Earlier I had posted about a large tool set I bought. I ended up keeping it, and filling in some of the gaps in sizing of sockets. The only problem, if you can even think of it as a problem, is that now I’ve got just about two identical sets of both 6 point and 12 point sockets both deep and...

Thanks for the detailed reply! I am going to keep the set. I may end up selling some pieces down the road, such as replacing broken pliers/cutters with Knipex, or replacing any broken tools with higher quality. The way I think about it, if it hasn't broken then it's good enough for the job...

I forgot to mention, the set actually shipped with the 90 tooth ratchets, and I had already ordered a couple locking flex head 90 tooth as well, so I'm plenty set on ratchets for basically the next forever as long as they don't break. They feel 700% better than the Kobalt 90 tooth I have had...

Funny you mention that! I've been married for 11 years next week, have 3 kids and have moved 11 times in the past 10 years. Just sold a house in the mountains of North Carolina and bought another in Nebraska. This is it- this is the house we stay in, in a tiny town that is a blast from the...

A lot of you have given some good insight and ideas. Lol I know I'm being a bit picky with this whole thing and recognize that there is not only one "right" answer to the issue. I'll probably end up buying a handful of individual sockets to fill in the gaps I know I'll want, and then buy some...

I really love the way the GW ratchets feel, and the fit and finish of the tools is overall good for the price, but GW doesn’t seem to offer the same size range and the potential warranty issues are a bit off-putting. I basically bought the whole giant set because I have almost nothing to start...

I recently purchased a large GearWrench tool set since I had basically no hand tools at all. It is advertised on the Home Depot site for almost $2000, I bought it marked down to $1600. It shipped with a somewhat odd assortment of sockets in both 6 and 12 point and standard and deep sockets...

It should be a good one for most small shop tasks. I'm considering buying that one or a similar model in the near future for myself to work on an old Honda!

Nice, could end up being a killer deal!

Some of these are really nice! Actually, all of them are way better than mine, lots of good ideas here.

looks like it should be awesome once it's done!

Nice, really cool!
