    That’s not entirely accurate, you just have the imported generic version of the Snap on tool.

    Stanley is stopping making tape measures in the USA.

    People don’t care about quality, only quantity. They would rather get the cheap tools and be balling out.

    Bauer or ryobi for seldom used cordless tools?

    If you like your Milwaukee tools, then get the Ryobi. Both owned by the same parent company, Techtronic industries. They have owned Milwaukee since 2005.

    Icon G2 Ratchets vs Snap On

    I could make the same argument for the HF humpers. At the end of the day, buy what you like, let the other guy buy what he likes, and STFU about it.

    How much is cost a factor in your hand tool purchasing decision?

    I’m going to buy the best tool I can, and keep it until I die. I’m not going into the twilight of my life with a garage of cheap tools, I‘ll get them now and enjoy them. Seems superficial when I type it, but I’m happy, bills are all paid, wife doesn’t complain.

    Interest free financing up to 3 years on tools!

    It’s almost as awesome as the credit card companies and insurance companies that have been ripping us off for years. Do we admire them as well?

    18th Annual GJ Secret Santa - 2025!

    Arrived back home to a second Secret Santa gift. Now I have to wait twice as hard until Christmas! Altogether the wife did open the first one that said open immediately, but wouldn’t let me peek inside. She made sure whatever it was inside was OK. I think she like to torment me.
