Here is some more nut busting torque to drool on! 35,000 ftlbs of output torque, with a 6 1/2in socket next to it. Also that is a 3/8 ratchet with a 1/2 in impact for scale

Very nice !
Our main supplier was Hy-Tork ( it may have been actually spelled “Torque” ) for big hydraulic torque requirements - they also supplied the sockets. Very cool stuff !
Hytorc- that’s who @Raggedy_Ann and I work for.
SWEET !
Than I must apologize for all the folks that mistreated y’all’s equipment.
Some folks just should it work at an industrial plant and have no idea on how to properly treat tools.
Hytorc stuff was/is GREAT !
We tried a few other brands but Hytorc is what we always ended up preferring.
And no other sockets out lived/lasted better than y’all’s stuff!
I should’ve recognized the van.
People mistreating our tools is how I make a paycheck.
We used AIMCO, E-RAD, CLECO and Hytorc and Hytorc was by far the most reliable under extreme service and abuse.
Some of the other brands were chosen simply because of fitment issues and/or data logging capabilities.
Good to run into some folks from one of our old suppliers!

Bout to learn how to use this hoopty.
I've done quite a bit of LS engine stuff the last few years. And now I find myself back at it again.
Two tools that are cheap but would have made life MUCH easier are an LS specific harmonic balancer puller, and installer.
Ran into needing both yesterday and just said **** it and ordered some overnight Amazon ones.
Why they couldn't just make a simple threaded hole in the end of the crank for a regular bolt I don't know.
I don't see any reason the threads have to start 4.5" back inside the crank. ?
Installer was $12, and Amazon said free overnight with qualifying purchases over $25...
So I found a $13 qualifying puller to throw in the cart

They make shit intentionally hard to work on. They want you to buy a new vehicles.
NEVER!! Over my cold dead 9/16 holding hand!
I don’t think I posted this. I got a thing to make yellow batteries fit on red tools. Works fine, but the battery drains if you leave it on there. It’s too fat to fit some of the tools. For scale both are sitting on the same size battery, it ends up being kind of bulky, but gets the job done in a pinch. Fits fine on the impact and saw. DeWalt 20v to Milwaukee M18.
Also got a battery powered sprayer. Takes the M12 batteries, same as my ratchet. Sprayer works well for garden products. Haven’t used it for stain yet.

Oh my.... I don't know how I ever did dump runs without dump trailer.!?
That was so slick, quick, and easy!
Now, just if our dump didn't SUCK in the actual trash area.
They used to bury the pile in 6"-12" of dirt a couple times a day, and now they just smash it all down and let you drive on the crap for a couple days. It's a tire nightmare.
So I don't go out to that part lol.
The spot I do dump is in a quonset hut thing but it's only pickup beds or single axle trailers.

I'm confused they have you drive over the trash to smash it down?
Got some ramps built for the trailer if that counts as tools? Oh and thanks to those that helped with material selection. I need to get them painted now and make new retainers on the trailer itself.
