hje?!

I have basically been buying what I know I will use or what I need to buy to do a project. We just moved in so things like buying a multimeter and a $25 part to fix a dryer when the service call alone was $100 is a no brainer. I'm sure my $75 in parts and tool would have easily been a $200 fix...

The new 189 piece mechanics set is all 6 point and comes with less of the filler and more useable items despite its cost to piece compared to other sets.

First time in my adult life with a garage. Prior to this I could only have the basics (basically a Costco Mastergrip mechanic set and a Husky tool bag along with a drill and driver set). All stuffed in my oil burner room. In the past 6 months: Gearwrench 1/4 set Gearwrench 3/8 set M12...

HF sets use 12-pointed nut-rounders. Spend a few bucks for the Tekton or GearWrench and get 6-point nut-turners.

Interesting developments to say the least. I already picked up a set of 120xp Gear Wrench 1/4 and 3/8 but a new Craftsman 1/2 set would be great. Hopefully they keep it 6 point sockets instead of the usual 12 point nut rounders. In any event, it will be awesone to see Cman come back to decent...

This is basically what I want from reviews. I give a grain of salt with everything, but I want a comparison of products so I can make a decision. I don't turn wrenches professionally so if I can see that Cart/Wrench/etc is giving similar results but costs 20% of the brand name, that is exactly...

I'm interested if they will start giving us a charging center top. :dunno:

I would love to stay USA, but the prices on some things *cough* socket sets *cough* are pretty prohibitive. Picking up whatever you can helps, but when full 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 Taiwan sets are $200ish for or a single smaller set set of US made for $160's it is pretty hard to compete.

I've used the set for over a year. Like it. Buy two, as my family decided to "borrow" some and I have yet to find them again.

Re: HF 18" Side box - $150 I believe there will be a 56 top chest coming soon.

So should I be glad I just got a 56"? Do you think quality will go up or down?

Saw it. Looks like the same motor and top mechanism put on a somewhat nicer bottom as the Chicago Electric.

Exactly. Shorties are 12 points. I ONLY want 6 points. Duralast has sets that are only 6 points.

Want to give some proof? Cause I can't find husky 6-point (Or any other big box/budget for that matter) aside from Gearwrench. Silver Eagle are not "budget" by any means.

I have 12ish or so. My goal is to make a wall of magnets.:rocker:

That's funny. I just finished a HF trio and grabbed their 56" box. Double slider sets vs single on the main drawer was the lynchpin. Loaded up it felt smoother with less deflection. The Husky box was nice but side by side the US General box was significantly better put together. I am glad I...

Rounded nuts and bolts.

Top one is deeper, higher rating on some drawers, and uses 18ga steel construction. It has "HD" in the product number indicating "Heavy Duty".:beer: Just for giggles I grabbed 2 of the Husky 64 piece 1/2 drive impact sets and threw them in the socket drawer, still closed nicely, but I think the...
