The 18 volt Milwaukee cordless is what I have, too. I use a Snap-on bit, though. I forget what it cost; but it’s probably in the $35 range. No cheap; but it’s the best there is. Harbor Freight may have a great guarantee but sometimes, you would just rather get the job done, rather than go back to the store over and over. (Especially, in THESE times.) I also used Mapp gas on my salty FD exhaust bolts.

How do you like breathing muriatic acid fumes? I used some of that, to get what was left of a thrown Tecumseh snow blower engine connecting rod off a crankshaft. It works great; but, even outside with a light wind, I couldn’t believe how bad the fumes were!

Long live American manufacturing!
