Big Proto fan here. Love the new ratchets and you can't beat the prices with the Zoro discount. Although, I do have a favorite SK 1/4" impact set (shallow, deep and swivel) that is a match made in heaven with the M12 impact. Just get the best of both and be happy!

Doing a suspension upgrade and looking for a good press combo to replace bushings. I know it's a ball joint press, but will it do bushings also? Also looked at the Schely kit, but would like a C-press. Thanks!

I have weigh and SO. Bought the SO of the 'long pattern'. Really like the Wright. HJE has good prices...

I went with Wright, Proto, Sk, Channel Lock and others. Slowly adding some Snap-On. I tried the best I could to stay American made on the hand tools. ...I put them all in my Harbor Freight box.

Proto?

Hammers, pin puller, punch set and my 3/8 Proto sockets (deep, standard and swivel)

I left the garage while it was doing the burn in. I may build a sound box or wall to put it behind if it gets too bad.

New toys: Also got the top for my 44" box: Used the floor foam to make cut-out for my top drawer: Ran the compressor through the break-in procedure today and attached all the high-flow fittings to run my impact. Did the foam cut-out and waiting for the rest of my 3/8 drive stuff to show up...

I have a 3/8" ratchet just for the bit sets and other things. Just don't have the full socket set. I have overlap from 10mm to 15mm between my 1/4 and 1/2.

Home hobbyist. Have a few Toyotas and the kids cars I help with, along with all the mowers. I have been putting together a tool set and I need some advice. So far, I've put together a Proto 1/4" drive and 1/2" drive set. Thought maybe that would do it all and I'd skip the 3/8" set. Now I'm...
