Hello everyone, I am working on a 30 year old vehicle that has been through a lot but generally seems to be in good order (California truck). I feel like replacing some of the hardware based on its condition and was wondering if its acceptable to use stainless steel hardware. To be clear, none...

Hello, I just wanted to get an idea of what the pros and cons are of satin finish wrenches vs polished / chrome ones. I'm assuming the chrome / polished ones are easier to clean? But does the chrome chip off? Forgive me, I don't know much as I have only ever had Craftsman without the polished...
