You just had to go and do it.....there impact sockets do hold up well...being impacts dont care what brand...they all go to **** quickly enuff...but you just had to go ahead and do it and you even went further with a picture that aint blurry...splodin heads are surely occuring as i type this

Its almost time for a new post detailing how snap on will not survive the next decade...we do buy HF floor jacks...beat the snot out of them and then off to scrap...course they dont have a power cord

I have bought kobalt for when i need to bend the wrench to snake in to a bolt in a miserable location or cut up for my old utica torque wrench.(wrench heads) ...kobalt chrome finish seems a step above and they have gotten the job done....cant complain especially when i crank open the blow torch...

For stuff we beat to death then yes...use many cheap screwdrivers as chisels and prybars....for when it matters i break,out the starett and snappy stuff....my 50+ year old craftsman stuff i have just waxed up and use now for talking points when we start arguing over why anybody would not buy...

I have a buddy (kid really - gave me a free blue top optima so hafts to like him) thats an ace diesel mechanic with $200k of tools on his truck...he buys only HF impact sockets...my kid is a fabricator (off road custom builder) and he buys HF impact sockets..they have held up to extreme...

In 1980 i lost (or so he says) my dads snap on 3/8 ratchet he bought in the 60's...he paid 25clams for replacement and i never heard the end of it....i was also blamed i let his allstate jack box ourside (if tool came in a box he kept the box) but he was the last one using it..id give my right...

How the hell can the chinesse fork lift driver run into a box and not leave a hole is magical...my bottom tray was crushed....went with a black bottom tray (HF repkacement) and it looks great on my green tool cart

Did you order repair kit?....when it breaks can you take to koken truck and get free replacement.....snap on is high dollar and there screwdrivers do ****...never did like them...but its 2 days for me for a repair kit and i just turned in a 25plus year old black hard handled screwdriver that was...

Only tool that fits the narrative i have ever felt comfortable using more then once is the Whia bit driver and the Vessel.....nice strong magnets in both and the handles feel like they should feel....Vessel bits are a class above everything else i have ever tried....

Who in there right mind would use a 12inch bar on a 24inch diameter tree???...well ok i have seen stranger things....80clam snappy ratchet used as a hammer so i get your point...the lite weight echo works dam nice for its intended purpose and it does not beat you to death....its a good choice...

Its not the slides..its the box....photo elucidates how to check box to see if it is square....mesaure corners in such a manner and u will may be need another person/wife to assist...superlube is only stuff i use on any slide

Yea,,,add me to that list...they replaced a busted tool with no questions asked....the kobalt wrenches i would cut and reform for a particular need....seemed to hold up well even after that abuse....always thought chrome finish was excellent as well.....have not bought craftsman line tool in years

Im a huge fan of the small-lite weight echo chain saws......awesome small saw for smallish trees....stihl hands down fir everything else

Do a quick measure to determine how square the box truly is...its not your the drawer.. box more than likely is not precisly square...i can post a pic if you need a visual
