Aircraft mechanic- mostly Snap-On with a bit of USA Craftsman thrown in (Offset box ends, sockets) Have a few channellock pliers that did me well but a couple are getting pretty worn. Toolbox is a Snap-On roller that I'll soon upgrade to a bigger Snap-On roller.

Generally speaking most aircraft use SAE hardware, the only one I've worked on that was metric was an A-star helicopter. I can't see them leaving SAE anytime soon, if ever.

I like: SK, USA made Cman pro, and Proto

But either way, I do like the feel of the real pros. Polished feels good to me.

^^Did you order them and get USA made ones? As far as I know what they do on the website is show the picture of the old USA made, real pro wrenches. This isn't the case anymore- "Pro" does not exist anymore and is now all made in China.

PM incoming

Would you ship to Canada? How much extra?

I like to use Snap-On. I hear Wiha and Matco are good too

350...I'd buy it in a heartbeat to add on to my roller. But I want blue!

Not in my garage, but at my old work I was in the rear cargo pit of a 737 and was just leaving for my break, so I was going kind fast out the door. Smashed my temple on a little hook that holds a nylon strap to secure the door when it's open and got knocked out cold. Buddy found me 15 minutes...

Hmm..didn't know there was really a difference between a Ford wrench and an adjustable/crescent. I've got a Craftsman set of adjustables in 6" 8" and 10". I guess a bigger one will be better on gear bolts and stuff.

Do you ship to Canada? I'm interested in those tiny craftsman wrenches.

I got a 7 piece snap-on angle wrench set. Apparently snap-on has the best angles.

So I take it a 1/4" drive set of u-joint sockets would be good to get? shallow or deep? I don't have those. I've got lockwire pliers, yup.

I'm an M class- dunno if you guys categorize it the same as in Canada, but I guess you would call it all around. There seems to be no end to the tools.
