I have a charger for one of those ratchets and an extra battery if you want it , pay the shipping and it can be yours , I am not going that route again, I have gotten way more use out of this Kimo ratchet than I ever did with my Milwaukee and this one is 3/8 instead of 1/4 .

I am probably picking up one of those shop vacs from Walmart for $39.00.'
Thanks for the offer, I apricate it. I think I have enough spares for now however.

That deal on the Milwaukee charger and battery is open to anyone here, I have zero use for it now , as I said earlier the chances of me ever buying another Milwaukee electric ratchet are zero, I had way to many issues with mine and for the price I can but about v.
I have thought about getting a JIS set but wondered if it would be worth it. Sometimes those screws are on there so dang tight anyways that the impact might be needed :D

Some good deals at walmart thanks. My buddy gave me that 3/8 milwalkee ratchet, its probably the most used power tool I own. I do wonder if the fuel version would have more torque for breaking bolts free though.
buy the two screwdrivers I posted the link on , you will be amazed at the difference , most screws come out with no impact even the jet cover screws on Mikunis , but those are actually impact screwdrivers , they turn 12 degrees when you strike them , it's one of those why didn't I do this a lot sooner type of tools that once you try you will never be without one again.

One Item that was on my sales paper that did not show on the link was side grinders, they were on sale for $9.99 , I am buying about 4 , I usually kill one about once a year and they are name brand grinders, how can you go wrong here ?

Also loading up on paint guns , again $9.99 , if I use it once I have gotten my moneys worth out of them , I use them for primer guns so I don't have to spray primer with my Sata Jet gun , some of the rest no explanation needed , shop towels, zip ties, electrical tape, funnels, and several other things I am constantly buying.

One of the best deals I see here is the corded 1/2" impact for $59.99 , IMHO opinion that is a must have , I have an air impact but of course you have to be at the shop and have air to run it .

l must have missed where the deal is on the milwaukee battery and charger?
I need to buy a battery operated heat gun for some of my jobs. But will also need the battery and charger. Be nice to get a deal on one.

What I am referring to is a used battery and charger that I had for my cordless ratchet , I no longer have the ratchet after repairing it twice , like I said anyone that wants it pay shipping and it's yours. It fits the ratchet in the link below, I believe the 3/8 ratchet takes the same battery as do a few more Milwaukee tools , it is not for the fuel tool sets , regular red lithium battery and charger , I have been trying to give it away for a while now lol.

If no one wants it I have a friend that has a 3/8 Milwaukee ratchet that I will give it away to see link below.

Went to Home Depot today and found that if you bought two batteries and a charger from Milwaukee, you would get a choice of tools for free. Cost was $199 for the charger and battery’s. I ended up with a jigsaw that I really needed. Excited to try it out.

They had a similar deal with Dewalt in the spring
 
I picked up the same husky 52" cabinet off marketplace brand new for $750 this year, very much worth the $800+tax for new in store.
My brother in law got that same one a few years ago for around 60% less than they ask now. It's a great box. They don't really advertise the two levels of quality. Chrome handles have thinner metal and the black are more like pro quality. Much beefier. I'm getting that one in blue in a couple days. I love the built in power bar with some USB outlets to make the top shelf a charging station.
 
Agreed, you get 19 gauge minimum, compared to standard duty 21 gauge. 25% thicker. I still need to run power to mine. I have their heavy duty 61" workbench for my work and has held up excellent over the past 5 years.

Needing some Dewalt batteries. Anybody ever tried the Amazon knockoff batteries ?
I have used some in the past on both my Black and Decker and my Hitachi stuff with varying results , I don't think they hold up as well as OEM batteries do so you have to do the math, if they are less than half the price and last over half as long you are still good moneywise. I looked the other day , the brand I used was Vanon .

I did the math on my Kimo cordless ratchet when I got it and I can buy about three or four for the price of one Milwaukee ratchet , so far the Kimo has out erformed the Milwaukee by a lot.

The batteries I bought were from Vanon, I did not have good luck with the Vanon batteries ,I bought some slide in Firestorm 12v and some slide in Hitachi 18 v , none of them work anymore , I have a whole set like in the second link, 12v stuff , they take the old funky batteries that B&D and Dewalt used to use with the part that sticks up and goes into the drill , All of those came with crappy chargers but I did also purchase the updated charger for them.

I also have some newer B&D Firestorm stuff that uses the slide in batteries some 12 v some 14.4 v and they use one charger for both voltages , I just ordered some for the really old ones and today I found these slide in ones on Ebay $10.98 each with free shipping and discounts if you buy more than one , five year warranty , 90 day free replacement , I am going to pull the trigger on them and see how it goes.

The only cool thing about the 12 impact is I gutted a battery and added leads with battery charger clips on them , as long as you were working on a machine that had a battery in it you had power , just clip it onto the battery in the machine.

I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DEAL WITH THE ADAPTOR BUT I SENT THE SELLER A MESSAGE TO GET CLARIFICATION ON IF IT HAS TO HAVE THE ADAPTOR OR IF THEY ARE DIRECT FIR BATTERIES.
