Thanks regardless. I'll check them out.

Hey guys, which one would you all recommend based on the choices provided ?

Milwaukee has the slight advantage of having more bare tools available.

^^^ This.

While both are good tools, if you’re making that investment in cordless its best you go with the one that has more accessories and availability.

[Rovin]

both are very good brands & u cant go wrong with either but from what i noticed on youtube Mil is more popular among americans ...

Don't bother, checked them today, no more for sale, what they do have they are using for installs.
Amazon is your friend.

Allied had a cheap B&D for around $ 300 - $ 400 IIRC. It's light, but in the "orange" low end line so yuh getting what yuh pay for.

[adnj]

I believe that I bought some at Peake's Home Store in Port-of-Spain. SSL may have had them, too.

[Strugglerzinc]

Are BSP and NPT compatible? If you do find it, most likely will be NPT.

Diff breather install

Toyota puts shitty 1way cap-type valves on the breathers.
Bought a kit but it needed more pieces to do all 4 drivetain components.
Came with 4pieces of push-in fitting for the hose which can do only 2 drivetrain components.
I can do rear diff now as the fitting is the same threading as the stock diff breather. All the others have plastic hose barb types on the line run into the engine bay.
So i wanna replace all the 1way valves with a brass barb and screw in the push-in fittings and run the extended hose to the manifold with the breather.

So i got a piece of 3/16” flat aluminum.
Shaped it with a mini hacksaw, filed it, drilled the holes, threaded them, cut notches and did the bends on the bracket.

Will try to mount it tomorrow if time permits


Plz dont laugh at work,
And the fact that i drilled the holes off centre
:'(
