https://ebay.us/m/bQ2Z2S This Blackhawk set is super solid for $30. I an very happy with my purchase. The seller also has the matching torx set for $35. https://ebay.us/m/QwUaWp US made? Maybe.

Cat Torx is also a good value at $55 with quality Snap-on bit sockets. It's a complete set & for some reason, they include a E8 1/4 etorx socket.

A few 3/8 Koken options under $50 on Amazon.

The $37 24 tooth Knurled ratchet has many similarities in performance to the Cat Williams.

Koken, Cat (SO) Slightly More affordable Tekton or Icon

Tekton is great. CAT (Snap-on) and Koken sockets are slightly better. The Koken z ratchets are really, really nice, by far my favorite.

I looked at the Cat ratchets & ended up ordering a Koken.

These Infar "Wen" wrenches are excellent. The SAE variety is actually available through Home Depot if you want to match the metric set.

Wen (metric) Tekton (SAE) Same product, labeled differently.

The Tekton is the same as the Wen reversible ratcheting from Amazon. 7-22mm no skip (16 wrenches) for $108. Less than $7 a wrench. Not the same easy warranty, but a great set nonetheless. https://a.co/d/frSfiBN

Can confirm. Water Weld is a great underwater epoxy. Many a racing sailboat is held together with this product. An upgrade from Water Weld is Slash Zone, but you don't want to know the price.

I own the Evercraft Metric set. Nice Taiwanese tools, paid $13 on sale, haven't needed them yet.

Almost bought a 3/8 Carlyle ratchet, until I saw a Koken z series for $46 on Amazon. The Koken is next level. Looking for a single 24mm Carlyle wrench now.

Love my 42" Series 3 - 6 months in.

I've always had sucess with inexpensive scan tools. That being said, some cars require specific software (looking at you BMW). Still, my $80 BM700 has been great for the Bimmer. For the Toyota, an Ancel AD310 - $25. I leave one in each car, for on the go troubleshooting.

I own some of these older Taiwan Channel Lock wrenches. Thet were decent when produced in Taiwan, but most are Chinese sourced now. I perfer my long panel Carlyles, Williams stubbies, & WEN reversible ratcheting wrenches. Infar (Wen, Carlyle, Williams) & Kabo (Tekton, Icon, WEN) wrenches are...

Wen 7mm to 22mm (no skip) reversible ratcheting wrench set. Made by Infar Taiwan. $108 including heavy duty pouch (not pictured). Tekton wrenches are likely from the same manufacturer, but you pay more $ for less sizes, although Tekton might be an easier warranty process.

Socket set https://parts.cat.com/en/catcorp/214-6620 Ratchet https://a.co/d/2geAyDd I went into my Cat dealer to order the sockets, thier website is poor, & not really designed for orders from the general public. In person, they were very helpful & happy for my business.

Amazon prices are much lower for some items.
