Danaher Tool Group KDS2031 Cutter Exhaust and Chain TypeTailpipe Review

Danaher Tool Group KDS2031 Cutter Exhaust and Chain TypeTailpipeI've just spent an hour trying to cut through a 2" piece of exhaust tubing, and this exhaust cutter has fallen apart no less than 5 times.It's barely cutting, and what it is "cutting" is threads, not a nice clean cut.It's almost impossible to get enough clamping force on this thing to even make a dent in the tubing.

I'm not sure where the "1/4 turn for a full cut" came from, but for sure it is not from reality.I don't know what I'll do now, as I cannot drive my car to inspection because of the huge slice in the tubing because the portion of the tube it DID cut is only about 90° worth.

The advertising for this product is false, and I will do my best to inform the other engineers and mechanics that I work with of the low quality of this tool.

Ingersoll Rand SK4M14 1/2-Inch Drive 14-Piece Metric Standard Impact Socket Set Review

Ingersoll Rand SK4M14 1/2 inch Drive 14-Piece Metric Standard Impact Socket SetThese were some really nice looking sockets.Unfortunately I bought them from Amazon's used store (basically reselling things that were returned) and two of the sockets were duplicated, so I was actually missing two (I'm sure this is the reason it was returned, but I guess they couldn't figure out it shouldn't be resold).

I do plan to buy these again because they are such a great deal, and they look great.Just waiting until I actually have a need for them again.

Ingersoll Rand SK4C3F 1/2-Inch Drive 3-Piece Lugnut Service Flip Impact Socket Set Review

Ingersoll Rand SK4C3F 1/2 inch Drive 3-Piece Lugnut Service Flip Impact Socket SetLike all of IR's impact sockets, these are beautifully finished and sturdy. It's nice having all four of the most common lugnut sockets in a relatively compact combo. The walls of the sockets are a little thick for some alloy wheels with small nut openings, but that's the price for a little extra strength. Lugnut sockets get more use than most impact sockets and need to have a little extra meat.

Dorman HELP! 614-632 C Series Universal Quick Boot Kit Review

Dorman HELP 614-632 C Series Universal Quick Boot KitI installed this on a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4.My old boots were cracking, but not yet leaking, so the CV joint was good and I hoped using this product would be good maintenance.
Installation was difficult for a split boot.The supplied solvent glue has a tendency to dissolve holes in the boot when used in the amounts described by the instructions.
I just checked the boot after six months of use.The end seals are poor.The large end is leaking grease, and the small end seams loose on the shaft.
