A must have from Matco are the old school Pro-Swing Double box end ratchet wrench - SGRBLM7T (Metric) They are made by Armstrong and pricing can vary. They are rarely cheap with either branding. My metric set is Matco and SAE is Armstrong. I am also fond of the old school Matco impact...

I never used my air impact to install most nuts and bolts. Only for removal. Some electric impact have two different power modes. The Bosch is nice, you'll just have to feather the trigger when installing your bolts....lol

Snap-on Power Tools Inc. Mac's are rebadged Dewalt cordless impacts.

Notice Milwaukee power tools is owned by a Chinese company and built in china. I was sad at first, but their power tools still work like hell and I have no complaints.

I was looking at the Sunex floor jacks. Did you confirm whether or not yours can be rebuilt? Im in the same situation you were in, $500 for a home jack is a little much. And I'm only half interested in an American jack because they can be rebuilt. So, if the Sunex can be rebuilt then a $300...

Klein T21172 or 1005 for crimping. For Klein stripper 11063W, fantastic. I have a hand held Chinese 12ton hydraulic crimper with a complete set of dies from ebay I got for like $50. I don't use it too much but its great when working with heavier gauge wire and is rebuildable. There are much...

Kleins are legit. I only purchase their specialty tools though. They are pricey so its hard for me to justify spending money on their standard drivers and snips. I have a set of their insulated driver's for electrical work around the house and a pair of diagonal cutters and a pair of their cable...
