Sunex 3569 is a pretty comprehensive set. Another option too consider

And the m12 is even better with 4.0 or 6.0 batteries

Neither ratchets are impacting. They do make a right angle impact though

Klein is the standard as far as electrician's tools. There are others such as Greenlee or Idea that make similar at a lower price point.

I got the same set. It seemed substantially cheaper to buy the set with the swivels rather than sockets and swivels separately.

I don't have a 6.0 battery. Got a bunch of 2's and 4's with kits. A full 2 will take them off as long as they are not over torqued. Just seems to take a couple seconds longer over a 4. You might get a bit more power and definitely longer run time out of the bigger 6.0 but I can't justify the...

I used the 3/8" to remove lugs on my ram 1500 4x4 no problems. Seems to hit faster with the 4.0 instead of the 2.0 battery. Awesome little gun

Crappy tire has really gone down hill on quality over the years. Used to be there maximum line was pretty decent and getting it on the revolving sales was a good bang for the buck.

I have the 3 ton from Canadian tire. Normally $200 and it is on sale right now for $120. Definitely better and lighter ones but a solid option.

Wire wheels work well. Just make sure you get one rated for the speed or rpm of your grinder.

I picked up a set in both crowfoot and flare nut style from titan. They are made in Taiwan. One of those things that I don't need them but could definitely see an occasion where they would be very handy. Decent quality but not going to spend the money for a high quality set that maybe gets...

I hear you on the gimmick comment. Fact is 90% of most things can be done with a standard wrench and socket set. I have mainly gearwrench, craftsman and mastercraft (rebranded GW a canadian thing) Find myself using stubbies, flex and the xl zero offset the most. For convenience and speed...

I would stay away from aftermarket batteries, normally you don't get the rated power out of them. Which homedepot? Kms tools in BC had the kits with a 2.0 and two 4.0 batteries for $289

My thought would be a full set unless you are limited on space and or weight. That capri set looks interesting, no clue how they hold up. Very impressed with the vim sets I have used though

totally understand you wanting new school. Would be interested in what you end up with and how you like them. Especially after a bit of use.
