    First impression of ICON G2 ratchets

    I have the same thing happen with my 1/4 locking flex head Icon ratchet on occasion, a bit annoying but not the end of the world. Aside from that, the Icon G2 ratchets are really good.

    Auto mechs, how often do you use deep sockets? Would you miss them?

    Any info on the Daytona 6 ton jack stands

    There are two versions with the same SKU. Buy the ones with 24" maximum height, they have better build quality.
