Some times when a bolt head gets really bad. It'll basically shrink in size. For example: Normally what would be a nut that would require a 14mm wrench. You can put a 12mm wrench on there pretty snug. Which I would then use a 12mm "turbo socket" on it. Hope that helps but I have experienced...

Now a days when I'm working, just a pen and pocket screw driver in my shirt pocket. Some times a flashlight in my right pocket. I have that same Kershaw knife. Love it.

Whatever cheap one I find really. There is one on the Snap-On truck. Looks like a copper wire with a magnet attached to it so you can bend the wire any way and it'll stay that way. I'd buy one if I wasn't so cheap.

I only have a needle nose SO pair and they seem fine. It does it's job but I can't say that I trust them. Which makes me not want to get the rest of the set. I do prefer the look and feel of them though.

I like my combination wrenches and then zero degree offset double boxes to compliment them. That should cover the basics.

Yeah my SO guy sells a little packet of rings and o-rings. A few bucks, can't remember the brand though. I bought it thinking I needed it on my MG325 but it just ended up being the socket itself. Found it http://justclipkits.com/products/snap-ring-kits

Save your money for tools or a nicer box for when you go out in the field. One of my ex coworkers had a Heritage box and it just doesn't impress me. Especially for that kind of money.

Then go to Home Depot and get a Montezuma or HF and pick and choose any box you like.

I got a KRL722 for a grand more than that. Back in February, brand new off the truck. Pass on the "deal." You're better off with something else, don't care what name tag it has on the front.

My Matco locking flex is the same way, flops either way just a hair. It's a new (warranty) ratchet too. I noticed it after a few uses. The one it replaced didn't have that problem. Doesn't really bother me anymore.

Cornwell 1/2 to 3/8 impact extensions are pretty reasonably priced. I have a 24" one that I use pretty often. It was like $40 off the truck.

Yup. Ratcheting wrenches are a luxury but when you need one, they can save a ton of time.

Stupid question. Why are they called water pump pliers?

My SO guy is raffling one off. They're like $900 or free with a purchase of an Epiq, he says haha.

I see haha. I don't think I ever used the 21" ones in my set either

I have that 8 piece long SO instinct set to go along with my regular instinct set. I've had the long set for a few months now and I only use the 2nd longest and 3rd longest flat blade screw drivers and maybe the longest Phillips but I guess I had to have to whole set.

Have used the same one for almost four years now with a hex to square adapter. Hasn't skipped a beat. I use it for every job you named basically. Only good for up to 10-12mm head bolts though. I prefer the ergonomics over any other brand impact driver or wrench. I would look at the Milwaukee...

Yup, would rather use those or a regular flex ratcheting.

SO has a gearless 3/8 as well. Always wondered how it worked.

Flex non reversible or long double box flex
