I got an Email from Snap On regarding this and I jumped all over it. I've been using Craftsman torx and while they don't seem that good I could not justify the expense. However, throw in 2 free ratchets and it's "game on". Is Snap On going to start stamping USA again on the ratchets? I won't...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Most likely cause to your fuel line issue was ethanol gas. Ethanol is wreaking havoc on small engines. My advice to you is if the saw is to be stored for awhile use a product like Trufuel for storage. Whenever I lay my saws up I drain the gas run...

I was lucky enough to find the USA made full polish sets in both sae and metric last year so I purchased them. They seem like good quality and I'm happy with them. I doubt you will find a USA made set nowadays but if you do I would buy it asap.
