This is a very good rule.:thumbup: I wish more people would follow it.

Do you have access to an oxy/acetylene torch? Heat is a mechanics best friend when it comes to rusty bolts. Even a little propane or mapp gas torch might help.

I think if you go to the "Let's see your tool box...." thread, he has pictures of the contents in their. As for service carts, I'm with nissan_crawler. I have a SO KRL1022 and I move it where I go. If I need something portable, I have a SO tool try the fits nicely in my bottom drawer. I'm 23...

1. Snap-On 4-way angle head wrench set. Nothing better for getting at hydraulic lines. Also the only company with 30 and 60 degree angles rather than 15 and 60. 2. Fluke meter. I have a 73 which gets the job done. Would love an 87. 3. Knipex 10" high leverage dykes. 4. Vaughn 4lb engineers...

If you don't care where they are made, I would suggest the Grey Pneumatic impact sockets. They have a lifetime warranty, seem to be readily available, and well, that is what the company specializes in so I can't see them being that bad. If USA is a must, I would go with Proto. I just got a set...

I like the offset box end they have. Too bad they aren't readily available over here. Actually that is probably a good thing, being that I would probably buy those even with all the wrenches I already have.

I really want the Estwing leather wrapped handle claw hammer, like a 16 oz or so. I can never find one though, seems most places around here only carry the blue handles.

I really want some of the half-moon wrenches as well as some crowsfeet. I have used the half-moon wrenches a couple times for things like starters and hydraulic pumps. For as big as some of the machines are, the engineers at CAT still really know how to cram 5lbs of **** in a 1lb sack. I think I...

Ooo I spy pebble grain and some gray stuff too.

I have some MAC XLs. They come in handy when a regular wrench just doesn't have the reach or you need just a little extra torque. I don't use them very often however. Maybe once or twice in a month.

I'm interested.

+1. Also keep us posted if you decide to part with any of that nice stuff. I would be next inline for the angle wrenches if nissan_crawler didn't take 'em first.

Just an observation, but all of these SK QC issues seems to come from SK tools purchased through sears. Anyone else notice this?:headscrat

I'm in a school program right now as well. I'll be done in May '09 and it can't get here soon enough. Anyways, on to the tools. I have used the Snap-On discount quite a bit. It is very nice. If you don't mind using a credit card, you can go right on their student website and get what you want...

Nice haul.:thumbup: I'd pay $30 just for the Snap-On angle wrenches. I love those things. What size is that giant wrench. It looks like it says Superrench on it? Williams? Hey nissan_crawler, I see you noticed the angle wrenches too, but did you catch the offset box ends.

I use standard wrenches more than metric everyday. If the machine is older than say 10 years, I can pretty much guarantee half or more of the fastners are standard. I use like 10,13,16,18 commonly. Other than that it is standard or it is a metric bolt that a std. works on well, i.e. 24mm-...

I like the looks of the Wiha striking cap screwdrivers. Was looking at a set from J&L for alot less than $150. Can't remember off the top of my head but I think they were around $60 for a set.

Moose that is great. Giggidy, alright....:thumbup:

"I have never cared for their combination wrenches because they feel fat around the beam of the boxed end kind of like a fat woman but then, other people might like that." Yeah, fat chicks need lovin' too.

I am not ashamed to say it. I am jealous.:bowdown:
