I bought an ICON 25" digital torque wrench. Much improvement over my 18" clicker.
already have a Harbor Freight 20 ton press. it was getting lonely so I bought it a companion.
the HF one has the top beam welded on so the width is fixed.
the new one is completely bolt together which means I can swap in a much wider beam and extend the legs
to make a gantry crane. with proper bracing of course.
already have a chain hoist.
the uprights are 100mm channel and the price was about what some steel would have cost.
it's 59" which taller than most.
price delivered & taxed was about $35 less than a HF inside track price.
UPS even delivered it ahead of schedule while going thru that hurricane.

cheapest one on Amazon, don't expect miracles from the drill chuck.
otherwise it does drill holes in heavy plate. that's my welding table, putting some threaded holes in for clamps.
the instructions translation is hilarious, includes butter for lube and cookie dough for something.

Dad called the color choice "neurotic."
Whether or not hes correct, it suits me just fine.

- Alas poor Toonces; I knew him well.
That is nice!
I didn't know that Frigidaire made tool boxes . . .
Could I get a set just like that, in Avocado or Harvest Gold?

If they had those or Seafoam green, I would have been in.
Also just for that, I may try to track down some old Frigidaire nallme plates. Would be funny.
