2-1/4 Wright socket I found on the side of the road. 3/4 Matco extendable ratchet from my father-in-law, HE found it on the side of the road. Armstrong and Proto tools from the Army, was told to clean out a locker was told to toss everything in it and was able to walk out with nearly a full...

Jobsmart from Tractor supply has served me well for the past few years. Ratchets are decent and hold up well enough, i've used and abused their six point sockets and they haven't failed yet. Pro-Grade from Rural King, they have decent wrenches and overall a decent set line-up, though my local...

Couple guys have them at work including myself, one guy has had his set for 10 plus years and has only replaced one bit.

When i was in the Army, some GMTK were Proto, so my guess is they will probably switch fully to Proto.

even so the 1/4 is almost a $100 The ONLY way i can see a place buying these and issuing it them out to their mechanics is the military.

Is there something I am missing here? Proto is probably my favorite tool company but i can not justify the price of these. Anyone have one that can give a little info on em? Are they worth the money? https://www.zoro.com/proto-hand-ratchet-12-drive-25-1316-l-j5426htc/i/G8482376/

but in all seriousness. My dad isn't one to work on cars, maybe because he doesn't have the time for it, working two jobs, however...he is great at working on lawn mowers and weed eaters. He has a mixture of craftsman and junk. He used to have Craftsman, SK and some Proto but unfortunately my...

I knew that the workbench didn't stay clean for long and it was the main reason we had multiple sets.

Millwright is an umbrella term. Can be someone that does installation, rigging, or maintenance, all the same. I work in a food facility, it's a very clean environment for the most part. Mainly battling rust due to the fact that everything is wet.

https://www.mscdirect.com/FlyerView?contentPath=/sales-catalogs/metalworking MSC is probably one of my favorite places to go through, they run good deals and some bonuses. Bought a Wiha screwdriver set and got a free t-shirt and catalog.

This was at work with my supervisor about 2ft away. Went to use the lathe to clean up a shaft and was in a hurry. Use the the t-wrench to tighten the chuck down and tell my supervisor to start it while i grab the sandpaper. He starts the lathe and bam, I get a nice shot from the t-wrench into...

My ATD 70401 and my pocket tools on top, currently working in a Food Facility where we make Bacon. Sorry for upside down photos, something is wrong with my camera.

Second the 3/8 Fuel, bought one for work, didn't need the 1/2 with all the stainless steel bolts.

Ever since i discovered Zoro i have been ordering tools left and right. Mainly Proto with the occasional SK or Blackhawk. I believe it is easiest sight to use when ordering tools. Last night i ordered the Proto 10 piece hex bit sockets in standard and metric, (the full length set with the blow...
