The question wasn't "underrated tools that everyone needs to own" now, was it?
The fact this indispensable fabrication tool for working with heavy glass is deemed "useless" and you had to look it up and imagine that they are only used because of a lack of skill on the part of people who regularly make perfect narrow cuts in inch thick glass because they know what purpose made tools to use just shows that they are underrated.

It's not the flame temperature, it's the BTU output of propane that makes it useful. Roughly twice the BTU/s per cubic foot of gas than Acetylene. I'm not trying to melt a nut off, I'm trying to heat it up to where I can take it off.
MAPP/Pro puts out only 10% more BTUs than Propane, where real MAPP was 70% more BTUs (effective BTU, that is, measured at the same torch and flow rate.) MAPP was great, now it's gone.

Depends what you’re trying to do with them. They will snap if you’re trying to use them for shit you should have a 1/2” impact wrench for, but a good impact driver with an adapter will do a lot of the work a compact 3/8” would do.

They’re 1/4” but flattened, at least with the Skeletool and I think the others are the same, you can have an extra bit tucked in the tool because they’re so small. IIRC, you can buy a little extender that will use regular 1/4” bits.

The space saving is worth it to have the proprietary bits, you can slide like 20 bits into the sheath and barely notice it.

The two pieces on the right of my picture are the extender and ratcheting driver. They just look weird because one has a 1/4 inch socket adapter in it, and I've put vinyl washers on them to use as stoppers when I put them in my little prybar for more torque.

I got picrel in the 15” size and I’ll probably grab a couple more sizes. Was worried about the strength, it would suck to have the locking mechanism fail, but it doesn’t really seem to be an issue. Tons of reviews of dudes using the 30”+ versions on diesel and shit and everybody loves them.

They’re pretty fucking great when you need to pry stuff in tight spots and can’t get the right angle, or you get something pried apart 50% and need to adjust the pry bar to get it apart the rest of the way.

And unironically most of them occur taking the first step onto a ladder or the last step off. It never happens to the smart ones either. Like, stepping up and down is something your parents should have taught you when you were a year old. Walking 201, Advanced Walking. Yet these mouth breathers need a safety course on how to operate their own fucking feet around tools. For some people just being conscious should be an OSHA violation.

Depends on what you need. An air gun CAN have more total energy per blow (good for springy shit like a harmonic balancer), but an e-gun can have more torque than an equivalent air gun.

My 1/2" milwaukee can take off just about anything, up to and including semi-truck tires. But things that bounce back like a balancer is better suited for air (a long-ass lag bolt with a lot of torque on it). Our shop switched from 90% air to 90% electric and it's so much nicer.

Still haven’t reached much of an opinion on the Raptor knockoffs or the Channie nut buster thing, time will tell. I would be down to buy a 7-1/4” Raptor if they sold one to hold nuts on the back end when driving bolts. And I prefer the pliers wrench like 80% of the time to a regular crescent wrench, then 15% I would take either, and maybe 5% the crescent wrench just fits better because there’s no room to squeeze the pliers wrench.

Every shop has a compressor (because tire inflation, spraying and pneumatic blow guns) but a mix of corded, pneumatic and cordless tools is now typical in any pro shop not run by autists.

I'm a RL boomer wrenching since the 1970s and not afraid of using the optimal tool for productivity. For example weldors use 9" electric angle grinders for full torque at zero RPM and not wrestling air hose, ditto the glorious Milwaukee 5196 die grinder beloved by industry. OTHO pneumatic needle scalers are best for that job hence my big ol' Texas scaler.

While you're being autspergic why no mention of mechanical torque multipliers? They out-torque pneumatics which is why heavy equipment guys use them and you can stack them for additional multiplication.

Which could easily be attached to a power cord. But manufacturers don't do that because, if you need a powerful impact wrench in a shop, people generally use an air wrench. And if you need a powerful impact wrench in the field, battery is generally the only option. Someone without access to shop air probably won't need a thousand-foot-pound impact wrench, so a 400-foot-pound corded impact wrench would actually sell.

Except for mentally ill autspergic boomers who see modern prices but cannot mentally correct for inflation dragging cords on jobsites sucks. It HEWTS to buy batteries because many old people were mindbroken by poverty and remained unable to measure by cost-effectiveness which is not the same thing as spending as little as possible.

I'm a real boomer by birth year but also a professional mechanic and the frothers make me puke.

Corded tools like air tools (and hydraulic tools for serious work) are more of an in-shop asset. There is little reason to run them on jobsites though with an inverter a truck will happily power them. I use my inverters so I can run all my stuff anywhere I like but I didn't pay anywhere near retail for the inverter or most of the tools.

Corded and pneumatics are fucking annoying when working in engine bays. They're fine for tires and suspensions but today many mechanics go cordless. A 1/4" drive cordless ratchet is great for many tasks and a serious wrist saver, ditto all the other lightweight cordless tools. My heavy pneumatics mostly sit and all I use are die grinders and needle scalers.

Pic related for size comparison. The camera itself is like the size of a filter on a Newport 100.

Pic related is what I was saying about the focal point. I think some of them may zoom, and probably only like $50 or a little more with how cheap they got.

This one was like $30 a couple years ago, it seems like the focal point is around 3” away (although this collage app cut off part of the pic so you get a wider landscape field of view).

The bottom 2 pics, that’s probably around 6”-8” away and it starts to get blurry, so if you’re trying to inspect a pipe and look a few feet down, you will be able to see obvious damage if the light reaches, but you need to get right around 3” away if you want a clear and focused view.

Same goes in real tight spots if the camera ends up only 1” away from a surface, it will be quite blurry unless you can back it up a little bit.

It’s like cheap multimeters. The Chinese shit is actually accurate and will be more than enough for homeowners doing 120V and DC stuff and measuring fasteners or whatever with the caliper. But if you’re paying your mortgage with it, then you spend for Fluke and Mituyo because repairing a $500k piece of equipment is different than repairing a $500 appliance. You need to trust that your tool is giving you a good reading or you might put lives at risk.

Meanwhile the homeowner isn’t going to see much beneft from the $200+ +/-0.002 capable device over the $20 +/-0.02 device that eats batteries too fast, especially if the homeowner is only using it 2-3 times a year.

Because cheap ones are not repeatable, eats batteries, gritty and rough, ground very poorly/inaccurately, and arent absolute origin reading (extremely useful).

To buy a decent "cheap" brand of chink calipers that doesnt suck dick, you are looking at at least ~$45 for the Absolute origin Igaging ones (which still arent ground all that well)

At that point you are already halfway there to the real deal, japanese made Mitutoyos (which go on sale for 100$ all the time)
The quality difference is night and day.
Once people who have never used digital calipers before get a pair and see how useful they are, they tend to want better ones because of how bad the cheap ones are.

Once people hear that mitutoyos have a rated battery life of over 3 years with "daily use", they start to look real enticing.
Replacing SR44s every 2 months in cheap calipers starts to get expensive and highly annoying.

Nobody buys Mitutoyos right off the bat.

This board isnt geared to the "homeowner" who doesnt actually tinker or build things.
People who actually build shit dont use measuring tools "2-3 times a year".

Thats exactly why people will buy a few shit pairs and always relent and buy the Mitutoyos eventually.

Meanwhile, higher-end cordless and pneumatic 1/2" impact wrenches regularly top 1000. As I said, corded electric impact wrenches are for light-duty use, because people with heavy-duty wrenching needs probably have alternate power sources that are better-suited to those tasks.
