    Kinda Frustrated With DIY Mechanics Tool Brand Selection

    Agree with SK. Used set of sockets and superchrome wrenches are available on eBay much cheaper than new. As for SK warranty I have never had an issue...mail them a cracked socket and they send you a new one...no questions asked.

    How about those old school flat ratchets...they were always to bulky to fit anyway...modern ratcheting wrench have made them totally obsolete. But I still have mine...all SAE.

    Proto 5450 and 5450XL

    I have a 5450 that I got from my grandfather back in 1987. It was well used then! It is still kicking...after being subjected to a cheater bar many times during suspension work. Never slipped on me. It is one of my favorite ratchets.

    Should I buy SK?

    SK sockets are great. Also love the superchrome wrenches. Warranty on ratchets is outstanding...Call and they ship a free rebuild kit. The only socket I ever had to warranty was a 3/8 drive 10mm that cracked...Mailed it in and had a new socket in less than a week.
