    If addicted to tools, it's not a matter of need, but a matter of want. I could return it, but the extra torque could come in handy. For how much I use my tools, overkill is a word that comes to mind.

    Picked up a new DeWalt Mid-Range impact wrench. The one on the right is the new one (DCF892) and the one on the right I have had for 3-4 years (DCF894). The DCF892 has 600 ft. lbs. of fastening torque and 800 lbs. of breakaway torque vs the DCF894 has 330 ft. lbs. and 600 ft. lbs. The are...

    I have a couple of these and they are nice. Feel solid and look well machined. I like the blow molded case they come in too.

    Snap-On Sockets

    I agree on Snap-On rachets and have several. I think they are the best. But sockets are basically sockets and I didn't feel it was worth spending huge money to load-up on Snap-On sockets.

    Snap-On Sockets

    I decided to go with Williams sockets. From what I understand, they are the same sockets and mostly likely made in the same factory. They don't come with a magnetic rail, which I really like about Snap-On, but it was $87 with no shipping charge on Amazon versus $234 + $22 shipping+- from Snap-...

    Snap-On Sockets

    Yep, I really like the ease of the magnetic trays versus the pop on ones, which are a pain. And the etching on Snap-On is very sharp and defined, making it easier to read.

    Snap-On Sockets

    Thanks for the input. I did want US made. I checked Wright Tool on Amazon and they are around $95 - less than half the price of Snap-On. This is just for DYI tinkering at home, but at the same time, I am building a heck of a tool collection and want the best. Or at least some tool truck...

    Snap-On Sockets

    Are Snap-On sockets worth the money? I know they are quality and made in USA, but $234 for a set of SAE shallow 6-point sockets is pretty steep. That is 9-10 times what I paid for a set of DeWalt sockets. I have some DeWalt, GearWrench, SK and one set of Snap-On. When I look inside at the...

    Got these in today. I have been adding some pry bars, pics and pliers. Before this purchase, I did not have one pair of Snap-On pliers as I felt they were overpriced. But I wanted to have a few in the collection, so I bit the bullet. I mostly have Knipex, Klien and Channellock. I like the...

    I have those and that is a great deal on the price. I also have the Wiha heavy duty screwdriver set and those are heavy, stout, with the metal cap on the grip and the bolster or whatever they call it where you can get a wrench on it for more leverage. Wiha makes great screwdrivers. They were...

    I have that same saw and stand. The saw is great, but heavy. The stand needs to be modified to be a mobile stand otherwise it tends to topple with the saw on it. The wheels are too small and the axle is to narrow. I put a longer axle and bigger wheels on mine. There is a photo on Amazon and...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Very nice box. I bought a Husky, but I like SnapOn. But they are very expensive. Love the top that protects it. I cut a piece of cardboard for my top ha!

    New Toolbox

    I have outgrown the 52" heavy duty Husky box and added on the 31" heavy duty box next to it (got it today). Both have ball bearing drawers and soft close. Great boxes for the money. I like that I can use the top of the new box for workspace. The top opens up and has storage under it that...

    Nice. I have all three of those and bought them separately so even more expensive. Can't beat SnapOn ratchets.

    The size of the bottom of the filler screws on to all Toyota and Lexus vehicles (same size as the oil filler cap).

    Mac Tools You’re opinion

    I have two of their Precision Torque combination wrench sets and they are excellent. Feel great in the hand and better than SnapOn. They also did well in the wrench comparison test by Project Farm on Youtube. These are my favorite wrenches out of the ones I have (SK, Mac, GearWrench, SnapOn...
