    what brought you over to the dark side ?

    When I was working under the instrument panel of a Piper Warrior I realized the snap on 4 way angle wrench would be 10x better than working with my craftsman RP wrench. Just recently got a snap on 1/4 drive snap on ratchet, now I need a 3/8 drive, so it has begun!

    File brands

    Looking for a file set with different files, flat, half round, round, etc. Wanting to know some recommendations on some good American made files. I've seen the Nicholson files on Amazon, but noticed in the reviews people say they aren't American made anymore. Thanks for any input!

    Looks like you have already made your decision, but I will just throw my 2 cents into the pot: I have the LED Lenser M7R rechargeable flashlight. It is more than bright enough for my daily activities when I am inspecting A/C and need a good bright light, etc. (I work on GA aircraft). It is...
