What's the difference between this and the knockoff scangrip I got for $50 on amazon? I can still find swirls and paint correct. I do all my work in my apartment outdoor parking lot in the shade.

u/wbgraphic · 7 pointsr/whatisthisthing

Like /u/billysastards suggests, it's a load for a Powder Actuated Fastening Tool.

Guy at my work bought something like this from Matco recently. I'm really curious if it works

u/CoolGuyZ71 · 5 pointsr/AutoDetailing

I was recommended this and this when I asked this similar question a few days ago. Click my username to find the link.

Looks exactly like this power actuated tool

Not really an answer for your question, but for attaching studs to a concrete floor, one of these will probably be much easier and just as effective: http://www.amazon.com/Desa-International-78708-Powerhammer-Fastening/dp/B00098407W

I grabbed mine at lowes. Just get the correct charge size.

u/fuckchalzone · 2 pointsr/TheWire

Whoops, I spelled it wrong, it's Hilti

Normal scratches that shouldn't be there should be easy to see without any inspection light. If your expectations are that the paint will be flawless and you won't accept anything less, I'm sorry but that is not realistic. Yes it's a new car. Yes you probably waited a long time. But realistically, there are high end car makers who's cars ship from the factory with holograms and micro marring.

This is the light I use:
Astro Pneumatic Tool 50SL Sunlight 400 lm CRI 97 Rechargeable Handheld Color Match Light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CHP76CU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3S43AbYARM735

It's better than some random LED light you'd find at Home Depot, but not as expesive as a scangrip.

u/ArchieTect · 2 pointsr/flashlight

Astro Pneumatic makes lights for the auto industry.

This one is perfect for you,

https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-Tool-65SL-Rechargeable/dp/B01JBJVC1Q/

but they have others if very high CRI (color rendering) is important:

https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-Tool-50SL-Rechargeable/dp/B01CHP76CU/

That has 97CRI, which is practically as high as the flashlight industry makes at the current time.

You can use a powder actuated hammer to put nails into the walls.

I’ve purchased about 4 or 5 Astro Pneumatic lights from Amazon. They work really well and the battery lasts quite a while. They have a magnetic base and they’re rechargeable. The old version is about $60 and the new one is about $80.

u/Gummybear_Qc · 1 pointr/AutoDetailing

Would this do? It's in my upper max budget range... 80$ for a damn light ouch. Astro Pneumatic Tool 50SL

u/DetailsForFun · 1 pointr/AutoDetailing

Just used the Astro Pneumatic Tool 50SL.

100% recommend.

EDIT: Only about $60 on Amazon.

This picture?

There were a lot of deeper scratches in the paint. I didn't have the time to go after all of them either.

I have a Nikon D5100 and I was using this light, not my phone.
