It does have variable speed trigger eh....you don't have to rat-tat-tat-tat-tat every bolt. Haha. Torx socket on the impact and a 10mm wrench in the other hand and the fenders/plastic is on the ground in minutes....
I can't afford Mac/Snapon/Makita....Cambodian Tire lithium one is the one I use now. Ran the old NiCd Crappy tire one for years until the batteries finally gave up the ghost.

My Makita 1/2 was $159 on eBay
U can afford snap on / mac. You just have to be patient. 80% of my tool box if not more is from kijiji
24oz snapon hammer, kid thought he wanted to be a mechanic!! He said he lasted 2 months in school then selling every thing. I paid $45.... Cheap!

Looking for a high quality torque wrench that covers 10 ft-lb to about 40 ft-lb with precision. I have a 1/2" drive snap-on that goes 30-200 and a small one that tops out at 21 ft-lb. I am missing a few in the middle! LOL.

Any suggestions guys?

I'm thinking you are meaning FEIN. I have one, and they are great.

Here is one of the things I bought recently.. 20 ton, works awesome.

A fine is an oscillating saw. I install hardwood floors so I use it to cut door jams. Or to cut out hardwood boards. Does a wicked job. And you can Get metal blades or sanding pads. Dremel makes one to but doesnt stand a chance agaisnt the german made fien.

lol. x2. took a new job that took me of the tools last year. I haven't bought any new tools since... need to fix that. I miss buying tools...or using them for that matter. I have a full woodworking shop that is feeling sorely neglected this past year!

Not so glamorous but a Tove wrecking bar is one of my favourite tools....they are expensive though. Worth every penny in my opinion

I've never seen a Swagelok fitting that big! Is that for real?

Yes it's real. We had a project at work and I fished it out of the metal dumpster !!! It's on top of my tool box, everyone picks it up and says holy c--p!!!
I should price it out, I'm guessing $800

Not to detract from the current thread,

But for any dudes/dudettes who geek out over tools/shop life you may find the Garage Journal message boards interesting. There's people from all walks of life on there ranging from backyard hacks like me to pro mechanics or artisan metal and wood workers. Be warned, there's a lot to envy on there and it *will* end up costing you money haha.

Milwaukee cordless tools. 1/2 inch drive impact is my favourite saves so much time!!! The drill and 3/8 impact are awesome too, as is the cordless angle grinder. Next favorites are the lathe, milling machine and the 40 ton press my dad built.
