18v is the way to go on cordless stuff in general. For impacts, though, I use air tools. Thanks, Harbor Freight.

Good Sunday, Mr. Kenchan!!!

hello, mr.onzedge!

yah, our HOA prohibits the use of air tools or any commercial tool use so i need to rely on electric tools. it's the noise associated with the pump and impact noise. our community hates people that work on cars... basically if they find an immobile car on the driveway due to work-in-progress with no wheels, etc they will send warnings. then fine.

part of living in a community that likes to be clean. the good is we never have to see rusty garbage parked in the visitors lots (will be towed immediately), no commercial vans on driveways, etc. so it's okay by me.

ive personally reported ugly cars to be towed if they sit there more than 2-3 days without a permit.

We do not have an HOA in our neighborhood; even so, everyone takes a good amount of pride in appearances. We live in a part of Sacramento that is very old and kind of tucked away -- most houses were built in the 20's and 30's with our house built in 1938.

The main problem we have is with "outsiders" iusing our streets as shortcuts and driving way too fast on our narrow streets. I am pretty sure if folks were doing car work out front of their homes regularly, or leaving non-operational cars laying about -- peer pressure would be applied first.

Luckily I have a concrete pad between the house and the garage so none of our car repairs/mods/maintenance is visible, really.

OK I am rambling now so I am done.

Z work today = nada.

good to hear you have no issue with working on your cars. as long as i keep the car im working on inside the garage HOA doesn't seem to care....although ive had a couple of nosy newb members come up to my garage with their stupid clipboards and nitpick i was doing car work commercially, etc. which i wasn't.

our community was lucky enough to stop the village from connecting our side street to the adjacent 4lane road so we dont have people cutting through our neighborhood...well, usually. they come and find it's a deadend and u-turn back. i stare at them with a look.
