PM me a price. I have no idea how much the material or machine time, not to mention your time, costs, but I'm interested in getting one if they aren't too expensive.
Just scored one of these from my Snap on guy. Probably make most of my money back in beers from my friends in rental fees. Works awesome. It's a nice unit
30 bucks shipped
Do you have a way to enlarge your cognito brace hole? I had to drill mine out to 1.125, that way it ensured the nut had .100 wall thickness for threads. If that makes sense. If you can't, ship me yours and I'll do it. And for anyone else I need to know if you plan on running the braces because that changes things a little.

I actually added another to the favorite tool list. To anyone who has ever done a track bar balljoint on a superduty ford knows EXTREMELY pain is the a$$ they are. A normal balljoint service kit does not have a wide enough mouth to service this joint, and beating it out can be pretty tiring. This kit retails for high $7xx's and caught it on sale a few weeks ago for $625 so i decided to get it as im growing bigger in a shop. It fit perfect, has clips that hold all the adapters in place, and took longer to figure out which adapter to use than it did to press the old one out. Absolute must have for front end work

Just picked this up today. I popped 2 lug nuts off with it just to test it out. I can already tell, I'm in love.

Two newer tools I've picked up recently, that turned out to be definitely worth the money.
First one is a set of ratcheting hose clamp pliers. Pretty self explanatory but very awesome for the factory GM coolant hose clamps.
Second one is a tap extractor. I was tapping holes on the side of a block for an HSP twin kit mount this weekend and broke a tap off below flush in the side of the block. Called my Snap On guy to go warranty the tap and he showed me the tap extractor. I'd never seen one before. The little fingers go down into the flutes of the tap and then you cinch the collar down and thread it back out. Needless to say, it saved my ass.

No more frustrating straight blade screwdriver to remove push pins, could have used them when I replaced the radiator bushings on the Wife's Honda CRV. Had to remove the front fascia and Honda is generous with the push pins. I can get to all the fender liner pins on my truck and not have to turn the tires....

My favorite tools aren't mine, but they are literally push pin pliers and hose clamp pliers lmao both snap on. But my most favorite is probably my stainless credit card bottle opener, don't get much done without that:spit:
