    Good swivel socket set? chrome not impact

    The current production run is Apex (taiwan) and should be just about the same as GW. Maybe not as my gearwrench are china. As far as the impact sockets go they wont fit where i need them too. I'd like the snap on's but 40 bucks each is out of my range.

    Socket organizers

    The magnetic mechanics time savers. Expensive but by far the best in my opinion. The ease of use is what makes the difference for me atleast. I used hansons, it was rare but if i tipped one over in the drawer i spent a few minutes cleaning it up, when you grab a socket you have to go straight...

    Gearwrench long hex ball bit sockets, anyone else have problems with them

    I may have a bad batch. I have all 3 sets the metric, and standard long ball ends, and the torx. The torx have been great (have to use them on hex fasteners the ball ends wont take out). The ball end sets both purchased months apart from 2 different stores, seem to be either soft or sized...

    What happened to Sears tools?!!

    You should stick to selling pro form and nordictrack.....and if your 991 merchandise is being sold as described you should bring it up with a district manager in private.... whoever is taking 10% off retail on sears branded products for 991 has no idea what they are doing. The craftsman lineup...
