Is screwed on a bit tight, but the bolt doesn't loosen which is good. Good durability and as easy to use as any 8 piece brake pad gauge.

I bought this for carpenter use, and it works very well for what I wanted. I haven't used it a great deal, but when I have it was tough, durable, and stayed flexible.

This impact driver seems to have only one negative condition; it is relatively difficult to start a screw and keep the bit engaged in the head of the fastener.  When it does slip off, the driver tip punches a dent in whatever you are working on. Philips head fasteners are the worst, with square drives a close second. I bought the kit partially for the batteries and the additional drill motor, and both are top quality. I've been in residential contracting for over 35 years and find Makita a durable and well designed tool manufacturer. I wonder if they didn't fail, to some degree, on this impact driver.

Been using these regularly for about half a year now and they're holding up fine. Convenient how there are no sizes skipped, and how the lid is removable for storage in your tool box. The ratchet itself is phenomenal and I have yet to have a problem with it. The sockets are quality made and will last a lifetime if used properly and not abused, although they can take a beating.

The Gear Wrench indexable pry bars are a good choice if you need flexibility. The main feature is the move able head. This comes in handy when you need to get it in a tight spaces for prying.

The extendable shaft is a nice feature to reduce its storage space, however this is why I dropped a star off its rating. I have purchased two of these, with the second one not being able to lock ar the shaft out of the package. This gives me concern over the durability and longevity of this feature. The other had no issue, so this may have just been a defective unit. The tool does come with a warranty and was exchanged without issue.

If you are looking for a good pry bar, with a lot of leverage and more flexibility than the traditional flat or curved bar, this is a excellent choice.

I actually misordered this when I bought it, I intended to get the QTi but irregardless I haven't looked back. It's mighty strong (yes, it will pull off *most* Honda crank bolts although I've met some H-crnk bolts that no 1/2" would tackle and alternative methods were required) and very light. Thankfully it's not unduly loud (certainly more tolerable than the shop-jerk Thundergun). The guy in the next service bay down liked it so much when he tried it he ordered one the next day. I recommend getting the Ingersoll protective boot and a care kit when you buy it (all available from amazon) for a complete package sans air fitting (which any decent shop will provide you one compatible with their air system). Oil it regularly and like any air tool for godsakes don't drop it all the time and it'll last you a long long time. For naysayers about the dropping thing any polymer bodied impact is more fragile than it's alloy bodied brethren (comes with the lightness), and if you're treating your expensive air tools like that you obviously have more money than sense.

Secure fastener is easy to open and doesn't pop open by itself

I put a 2 ft cheater pipe to this, put the cheater pipe under a hydraulic floor jack, and flexed the while handle out of line by about 3/4" on a set of LCA's from hell.  Neither bolt nor wrench broke.  Replaced the LCA after I cut it off the axle.  Kept the wrench.  (I stopped because I ended up lifting the vehicle off the jack stands....)

The wrench had enough elasticity to come back to shape.  I've cheater barred this wrench more than I care to admit and it has always come back to shape.  The teeth and ratchet mechanism for the head are still smooth and notch-free.  I was impressed enough that I bought a second one for trail use in my jeep.

This wrench is solid and a great buy.

I installed this on a 2000 Montana with 185k miles to replace the hollow factory bar that had split at both ends. This bar is solid steel, and should last forever. All of the necessary hardware was included and was undamaged despite the fact that the box looked like it had been run over multiple times. I would have given this 5 stars except that the bushing clamp bolts are not dog-pointed. I had to re-use the factory bolts for the driver side bushing clamp because there is little clearance for a socket or wrench, and the dog-pointed factory bolts were much easier to get started than the plain bolts supplied in this kit. No complaints after about 500 miles. Good price and quick delivery. Overall I am satisfied and recommend this product.

Good bolts, don't use air impact or you will destroy them

Only bolt/arrows I've used for last few years. Hard hitting and reusable. I've taken numerous deer and have had no issues. Other reviews complain about lighted nocks breaking while practicing. I only used lighted nocks to hunt and still using same one thats been fired about 4 times in last 2 seasons with no issues. They have to be tightend for snug fit prior to installing in bolt. If installed snd to loose it will break or fall out. You could also use a small dab of glue on lower black portion of lighted nock to help tighten it up.

I've been using the ARKON mount for a bit over a week now as a trial so there's really not much to complaint about except for a couple of things.  But in all fairness, a week really isn't enough time to try and figure out ANY product IMO. Right out of the bag it's easy to put together. No separate, extra pieces to try and figure out.

The window suction piece is rather good. It's sticks without a hitch and it ain't going nowhere. The arm lock is similar to that of a GoPro just not as beefy. In my experience with many different types of mounts I can see the ARKON being about average, again IMO, before it starts to fall apart.

