Exactly! Green or chrome, same difference.
I guess we know who is sponsoring a GJ give away don't we.
I sometimes I wish my money could come back, Like for the Snap-ON torx drive sockets. I got blindsided by the salesman on this set. He knew I didn't want to spend that much money, but when I got my bill, it was to late.

Wow, can anyone compete with the drawer full of money? I don't even pretend to.

They're all drawers full of money, that one just cut out the middle man.

Ha ha, I wonder what you do at work.
I cap muppets and make them look like fools !
yep all custom paintball guns two stock class and 3 open class 12 gram guns.
rgates' wrench drawers:
Is that the full 3/8" - 2" set of SO 4-way angle wrenches??
Yes , that is the complete SO angle wrench set.
I will try to take some shots this weekend. Anything in particular that you want to see or want me to focus on?

The wrench drawer was way up there on the list, but the day the excess tools were sold that drawer became my favorite!
So you got three grand out of them?

I some questions about your SK long reach flex wrenches. I have the 75 deg deep offset ones and don't really like the way the handle tapers in the middle like an hourglass. Do the long reach wrenches have the same shape or are they straight the whole way? About the flex feature - do the heads flop around easily? Is there a screw or pin holding them? Do you have a lot of confidence in cranking on them or are they mostly for use after a bolt is busted loose? Sorry for the interrogation but I am considering that set for someday. Thanks and nice drawers
!the proto wrenches are beautiful. I have a single double box wrench and it has a real classy finish. I wouldn't mind seeing more of those.

They are straight the whole way. The handles on these are also more rounded on the edges rather than squared like the short flex and deep offset wrenches. They are very comfortable and my favorites of the bunch. The flex head is held by a pin but the heads are nice and tight without being too difficult to adjust. I imagine the tension is created by a spring/washer set up that is found in most flex ratchets. It should take a long, long time to wear the joints out. I do have confidence wrenching on them pretty hard. They are no substitute for a 24'' breaker bar, but I do not baby them by any means. These see more torque than any of my other ratcheting wrenches. And I have a ton of styles and brands...Gearwrench, Craftsman, Armstrong, short, standard, long, extra long, etc. Sometimes they are the only wrench that will fit, so they are forced to break fasteners loose. Let me know if you have more questions.
Yeah, the chrome is second to none on these. I will get some good close up shots this weekend. My Proto sockets are just as good. There is a shot of my 3/8'' deep sets (1/4-7/8'' and 6-22mm) in the photo with the Armstrong ratchets.

Thanks for the review - I'll have to keep those on my wishlist until I find $150...

Through their R&D, the flex joint coped with 20,000 swings without a hitch, and the ratcheting mechanism is one the strongest, if not the strongest in the industry. A non-reversing, 72-tooth, 24mm rat. wrench will withstand up to 488ft-lb of torque, exceeding ANSI's standard of 376ft-lb. A 16mm with the same configuration will take 253ft-lbs before the handle starts to bend (without breaking the mechanism). So, you can bet they will handle initial loosening and final tightening.
Box ends, beam width, offset...Thanks! Like I said in the other thread, I was planning on getting some SO XB series 10 degree offset box/box...they have a nice beam and feel great in the hand. But the protos caught my eye and look very nice.

nissan crawler,
I spot something in your pictures I recognize. The old yellow box - Chapman Tool. Not many people have that mini ratchet set. I thougth I was the only one. Good old Chapman Tool - a very small and surviving American maker of mini tools.

How so? are you happy with your tools? Do they do everything you demand of them? If so I see no reason you should in anyway.
