I have a 19.2 volt craftsman impact. It's pretty nice but nothing compared to my best friend's snap on.

When I started "EVERYTHING" had a Ford 300ci six in it.

When I started we had mostly GM's and only a few Fords. A couple of Internationals were still around too.

I think every center back then more or less stayed with one brand of engine so they didn't have to keep a bunch of different parts stocked up. Ours was a Ford center. We had a bunch of Ford Econolines (at first they were flat-tops but later switched to bubble-tops. Mostly we had P-400's -but we did have a P-600 that was the "in town" truck. I remember the day we got our first P-800. That thing looked huge!

When I posted that it showed that it was incorrectly spelled so I left it to see if anyone was paying attention.

You have been doing this since I joined in 2007----thought I'd finally say something about it.

Starter and brakes are big jobs?

Starters & brakes are bigger, heavier, & uglier. Having moved enough 25MT starters around, I feel qualified to make that statement

Nope. All gone. About 4 years or more.
