Seized fasteners are never a fun thing to deal with, but so far the EXD35 has made them a bit less painful in my shop. You’ve got three good options for seized fastener removal: cobalt left-handed drill bits, fluted extractors, and multi-spline extractors. Each has shown to be useful in specific situations, but the price can be a little hard to swallow.
I do not care for the SnapOn MTTL7006 backprobes. I picked up a set thinking that they would become my go-to for back-pinning connectors, which we do quite frequently at my shop.

After falling in love with my CT725, I figured that I would get a ratchet with similar qualities and that would allow me access to tighter spaces. Boy was I mistaken. As fine polished as the CT725 is, I must say that the CTR761A is not.
Tools are great and all, but where would we be without the people who help us find them, help us afford them, and ultimately put them in our hands?

Wish they made a holster for it so that I could carry it in public, show it off some, and maybe even help out someone in need. This is my first cordless impact and has become my go-to tool for every teardown project. If you’ve been on the fence about getting a cordless impact, have been wondering which one to get, or are just now learning that they make such a thing, then I do not see you going wrong with this one.
My current torque wrenches of choice. Easy-to-use, accurate, fast, and finely polished. They offer the same aspects that you would expect to find with other electronic torque wrenches, but with a little bit more thought put into the use of some of the features.
