A quick question for everyone, I have a rather extensive tool set from my career as an automotive technician. It was valued at a little over $60 grand for all power and hand tools,diagnostic stuff,snap on box,and shop equipment. My insurance agent wants to put it on a policy for full coverage...

Hey everyone! I was just looking for some suggestions for a set of stubby drill bits and a set of larger diameter drill bits beyond 1/2 inch. I would prefer a higher quality,USA made set. I currently have a snap on thunderbit set and a couple different Milwaukee sets.thanks for any input

Thanks for the information. I got spoiled in the mid 1990s while in trade school using USA made Craftsman stuff.when I graduated in 1998, I bought a very large Craftsman mechanics set which served me well while employed as an automotive technician. I still have the set at home for garage...

I am no longer a professional automotive technician. I do however perform lots of different repairs for myself and paying customers. I currently have a cranberry snap on krl 1001 with a stainless work top and matching cover. For a 16 year old box,the thing is in great condition. Unfortunately...

Item 9 is for popping out axle/CV shafts. 10 is a line pinch off tool.#11 I believe is a camshaft tool.

Tool truck drivers sell quality tools and provide a service by coming to your workplace. Harbor freight stuff shouldn't be in the same sentence with Mac, snap on,or matco tools.very low quality.

Craftsman and am leonard

Snap on flank drive plus combination wrenches are the best.

I have a good set of snap on green hard handle screwdrivers from the late '90s.I also have a set of craftsman that take a beating.

Harbor junk,craftsman, husky,and kobalt are fine for weekend warriors and guys starting out.I bought $4,000 worth of craftsman stuff when I started working as a service technician at a Ford dealer.as time went on,I quickly realized the value of a quality tool that removes a rusted fastener...
