    KABO COMPILATION: spline extra long flex ratcheting double box wrench

    Never said they did. My SAE set came from Carlyle at to be completely honest a bit of an exorbitant price tag.

    Most comfortable work boots?

    Mine has been in my hands since I turned 31... Went a year in complete hell before the Dr figured it out. My feet hurt from time to time. Like you I've found that really it's changing out the footbeds very regularly that does the most difference. Or as of late swapping boots every day between...

    KABO COMPILATION: spline extra long flex ratcheting double box wrench

    Not sure where in Iowa you are but take yourself over to the old Hobo Freight. My Icon set has been running good for over a year now. I'm a mechanic running a service truck in the mining industry. I've been impressed with them so far.

    Astro Nano Sockets

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. But the Husky brand from what I can tell is the same as Astro. I've got the 3/8 and 1/2 set from HD for... I think 145$?

    Stanley is losing money. Costs and products will be cut.

    The MAC line needs some heavy-duty work as far as truck lines go. Can't seem to ever get a consistent one in our area. A truck full of Proto would have a hard time not making money in our area. Lots of want for it especially since the fall of SK.

    ICON vs SUNEX

    One of our newer techs at another branch just dog piled his box full of the entire Icon line. I was out there helping for a week recently. Only issue I see is skipping 24mm in the impact line.
