Picked up 2 kits today. Seems that in some of the pictures, the tires are still contacting each other. Looks like I will still have to place cardboard or carpet in between. No big deal, just don't want the sidewalls touching each other.

I think those smaller discs are supposed to separate them.
I'm sure they won't touch with those Corolla rims

I see. I will try to set up my SRT-4 stock wheels in the afternoon.
COrolla wheels? Heh, not ever (as my daughter would say).

Well...just put the kit together. The only stupid part is having to hammer in the legs to the main "X" of the stand. Otherwise, it seems sturdy enough. I haven't pulled out the cover just yet - the tire bags cover 3 of the 4 tires. Just wish there was a pouch or something to put the centre caps

I just smacked the legs in against a carpet on the ground. My cover fits all four wheels. The centre caps, I just stored them in a ziploc bag, separate one for the lugs. Not a bad set up for $24.99.

I know a few guys on the job site who have that drill and really like it and for that price you cannot go wrong they basically have the same spec as the "better" brand dewalt and a lot cheaper dewalt impact drill

The better deal is to get the electric impact gun, that is if you have the place to plug it in. Much more powerful. And as we all know, "MORE POWER! UGH! UGH! UGH!" I used it doing my control arms and it was awesome. It usually comes on for $99 a few times during the year. Hard to argue with 250 ft/lbs without a compressor.

What's funny is it's on sale now for $99.90 but it's 228ft/lb
I bought the 3KO cordless because believe or not I don't own a cordless drill. I've electric everything.
This comes with drill bits, screw drivers and square adaptors. 1050 in/lb or 87.5 ft/lb
My mechanic buddies use em and love them. They told me worth the money.
Funny thing is when I went to CT they're listed on the shelves for $249.
I walked over to customer service and said are they on sale or not, because they are on the website.
She said that it's not listed on the computer and they don't have internet access, but believed
me enough to give it to me at $149.99.
I see nothing on the CT website for a start date of this sale. Other than last 4 day sale.
