I do agree that the finish is pretty nice for what they are. They are fairly heavy as well, which I don't mind. I know weight isn't a good metallurgical indication of strength, but it does give that impression. Feel good in the hand as well. I wouldn't put these to the test in a professional...

The maintenance dept where my gf works were throwing away a bunch of old tools, incomplete sets and what not, and knowing that I'm always collecting tools, she asked if she could have them. Quick google search brought up Fastenal as a distributor, but I couldn't find any indication of COO...

Because popping new sockets off with a flathead gets old... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Line wrenches are a god send on this thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The TF72 is as smooooth as butter, and can fit into some pretty snug places. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have. The MG875 is a pretty nasty little gun. But I already have three 1/2" guns, waiting until one of them starts to give up the ghost and then go trade it in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And I'm still not sold on electric impacts. Sure, they're probably fine on small stuff like lug nuts, but my MG725 out runs my dewalt dcf899hb, even though the dewalt is supposed to have a higher breakaway and max tq... good thing it was cheap and has its uses in terms of being portable, or I...

I have two 3/4s, an SO 1250 and the MAC. They both do very well imo. As the other guy said, 1" is shop provided here. We do have a 3/4 as well, but it's a worn out POS that couldn't pull a greasy string out of a cats ***. As with everything else, if you let a bunch of mongoloids use something...

That **** will get old QUICK. I don't loan anyone anything anymore now. "Snap on truck comes on mondays, matco on Thursday, Northern tool is 5 miles away." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guess you could buy from matco and get dang near the same Taiwanese impacts sockets you get from the HF pro line for triple the price... Yup. ****-o-la. It's all **** to someone, somehow, some way or another. Snap on is **** because it's expensive, HF is **** because it's cheap. Blah blah...

Kid doesn't need a pro set. A 301 piece HF kit will last him until he gets out of college and by then, if he is even still into wrenching, he'll be able to buy whatever he wants. If not, your out $200ish and can say you tried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is correct. As to the where and how much, no answer yet, but will update when I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a bonus of working for this company, biannual calibrations for free. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the help everyone. A fellow GJ member is selling me a gently used mitutoyo base that I will be using with a MHC gauge that I have for timing mechanical pumps as a "loaner", and buying a noga base and starrett gauge for personal use and precision work. Can't thank y'all enough...

We've established that is in fact a warranted need, which has brought forth more information as to what are higher quality, and what is not. I think you missed that part where I opted for higher quality, and then proceeded to try to take a holier than thou approach, which I do not appreciate...

Hense why I came to you all for suggestions... obviously I didn't know what was needed, but now I have a much better idea. But gee, you sure "caught me" trying to be cheap, cause that's totally what's going on here (sarcasm). Please, if you don't have anything constructive to add, leave. I'm...

Thanks for your input guys. For the record, I may be a 230lb gorilla, but I have more respect for the tools that someone else pays for than my own, and I am very particular about how my tools are treated, lol. But I totally get where you're coming from, I have a few craftsman tools rolling...

Glad I held out... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not to mention someone's life. Halliburton lost an operator due to a connecting rod failure caused from premature bearing failure (spun). Still pending investigation, but if the crank was checked off as good, when It wasn't... heads will surely roll. I don't need that on my conscience. Sent...
