    Where do YOU use your bent handle flexhead?

    Rarely touch mine. Only thing I use it on are spark plugs and that's if I feel like grabbing it. Then again, mine is a C-Man and I hate coarse feeling ratchets.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Same here. Have them in my second big drawer in my KRL. Barely clears some of the pliers I have in there,

    BLUEPOINT counter-weighted crank bolt sockets

    Not mine but my coworker split his after two uses. I'm guessing its because its made from CV? My HF sockets fail the same way.

    Is Cornwell fading out

    SO comes every Friday. Cornwell Comes every Monday. MAC comes every Tuesday. Matco comes every Friday. So I think I have it good so far... Matco doesn't last around here (new guy last month, we haven't had one for at least 3 years). The Cornwell guy first came here 6 months ago but he's pretty...

    Williams ratchets: 72 vs 36 tooth

    Scour eBay or the classifieds. Well worth it. Locking long handle flex would be my first buy. When I went to 80 teeth, 88 (Matco) or 72 with the 1/4 SO. It's really hard to go back and use anything else.

    BLUEPOINT counter-weighted crank bolt sockets

    I'd like to see one as well but there is no way a regular 19mm socket will break a Honda v6 crank pulley bolt loose. At least with my 2135. I've tried before. It's just a waste of time.

    BLUEPOINT counter-weighted crank bolt sockets

    They are thin enough for some but they will probably scratch the hell out of the wheels though.

    BLUEPOINT counter-weighted crank bolt sockets

    Picked it up off the SO truck today. Just used it on an 08 Acura MDX with 63k miles. With a 2135qtimax on 160psi shop pressure. Took about 10 seconds but it took it off. Surprised the hell out of me. This thing is stout and it cost me $45 off the truck.

    Wood ramps to get low cars high enough to get jack under

    You can try some traffic cones bases. The ones with the rubber base and use those.

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Got some Ernst low profile wrench racks today. In my shallow drawer on my KRL722. So far so good. It takes up quite a bit of space but I have no problems height wise.

    Snap-on Round head ratchets. Like or not?

    Anyone using a Matco 88?

    I actually prefer the Matco 88 vs the SO 80. Ratcheting just feels better imo. BFR128LFT 3/8 locking long handle is my goto. Then my SO 3/8 long handle roto.

    Markings: Sunex vs. Grey Pneumatic

    I have 3/8 GP Swivels and 1/2 Sunex Swivels. I only have a few sizes of each but the GP is way easier to read when the letters have worn away on the Sunex completely. Just my experience, the Sunex still has the etching but I have to squint at it.

    I want some 1/2 sockets suggestions (or do I even need them?)

    I would get a set of those but in deep well and then some standard length chromes for when you need the clearance.
