    SK compared to the big 3's 2nd tier tools?

    Tool Theft

    I have worked with dens of snakes, and if anything was left unattended it was expected to vanish, and was considered my fault? Glad for the most part not to be in that environment anymore.

    New maintenance mechanic in need of tool advice.

    An older than me gent once said, buy cheep stuff to get started, replace what you break, bend or destroy with better stuff. Served me well. If you hang around this place, you will go broke, lol But have the best tools around at the best price point you can afford. I have learned a ton here.

    SK compared to the big 3's 2nd tier tools?
