The black and chrome unit is what we used for everyday hardware... 1-1/2" drive and about 75 lbs. For the big stuff out came BIG BERTHA... 3-1/2" drive Ingersoll Rand. All I can find is a quick link to edog. This is 3-1/2" drive... yes, the numbers are real! For the "TUFF" stuff we'd call in an outfit that use a 100 ton hydraulic wrench. ws https://www.ebay.com/itm/383160750510
Got tendonitis of the wrist from days of sandblasting the frame and chassis parts of my gs. Lasted almost a year. Wiped out l4 and l5 breaking down parts cars and trucks and man handling buick parts like clint Eastwood in "any which way but loose". Got bilateral epicondilitis coaching kids base ball. Right elbow first then left. Months of cortisone shots and pt and electropherisis. Almost a year healing from that too. It sucked and hurt like hell . now hands cramping up at times doing detail work. Getting old sucks. After a honest day of work everything hurts. Vitimin i washed down with Budweiser works wonders on this old worn out body.
Warning! Gentlemen, please, please, please consider all alternative therapies before getting even one Cortizone injection. Even one injection leads to irreversible damage to cartilage. https://www.caringmedical.com/prolotherapy-news/alternative-cortisone-shots-knee/
Pat and I order it by the GALLON... is it really a part of that conspiracy too??? Name the joint and its been poked. ws
I have hand nerve issues from years of working on cars bicycles and car stereos. My right hand will lock up if I use my hands strenuously for too long. Well I did compound fracture my forearm once too. I don't think that is a big part of it though.
I got tennis elbow from trying to start the nut on the power terminal on the starter solenoid on my Buick. Major pain. Massage therapy turned the trick to getting full use of my right arm again.
I feel lucky. At 58, my ankles give me more grief than anything. I messed them both up over the years on dirt bikes and now they are weak. If I step sideways wrong, I can pop it and it hurts pretty bad. I was blessed to have worked a computer desk job for the last 40 years. No carpal tunnel from that. I've only worked on my own cars, trucks, bikes and home. I've done some for my daughter and a few good friends but largely nothing more than a few aches and pains. I barely took anything for pain. The pain wears off quickly enough and I've not taken so much as a Tylenol or Advil in over a month and that was for a headache.
