Oh and over 5 years of using my impact driver on cars for brakes andother stuff. Meanwhile I wonder what mechanic tool will be flexvolt? Giant impact wrench? New metal saw? or a new grinder? I’m curious but I’m sure it’s nothing I need. I almost bought into IR cordless last year – glad I waited. Mostly because I’m in dewalt other stuff. I probably won’t buy any of the batteries but the new impact and new ratchet are on my next buy list. ONe reason for that glass fibre – plastics can get brittle over time with exposure to fuels (all) and brake fluid especially will weaken the strength of the plastic. too spendy for my occasional use.ĭewalt has started to bring that across and the only tools I know made this way re the new ratchets and the new compact impact wrenches. I’ve looked at their ratchet for years but never bought one. Mac tool batteries have always been made glass reinforced and resistant that I no of. It has tons of uses, it’s just as good at getting tree sap off your camp saw as it is for getting road tar off your fender or price-tag glue off something you just bought. If you’re familiar with products like “Goo Gone” this does a similar job but is far more effective in my experience. This stuff is amazing for removing any kind of sticky residue and yet it is safe for many delicate surfaces like auto paint and most plastics. Speaking of auto chemicals, this one is a gem that everyone should know about: 3M “General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner”. I’m not sure about things like Toluene or MEK, I’ve never heard of those being used for general auto service but perhaps the paint/body guys use it? Some kinds of brake cleaner can be pretty aggressive so perhaps those might harm the tools, but I am always careful to keep plastic away whenever I use that. I certainly used those tools for auto work though not as often as a professional mechanic would and I didn’t have any issues with common auto fluids: gasoline, diesel, brake fluid, trans fluid, motor oil, grease, misc things like penetrating oil, etc.
