I know that I'm no expert. And I don't go around saying I am. I'm trying to learn. I'm currently attending MMI (motorcycle mechanics institute) all I'm trying to do is get a set of decent micrometers that are fairly accurate to practice using them and get efficient enough to where I feel...

I'm going to be using them for motorcycle measurements. Pistons, cylinders, valves, etc.

What is a good reliable brand that won't break the bank? SPI? Fowler?

I'm looking for some good mechanic quality ratcheting wrenches. What is everyone's experiences/input with them? What do you recommend?

Everything at lowes in China or Taiwan. It's good stuff for home use, I still prefer all american made stuff and for my job I need high quality stuff. I have a nice kobalt socket set I got on Black Friday for 20 bucks though. Great for around the house. The original cost was 50-60 heck of a deal.

What is everyone's view of Napa tools? I just boug a 10 pc socket set made in the USA at a local pawn shop. I thought why not? It was only 8 bucks.

It'd be a great box, if you don't want to spend the �� you should check out what U.S. general has to offer. They are cheap enough and built tough. Thick metal, ball bearing sliders. I have the 5 drawer cart and am very happy with the product.

I just got this sk crowsfoot set off ebay for 50 bucks! I'm pretty excited, I think i got a smokin�� deal. They were barely used, almost like new condition, some minor scuffs from sitting in the tool box. I've really grown to like sk's product. I think they really know what quality is.

What is the difference?

Yeah, you can find stuff there once and a while. But there isn't much.

What do you guys think of open end wrenches?

Yeah we do, there is a snap on guy on campus Monday Wednesday and Friday I think. I was just at grainger the other day, I ordered a pair of pliers, had my mmi work shirt on and they gave me a discount too. It's pretty cool, I'm not sure how big discounts are with all the different brands. It's...

Is anyone from the phoenix az area? If so where can you buy good quality used tools? Mac, snap on, wright, s-k, cornwell, cman, Matco etc? I stopped by a pawn 1st today and they had one 10mm wrench. Any ideas?

I was debating on a craftsman 3 drawer or this husky 3 drawer, that small tray is what sold the box for me. it's a great little travel box. I have a nice 6 drawer ball bearing craftsman box back in pennsylvania where I'm from, didn't want to bring that to school with me. I also have a nice 5...

I have a small set of usa craftsman screwdrivers too. I have sk professionals coming the mail. Hopefully Ill have them by next week.
