Consider KT impact sockets. It will save you 60% of truck brand price. I've had mine for 18 years and the only one I broke was deliberate neglect. (Pressed bearings with it, not so good.) For air tools, you're gonna want a regular die grinder and a die grinder with a 90° head. Make sure you...

Spray paint them blue, write NOS on the side, and sell them to some Vin Diesel lookin high school kid.

Have found some random stuff. Nothing big name brand except for a Cornwell screwdriver and a Snap-on 5/8 swivel socket. Lots of 3 and 4 cell Maglites. Neatest thing was a 6'' crescent wrench made by Diamond Horseshoe Company.

- 12mm deep slotted socket for Espar bunk heater glow pins. Tool truck prices start at $60. $4 ProGrade socket and 20 minutes with a carbide bit cured that. Use it couple times a week during the winter. -10 inch long 5/8 allen socket for Volvo truck alignments. Honcho wouldn't buy a...

I have 6 different sizes, but I use the 16 oz and 3 pounder the most.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who thinks about this stuff. So I ask my fellow OCD'ers: Does this also affect/contradict how you put away pipe wrenches and channel lock pliers?

Just an idea- What about getting an inexpensive pair of 14 inch double x and welding a couple pieces of flat steel to the end of the jaws to make them long enough? You could dremel a couple channels in them so it wouldn't slip so easily.

Wife wanted a dishwasher. About 3 feet of counter needed removed. I started (slowly) dismantling with screwgun. She left for work and I sped thing up a bit with my Poulan Pro chainsaw. Hells yes.

Ditto on the torx and allen sockets. I seem to go through T25s (Cornwell) and 5 mm (SK) like a fat kid goes through skittles. That and 90° Snap On oring picks. Only ever broke a few sockets. Less than 10, I guess. Bent the handle and broke the head off a Snappy 24 in breaker bar TWICE doing...

HA!!! I do the same thing! Don't know why, just seems right. We got a part-time vo-tech kid at work and I'd give him hell for closing them and now he does it too. He accepts my ocd.

Only 1/2 chromes I had for many years were shallows and I hardly use them. I bought SAE talls last fall and have used only the 1 1/8 for exhaust sensors, and my impact socket can do that. I won't buy metric tall chromes for that reason. 3/8 chromes get used the most. I work for a trucking fleet...

Thanks. Nope, It's the nickname for my BFH.

Hello, I'm the next new guy. Been shadowing your forum for a couple of months and decided "what the heck" and signed up. Found forum while researching for a new toolbox.
