    I'm not sure i can still warranty this....uh.....snap-on Torx set.....

    I used capri triple squares and they were fine even with my abuse. I didn't seat the tiny triple square deep enough into the sway bar end link, striped the hell out of the screw and the bit was still ok

    Leatherman tool style pliers?

    Are there pliers out there that are shaped like Leatherman multi tool pliers, but as a standalone tool? To me, they're like a combination of linesman pliers and needle nose

    What are Deep Sockets For? I've Never Needed One

    I bought deep 1/2" impact as per recommendations here. Problem was, in conjunction with the impact wrench, it sometimes gets barely too long, but will clear with a shallow. So, now I got both...

    I'm torn on the protrusion. I can see how it can help with recessed fasteners, but I can also see how it gets in the way. I like having a non ratchet box end, though Also, are the tekton/infar ones fatter in diameter vs the kabo ones?

    Anyone else NOT like ratcheting screwdrivers?

    I would have liked them when running down many long screws, but at that point, the impact driver comes out. I do like them for screws where access is blocked and I can't use a second hand to hold the shaft down while I turn the handle.
