    Proto

    Never used the yellow handle line,but the black and grey cushion handle drivers are great! Use them every day at work! As far as the ratchets go,I've used Proto ratchets for years day in and day out,never had any issues,never lube them other than a shot of WD or Kroil at the end of the day when...

    3/4 Drive socket set.

    I'm an industrial maintenance tech,formerly a heavy equipment tech. Get the cheapest set you can find,and if a socket/ratchet fails,replace them with a better quality unit,on a piece by piece basis. I bought a set of Great Neck 3/4" dr sockets at Auto Zone almost 20 years ago,when I first got in...

    Craftsman going back to USA

    I certainly hope that you are right. It would be a great thing to put some people back to work here in the States. I guess I'm just over-optimistic when I hear news like this because I have made my living from being a maintenance tech in manufacturing most of my adult life. There are lots and...

    What is torque multiplier

    I used several of them back when I was a heavy equipment tech and they are the real deal. That looks like a great bargain on one. Just one word of advice,whatever you do,don't hook an impact gun to it. Other than that,you'll be glad to have it,and it'll pull you out of alot of tight spots.

    chads toolbox dot com

    I bought the biggest set of Knipex Cobras from them,the shipping time was reasonable (about five days or so). I think the shipping time delays were a result of being shipped from Alaska(at least mine were). In any case I didn't have any problems with the service at all.
