///M5

This is what I carry now:

Those are gorgeous though and I love the idea.

If they are actually a good as the reviews say so. It sounds like they are.They are better than most reviews IMHO. I think the biggest problem for most would be weight. I don't walk miles with it, and if I did, I use the shoulder strap. The biggest praise I can give a product is that it gets out of my way. That bag does exactly that. And of course weight is a big deal to some. Personally I buy a bag based on configuration first then weight. Has to look at least reasonable though and be of quality to last. ....but my needs are different. I schlep my bag miles on some days. When I travel I walk a ton and carry my shit with me all the time. If I only ran bag and forth to the office it would be a completely different set of needs. Same reason I bought an ultrabook for a computer which btw was the best decision computerwise I've ever made. Next PC will be like the Yoga/SurfacePro as lighter is better for me although a high resolution 13" screen is a pre-requisite as anything smaller deflates its use IMO.

Hell, give it suicide doors and call it the SVT Continental. I'd want it.

And while yes it looks like a car, I think it has the potential to be better than the 2000ish bm'ers M5 - The whole screen under the vents is a problem...

While that partly looks better, my eyes are all googly from reading everything backwards

I was going to mention that it was ugly and that the Taurus is nicer looking, but you reminded me that it's what's on the inside that counts. Indeed. This isn't great, but a Lincoln version of it surely could be And then adding the v8, ah yeah!

It is an art just to sort your tools once, keeping them organized....awesome.

HBD!

If my garage were wider there would be one in it. Already have 12' ceilings.

And I like fast. Much rather adapt to that than slow.

I don't have a flex head period so that fits even better

I suggest grabbing a 3/8 impact set. You will lose fairly significant torque through the adapter. With that said, I do have to adapt it up for axle nut sockets (they can range from 29mm to 36mm sockets) and I am successful with this set up 90% of the time... with a 10 year old gun, no less. Again, be aware that this gun is super fucking fast. If you are not careful you will lose control of lug nuts and scratch your wheels. Definitely gave me the list, but I was looking for the first one to buy: ie, go to. FHLF80 it is. I do have a metric 3/8 set, but not an SI. Metric should cover most of what I do....but will add if necessary. Thanks!!

It doesn't have enough power, but add a 1/2" socket wrench to crack things loose and it can cover most of what I need to do. For convenience though I'd like a real impact. The more I think about the light 3/8" 2115 the more I like it.

As long as you get one for impact. Already have a set of those. Most of the impact work I do I use a cheap 1/4" impact driver that came with a set of Ridgid tools. Their lifetime battery replacement sold me on the tools as I've retired my Makitas due to shot batteries.

Of course most of my impact sockets are 1/2" but I assume using a step up adapter won't be an issue.

I still use a 231 that I bought 25 years ago. I had to replace the anvil because it got torn off removing a crank bolt from a Honda. While it is listed with modest torque, my 25 year old hoss out muscles every 213x I have seen for tough removal or even starting crush sleeves on differential rebuilds. I do understand the newer 231s are not as strong, but I have nothing bad to say about the performance of my unit.... Negs? Loud as fuck and quite heavy for a 1/2" I do have a Mac branded 2115 (3/8) that I use for most chores, including wheel removal, axle nuts, crank bolts, etc. With ~300 lbft of muscle, it does most of what I need. It is super light, and quiet. Negs? Sometimes it is too fast, I have torn the anvil off the thing 5 times in the 10 years I have owned it, and it is far more expensive than the 231. For me, being that it is in use a lot, the light weight is worth the money as it reduces fatigue. If the 2115 works for you on wheels it would be better for me as the times I need more are so rare I can just grab a breaker bar.

I have a 3/8" impact that has taken over for 90% of all impact work I do. Just want something beefy for when I do something else. The Mak, I'd end up getting pissed at in 5 years when the batterys were shot. Have a retractable air hose and air on demand so a lower cost impact won't piss me off that much. You need to be shopping Sioux. First time I've heard of them.

I use a Mac AR1776. It is the big bodied version of their pawl style air ratchet. I got tired of replacing my SO FAR7000 every 2 years. Rebuilds on air ratchets rarely yeild good power, so I just bought new ones. I grabbed the Mac because I was pissed that another SO failed, and have used it for ~10-12 years now. FWIW, though, I rarely use air ratchets. I prefer hand tools. Thanks! I actually meant which 3/8" hand tool ratchet is your go to. I have my core of tools now set, but want to buy the one I actually use 90% of the time

Most importantly RWD and a modular 8

Previous gen: Upcoming

But seriously, how could Ford not win ALL taxi and police orders if they brought the Falcon over?

No you wouldn't. You'd find a reason(s) not to buy it, mull over it for months, go off in another direction, THEN come back to the Falcon. . . . . . . . . AND still not buy it. If I fit well I think that wouldn't be the case

I'd buy one pronto and stop the mod madness on the Esky and pu t it in the sedan
