Trying to get my axles separated from the unit bearings. Just broke my 36mm using my jack handle as a breaker bar.

30 year old craftsman. It was my grandpas back when he worked for Rockwell. Ive got a collection of craftsman ratchets that I need to take back too. Might as well make a trip for this one.

I dont have much time tomorrow so im just gonna get a cheap impact socket from the local auto parts place, luckily its the same place thats turning my rotors.

Buy a MAC or a snap on and never worry about it again.

I have a few Snap-on things. There just to damn expensive, even though i know there worth the money. I bought a craftsman 1 1/4 combo wrench the other day for almost 40 bucks, It drove me crazy how much it cost.

Uh, unless I miss my guess, that's a Harbor Freight item. You were saying something about broken tools?
