I’m looking forward to the reviews on the Wildcat XX. From the few I’ve spoke to that have driven it, they say it’s awesome, but most of those might be a bit biased as they are in the Robby camp. I’m surprised Joey is not going and that he is sending someone else? The long anticipated Wild Cat that we have all heard about for years! Maybe it’s a Polaris thing?
As far as tools, we used to build and supply all our chase crews with tool & pit boxes. After loosing Craftsman tools, we built the tool boxes using allot of HF/ Pittsburgh hand tools. I don’t remember a tool failure? Had a few ratchets that did not work real well, but getting dirt & sand in them was the real problem.
Years ago in the desert, sitting around the fire, one guy who was a guest of someone else’s in our group, was talking smack about HF tools and how it’s all China junk, and he said he would not use them if given free.
So the next day he breaks a stub axle bearing They limp it back to camp to change it out. On a VW trailing arm bearing housing you need snap ring pliers to pull a C clip to get the bearing out. He did not have snap ring pliers and was struggling using a screwdriver, which did not work. After spending several hours and giving up, he called it a day. The next day I let him barrow my HF snap ring pliers to fix it and get it on the trailer!
