Think I have about 8. Only use three of them. Armstrong Maxx 3/8 locking flex head with Gearwrench 84 tooth rebuild kit in it, SK 1/4 standard head, and SK 1/2 standard head. Three greatest ratchets ever built in my opinion.

I have this ratchet and it is by far my favorite. It comes in either 60 tooth or 88. I bought might right before they started the 88 tooth design, so I have the old version. All I did was spend 15 bucks on the 88 tooth rebuild kit and upgraded mine to it that way. Matco and Gearwrench...

I really am impressed with the new SK customer service as well. The other day snapped the end off of a 3/8 breaker bar that was probably close to 50 years old. They don't even make the tool any more. I sent it in, and one week later, I got a brand new breaker bar, no questions asked. Combine...

i am looking or a good set of Snappy Wobble Plus right now. I have so many extensions it drives me nuts, so I am buying that set, giving all that it replaces to my younger brother, and then I should be set for the rest of my life. May need to pick up an extra long set from HF at some point for...

I had never used a "high end" tool really, but when my grandpa died I reached in his box and grabbed a ratchet I had always seen him using. SK 45170. Been hooked every since.

I really like SK stuff. Still trying to determine the qulity of the new stuff they are putting out, but other than my original Craftsman 400 piece set I first got when I started wrenching, I own (by far) more SK than anything else. Gearwrench is slowly creeping up into contention though...

My favorite brand of Ratchet has always been SK. I think they shine especially will in the 1/2 inch size. The raw power that those things can handle is really pretty incredible in my opinion. Take a look at them. Used on Ebay you can pick them up for like 20 bucks and I really don't think you...

Thanks for all of the info. I think I am going to pull the trigger on this set. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002STULU/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Thanks again.

Always been a fan of SK tools. Great quality USA made tool and a decent price. I am looking to buy my first full set of Metric Flare Nut Wrenches and a lot of you say that if you have ONE thing in your box that is Snap-On, make it a line wrench. My question is whether or not the SK quality...

This I can attest to. I was a manager there for 4 years and it really is pretty insane what I would see guys doing. None of them have any fear of discipline because the Teamsters really have UPS by the you know what, and therefor the associates do WHATEVER they want with no concern for the...

Anyone?

Gents, I need a full set of 1/2 drive 6 point metric deep sockets. I am not a brand specific guy, just looking for quality tools at a quality price. Also looking for standard sizes but not as important. Let me know what you have!!!! Thanks!!

I have broken two things in the last 5 years. First was about a year ago, a Craftsman 1/2 drive teardrop ratchet, I was in a tight spot and the plastic (don't get me started) directional changer bumped against something and snapped off. I only use SK 1/2 inch ratchet now. Second was...

I am just a DIY'er and don't have many sockets larger than 27MM. Just an axle socket set really. I just store them off to the side and not on any rale. I have the Kobalt metric and standard socket post and I love them. Have a set of 12pt and 6 pt in each drive size and I couldn't be happier...

Crazy that this deal is still around. I just picked up the Metric and SAE sets for 49.98. Also threw in 7 oil filters at an average of 2 dollars a piece to bring the total up to qualify for free shipping. One of the best deals I have seen!!!!
