I’ve got the Sunex ones that have been posted a few times already. They work ok. My only complaint is they have quite a bit of handle flex, makes it hard to get a feel for how much pressure your actually putting in the hose. If I were a professional I would look for something better.

Not arguing with you, eBay can be sketch and I would never get something like Tekton from there either but I’ve had a great run getting snap-on tools from eBay, probably spent over $2-3k on Snap-On hand tools from eBay over the last few years for substantially less than off the truck prices...

I have the sunex. I mostly work on motorcycles so I use 1/4 the most. They have been my main sockets for a couple years. No complaints at all.

Picked up a few socket sets from my local CAT dealer.

They are the best pliers. And yes I own lots of knipex, Snap-On are considerably better IMO.

Random question: Does anyone know if the Gearwrench Deep 6pt Metric sockets have a shallow broach like snap on and some others or are they more of a deep broach?

Thanks, this is helpful. I use mine for similar tasks, what magnification did you go with?

Not sure if my terminology is correct but I'm looking to upgrade from a VERY cheap headband w/ magnifier lenses to something a little better. Here is a picture from amazon showing what I mean. I'm not opposed to getting something like above but wondering if there might be something a bit...

Nope, standing upright

I didn't do anything other than making sure to hit it strait and I checked alignment every few blows to ensure it was still strait. Yes the wings just cut their own path, I didn't do anything to accommodate for them.

I have a strong preference in ratchets. Snap-On Dual 80s with quick release, flex head, long handle with hard handle. However Snap-On doesn't sell this configuration(hard handles with QR) I have two 1/4" versions if this, one with the "long" handle and another "extra long". I've obtained these...

Same here, drives me nuts when switching between ratchets. I won’t buy a koken or any ratchet with a “backwards” selector because of it. I wish I wasn’t wired this way because I really want one of those new TRO ratchets made by a member on here but can’t get past the selector.

In my experience most guys will take the trade off for more speed rather than torque after using them a bunch. The reality is even with the higher torque models you will still have to manually break and final tighten fasteners by hand so you might as well have the extra speed. Also electric...

High speed long reach either 1/4 or 3/8 depending on what you use more of. Probably 3/8.

They won’t replace an impact driver. They work better than a standard screw driver but they lose to much in the shaft to be very effective.

All of mine are together except my electric ratchets stay with the rest of the ratchets.

Murphys but I also find glass cleaner to work very well, especially the foaming stuff from an aerosol can.

I don’t think there is a brand I hate. Powerfist is one I stay clear of almost always thou. Most of the hand tools I see from them are REALLY bad. Exception being some of the simple electric stuff like bench grinder, polisher, etc seem to be decent and great value when on sale.

Add me to the list also! I have XL-XXL mitts and have yet to find a pair of scissors that are comfortable.

Thanks for the colour code info, that will be useful moving forward. I actually bought these with the intention to use them as "hard use" pry drivers anyways so I'm not upset at all. I have a heavy duty Klein flatheaad and bought and keep handy exactly for this use and it's super handy. I'm...
