unless you are a legit dealer. If you're looking for a scanner that does OBD2/SRS/ABS for multiple brands the Autel AL619 is still my go-to. If you want a programmer/coding you likely nee to be looking for something Nissan specific. It might help if you say what you are trying to do here. Other than suggest you want to buy a 4 figure Snap On tool that requires 4 more figures of licensing. Which I bet you both don't want to do and isn't really what you need at all when you look at your realistic use cases.

Thankfully I don't think I need any paint correction. The only thing I'd want to do for this aging car is maybe put some underbody rust coating for super cheap and or maybe paint over it a different color (but that's a conversation for a different thread probably)

Frank Dillinger posted:Bi-directional means you can read data from the car but also send commands to actuate things for example. Ummmm. Any scanner that can clear codes is "bi-directional". It sends the command to clear the codes, and clearly receives data. There's a huuuuuge difference between a $20 scan tool and a fully-featured dealer/SnapOn tool. Both are bi-directional. Saying "bi-directional" doesn't mean anything without more details. If you want a tool that can do a lot of the dealer-only stuff, check out AutoEnginuity. I have one from my old GMC truck. It could do ABS bleeds, do a crank position sensor learn, all that stuff.

Scanners marketing “bi-directional” as a feature are able to actuate components on a vehicle for testing purposes unless I’m mistaken. ie, tell the car to open the sunroof or whatever to see if the motor works and rule out a bad switch. I think? I dunno man, I’ve been wrong before.

Yeah I've got that caulking gun and it was a life saver on my shower surround install when I needed to apply like 8 to 10 tubes of stiff rear end adhesive in a few minutes. I originally bought it because it was capable of running 2 part concrete anchor epoxy and fully intended to just keep it super clean and return it after but decided to keep it after using it once.

I need to drop the fuel tank on the van and all the advice I've read says use a transmission jack + some wood under it to make the job easy. The HF scissor jack is good to about 200 pounds (450 pound rating my rear end) if you can keep it centered. For anything offset the HF 800 pound hydraulic jack works great and has tilt functionality. The hydraulic jack has a larger footprint (good for stability, bad for storage) and is occasionally on sale for only a few bucks more than the scissor jack. From what you said of this project, the scissor should work fine. If you ever plan to use it for something else, and can store it, I would step up to the hydraulic transmission jack.

Apparently my 3/8 drill doesn't quite have enough torque for certain applications. I took the seat out of my car but it took some elbow grease the old fashioned way. Seems I "need" an "impact wrench" tool in the future (especially if I don't want to have to spin the cross brace when changing tires and such very tight bolts) There's so many options though but how about this one? https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18V-Cordless-3-8-in-3-Speed-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-P263/308182766 Seems cheap and I really only want something to use on the car and maybe something around the house at times GreenBuckanneer fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Mar 10, 2022 |

2 things: 1. 1/4” impact drivers aren’t exactly potent. I’ve had good luck with mine but I also have a 1/2” and there is a huge capability difference. That said, if it’s for occasional use (ahahahaha - impacts are not ‘occasional use’) the 1/4” can just run and run until things happen. 2. Impact sockets are different than chrome sockets. Chrome sockets can shatter when they break, impact sockets aren’t supposed to do that. This is a safety issue.

At 220lbs you may as well get a hex keyed tool that has way more versatility with similar lbs of torque. I guess it would be the impact driver? Ps;I mean wrench. You know the thing with the hex Ps;. Well, after further research and rereading. At the price point ryobi is asking for some of their higher level impacts tools, you may want to look at red or yellow impact tools (Milwaukee or dewalt or other recommendations). Its slightly more price wise, but the performance point is well over anything I'm seeing ryobi may have in their line up for certain applications.

I think there are some impact "drivers" (the hex connection ones) that are 7/16" hex now, so they probably have more torque than the 1/4" ones. As for the ryobi above, its might be ok, but 220 ftlbs isn't that much. I have a 1/2" drive corded one with 300 and something ft lbs and it sometimes has trouble getting nuts and bolts off, including lug nuts after my car has been serviced and the guys cranked them on with their impact guns. Typically the other nuts it can't bust (heh) are rusty so maybe it could if they weren't but they are and it can't. I don't know if its still the current 1/2" drive champ, but I got the Milwaukee nut fucker 5000, and thus far it has laughed at anything I've thrown at it, including some lug nuts on medium duty trucks that are torqued to 400+ ft lbs. wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 10, 2022 |

To be clear - "impact wrench for lug nuts on cars" is not going to have much use around the house unless you're sinking lag screws on a regular basis. If you want one that will take care of lug nuts and similarly-torqued fasteners on cars, you probably want https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-HP-18V-Brushless-Cordless-4-Mode-1-2-in-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-P262/314109271 at minimum. And yes, I'd recommend using a 1/4" hex impact driver of some sort for house-style driving jobs, though those can also handle a lot of the lower-torque small fasteners you'll find on cars. But then you might want a compact 3/8" impact for those in-betweens, and maybe a right-angle impact or just a power ratchet, and, and, and...

I assume I could probably just elbow grease it with a breaker bar and some wd40 if the wrench couldn't do some random nut that happened to be rusted, but at best the only other things I'm gonna need to do soon on my car is probably replace the sway links, rear break line, and replacing the break pads.

A nice HF breaker bar and a hex impact would probably suit your needs in your battery choice. The impact gun with a 1/4 hex adapter will likely replace all your hand tools and your current drill due to its versatility on common applications. I have a dewalt set, and a drill. I've rarely used the drill, but the 1/4 impact is dirty and very used. Everything from mounting wall anchors for dog gates and shelves to pulling off motor mounts and removing oil pan screws

That M18 1/4 hex right angle is hilariously weak compared to the current gen normal form factor impact. I end up using it a lot for doing stupid bullshit at work but the noise it makes/time it takes driving a framing screw into a horrible, inaccessible corner is really something.

heffray posted:Brushless gives more power and better battery life in cordless tools, and usually indicates a higher-end product. In this case, the brushless model provides about twice as much power. Either is fine on lug nuts, but you'd need the brushless for something like an axle nut. An impact driver is more generally useful, but an impact wrench is great for bigger fasteners (like wheels). Plus a big impact wrench is one of the most satisfying tools. Just push button, remove

Munkeylord posted:The only right angle impact I know of and want is from Milwaukee. Are there other right angle impacts out yet? The right angle impact is a very niche tool IMO. it’s not much more compact than any of the stubby impacts and those are much better tools. Unless you have a specific use case/need, skip it for now. If you are buying only 1 power tool for everything, I’d agree with the breaker bar and impact driver with a 1/4” or 3/8” adapter for now. Then maybe a ratchet in the future for tight spaces and a big impact for the tight stuff.

My Makita impact driver had no problem spinning the lug nuts off of my Jeep, and I think it did all of the fasteners on my suspension when I swapped the shocks. A quarter turn with the breaker bar is enough to make any reluctant bolts budge.
