I dont see the point in the double detents, I would prefer single. not a deal breaker. Cman sockets are great for the money, cant beat a life warranty, even if Sears shuts it's doors you can still waranty through Craftsman.

I like metal trays like this, more bang for your buck, metal, and highly portable:

looks like jewlery! I like Cman sockets too.

x2, cheater pipes are better, safer, cheaper...

It doesnt really matter that much imo. I like both, but if im at a desk/ home use I like a all in one. Here is this one that looks nice, only $24 and has torx etc. It's 16 piece so I think it;s cheaper than buying a 16 piece solid set. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002PJ3IYE/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Harbor F $9.99 :) I don't have one but that must be the best value, if you spend more money get a name brand/ peace of mind/ working on expensive stuff.

I have had several positive deals with this member, excellent experience every single time! :thumbup:

Knipex comfort grip are my favorite pair of needle/ long nose. I have the 8 inch version.

When you are ready for locking pliers/ vise grips, check out Grip-on. Get the orange 10" to start out with.

I use long handled ratchets with lifetime warranties or a cordless impact instead of breakers these days. I have no problem beating the hell out of my matco ratchets.

Yeah its up to you. I wouldn't pay anything for it. I don't like my tools left out in the open to get stolen or dusty.

Thats pretty cool! what brand is it? Does it say Matco on it or is it blank?

The 26" is a very good option too. Lots of thin drawers and it will offer way more storage than any HF cart. I prefer the HF 44" because of the counter top space, mount a buffing wheel or a small vice to the top etc.

Tapping is an annoying way to detect, but it works, gives false positives often. I am interested in a answer though, wouldnt want to spend $1k though.

Go to HF for boxes, they have a cart for $170 and a 44" box for $380. Really good values.

Schurkey, 6 point wrenches dont work that great because they can be a PITA to get to slip over the bolt. 6 point on a socket + ratchet is fine, because of the clicking, you can rotate it to fit. Wrenches are fixed. If you love 6 point wrenches thats fine, but most people like me hate them and...

Craftsman USA is the most solid choice for a beginner, staying away from bulk China tools is the best advice you can take...

For getting a broken fastener off I sometimes use some locking pliers, Grip-on 10", I feel like I can clamp down with a ton of force. I dont own these Knipex cobras yet, but would they do a better job for small nuts and bolts? Or are the Knipex Cobras more suited towards plumbing type work? I am...

Yeah i'm sure thats normal :beer::shocking:
