Hell I'd leave it like it is. Looks good. You can't pay someone for real patina unless you're willing to wait 10 or 20 years.

And here we have the root of the problem. Stodgy old timers who have no idea whats going on around them. These new craftsmen tools are not sears, they are stanley. But there have only been a couple dozen, hundred threads about it so far. Same people that think craftsmen still made in the US...

I've had both, and I tend to ignore the driver/owner/salesman trucks. Too many of them are fly by night, and been screwed by a matco rep that stole my tools when he quit taking payments because his business was failing and he couldn't even get to/from the shops where people owed him money. Oh...

The reason you pay so much for snap-on is fitment. I've never rounded a fastener with a snap-on socket. Rounded way to many with craftsmen be for I made the switch. Hell I've broken a couple snap-on sockets that would have just rounded the fastener with a lesser socket. I'd rather break a tool...

Thats why a lot of medium-large sized shops have apprentice and/or oil/tire positions for. The last shop I was at, which I regret having to leave, actually paid up to 200$ for the oil/tire guys to buy tools as long as they showed up for the carquest classes when we had them. Good idea...

I actually own a crescent SAE adjustable, and a K.D. Metric adjustable. Both the same size. About 1" or ~26mm fully opened. That crescent is a bad sumbitch. thiccc as hell. Too bad it doesn't fit a lot of places.

Not the first guy in Alabama to do this... My last snap-on dealer did it until he got fired. Then somehow got a job with another franchise. I always got receipts from him. He tried that ******** the computer is down right once, and I said well it seems my wallet is broken right now too.

I ******* hate delivery people. They have no respect for you, or property and are quite often lazy as ****. I finally caught the UPS guy delivering package from amazon with a couple thousand dollars worth of tools and computer hardware in it. (I had no idea they were gonna send my entire...

I can't really use more than one meter, and while the equus isn't a fluke. It does everything I need it too. I just melted the leads doing something stupid with them. I was at harbor freight, had the free meter coupon. Used it to get the leads, and they last fine, and ohmed out fine.

I've had a set of those for years, and been using them daily. I broke one on a long handle ratchet. But they swapped out the whole set. Otherwise they've held up fine.

Lol I've been using those leads on my equus meter for a year or so. Just bought some new ones bananna plug style ones with gator clips, regular probes, and back probe pins, and clip on piercing probes.

even if it was only 1000$ I doubt you'd see many mechanics buying them. You just dont do much work on jack stands these days. I work in a shop with 8 techs, and we have 0 creepers. I've worked in a few shops, and uhm, out of 5 shops, I can remember 2 guys that had creepers. And I don't...

I've been pretty happy with the tekton stuff I have. Amazing prices, good quality, good function.

No you use them on 12 point fasteners
