I am not the biggest shill for Ryobi-branded tools since I use them all day for work, but Home Depot has a pretty killer deal for batteries right now. 2 pack of the regular 4 amp hour batteries with a charger for $99, plus a free tool from a list which can also be another, different 2 4ah battery pack. 4 large tool batteries for $25 apiece is real good. Splitting hairs, these are the regular output 4ah batteries and not the high output ones - it’s kinda snake oil between the two IMO. If you want a free tool instead of the battery avoid their fine knife, I’ve had two of those cheapo ones die before my boss caved and bought the more expensive one.

I’m about to start pulling and working on my first engine, a four cylinder from a Mighty Max, and as far as engine stands go is the $100 option from Harbor Freight good enough or should I be dropping a few more dollars on something better? I have an engine lift I can borrow, but my buddy’s stand is occupied for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for all the feedback, I feel way more confident with the budget stand now.

I’m late to the party but I recently picked up the pictured Klein Tools ratcheting crimper and it’s great. The electrical stuff at my job, when it comes up, goes much smoother.

I’ve been impressed with my Noco charger - I have the dinky 1 amp charger that I’ve thrown a couple of huge tractor batteries at and while yes, they took forever to charge, it did some desulfation trickery that my bigger charger doesn’t have. If the genius5 doesn’t bring that Prius battery back to life then yeah, it’s definitely toast.

How do the Milwaukee m18 batteries hold up to daily abuse? I’m trying to drum up reasons to switch away from Ryobi as the tool brand we use for work. I have a feeling that half of our batteries we got at the $25/4ah Home Depot sale less than a year ago are about to die.

Motronic posted:It's homeowner level stuff for homeowners often at the right prive for that quality and that's great. I guess this was some of advice I was looking for. I’m mainly gunning for M18 because the company I work for seems to be Home Depot stans, but I should bring up the whole use case bit the next time an oscillating tool or sawzall dies. Or the cheap batteries that are starting to not charge anymore. Maybe a better way to phrase my earlier post was “just how much more durable are the M18 batteries than the Ryobi ones? Or how many more charge discharge cycles can they take in the real world?”

I recently started using a Klein Tools 65200 at my job with a variety of bits and it’s been a game changer for me. Maybe it/another mini ratchet doesn’t have the reach that you need, but it’s been great to me in very tight spots with ye olde magnetic socket bits.