The thing that really is a turn off is having to stick a metal plate on my phone or on the cover. But I guess to make it work there's probably no way around it. It could also be "beefier" if it wants to compete with the GoPro and the couple of other action cams that require a mount.

If you have an application in which a bolt needs to be tight and the object at hand is subject to vibration, then you need this Blue Threadlocker.  Firearms, for example, involve lots of screws to mount front sights, scope mounts, and all manner of similar applications.  Even for .22 caliber firearms which don't involve that much recoil violence, eventually bolts shake loose; usually at the most inconvenient possible time.  A tiny dab of this Threadlocker on the threads of the bolt or screw just about always fixes this.  This is the medium strength, which means that if you ever really need to remove the screw you can still do it with some elbow grease and leverage, but absent such an effort it will stay put.  I use this material regularly and it never lets me down.  RJB.

My 2-year old likes this scooter. She's the size of many 4-year olds & zapped around on this from day-one. Bearings and wheels seem robust, good turning circle, manages small bumps without a problem. The bag is still attached & has had lots of use.
Not given 5-stars 'cos the bolt cover keeps riding-up, leaving bolts exposed, but 4-stars is good.

Good construction, and so far has been a good tool. Used in a processing Plant to disassemble machine guards during over huals. 5/8" bolts have been the biggest I've used this on. I got it to use as a compact, cordless, light weight alternative to 1/2" air impact, and at that it excels. I have other brand name cordless drives that are obsolete in comparison. Ran with the m18 4.0 extended charge battery with an average 2 days of intermediate use, that is not abusing it trying to remove larger bolts that were torqued too tight to begin with. Recommend for light mechanical work. It's a real time, and wrist saver. Also seller is fast on shipping. New tool arrived early, and in good condition. I have already purchased more from them, and same experience.

I'm using three of these RAM U-bolt mounts on a Trek DS 8.5 hybrid bicycle.  Although the 31.8mm diameter handlebars have a tapered diamater rather than a fixed diameter, I was able to tighten this mount down securely with no problem by using the smaller of the two U-bolts.  The larger 1.5" U-bolt also fit nicely over the fattest 31.8mm section of the handlebars.  The V notch on the bottom of the mount combined with the U-bolt allows easy tightening against a round surface with increasing diamater.  I use it to hold a Garmin Oregon 450, a Samsung Galaxy Player WiFi 5.0, and a flashlight/headlight.  I appreciate that the U-bolts I received in this kit are painted black:  The black hardware blends better with my black handlebars.

One of my favorite features of RAM products in the ball-and-socket joint.  Once you tighten it down, it stays put.  However, there's still a little bit of flex in the rubber balls so that whole setup absorbs some shock.  I appreciate that on my mountain bike.

The kit includes (see additional uploaded picture):

The aluminum mount with 1" rubber ball
2 black U-bolts--a smaller 1" width one and a larger 1.5" width
2 nuts with nylon friction inserts
2 rubber nubs to cover the U-bolt ends
1 plastic adapter insert to narrow the U-bolt down for use on handlebars as small as 1/2" in diameter

Be careful with part numbers.  RAM-B-231Z items seem to have multiple configurations on RAM's website.  Some hardware is zinc coated, some is stainless steel, and some is black powder coated.  I ordered RAM-B-231ZU from Amazon retailer GPSCheap and received the parts as indicated above.  I ordered another RAM-B-231ZU from GPSCity and received the zinc coated 1" U-bolt only.

The rubber nubs were too loose to use in my application, partly because their inner diameter is too large and partly because I didn't have enough of the U-bolts exposed for them to be very useful or secure.  Also, the kit does not come with washers (-1 star) and you'll likely scratch the mount with the nuts as you tighten if you don't add your own washers.  I added washers in order to protect the mount.  Be cautious when installing:  If you're metal against metal, you may cause some scratching with the U-bolt as you position it.

Seems durable enough, though I have not used it extensively (so far, just driving roller pins in AR15 uppers/lowers, which is why I bought this).  Nice to be able to easily swap heads. Yes, the heads begin to unscrew after a bit of pounding--which is why I rate this hammer 4 stars instead of 5--but I found an easy solution that still lets you remove the heads easily:  wrap a small strip of plumbers (teflon) tape around the threads of each head and hand-tighten them into place.  Plumbers tape does two things here:  first, it acts as a non-permanent threadlocker to provide friction between the threaded bits; secondly, it acts as a "shock" buffer between the threaded bits, absorbing some of the vibration cause by hammering so that this vibration doesn't cause the hammer heads to loosen.  Works for me.  The drift punch included in the hollow handle's stowage area is a nice plus, though it does rattle during use.  Handle grip is nice--a very grippy gnurling, though the handle is made of metal, so you have to be careful in some instances that you don't scratch what you are working on if the handle happens to graze it.  Overall, very satisfied with this item.
