Just bought a set 5 minutes ago. Looking forward to owning them for many years. Are there any other american brands like that, which fly under the radar a bit? I also found Montana brand for drill bits, and Klien for pliers. Knew Klein was good, just didn't know they were american. What others...

Hopefully? Please cite specifically, where I said anything close to that. I said IF. If it ever breaks. Nowhere did I say "I hope it breaks so I can get a brand new one." Guess you have the same problem as that other guy. Reading too much into stuff.

Wow 1995 eh? Looks like they're good enough for me then

Anybody here have this set? If so, how do you like it? Need a new set and I've zero'd on this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bondhus-20599-0-050-3-8-Inch-1-5-10mm-Stubby-Ball-End-Hex-Key-Double-Pack-/231933453341?hash=item36004fa41d:g:QGMAAOSwgtJXTxYv

You assume too much. I don't feel entitled to anything. I was just going to take them up on an offer, if indeed they're offering it. That's it. If they're not, then obviously I'll go a different way. Trying to work out, and understand the ins and outs of the offer, isn't somehow feeling...

Well I do technically have a driver. I got his card and know where I could find him. Just haven't bought anything from him yet. At some point its likely I will, but I'm not going to rack up a giant bill like techs at dealerships.

Same thing though, if an older guy goes to get something he bought new exchanged. Does he need his original receipt?

Yeah I've been reading about that on this board. Imho, they shouldn't be able to do that unless its obviously been on an impact. I know they can do it, but how do they know my dad didn't buy that thing off a truck 23 years ago? Or my grandfather. There are going to be people out there that fall...

Well I was just going to look for ones that were used, but in good shape, and use them. Until they finally broke, if ever. I was under the impression that it has to be broken in order for them to actually exchange it. I didn't think they'll exchange a socket that looks old and rough, but still...

At what point will they not exchange it? Don't want to buy any I can't get exchanged, if necessary.

Hi all. I am missing some sockets out of my collection, so I was looking at just buying them individually. I noticed that for about the same price as new, I can buy used tool truck brands off ebay. Just as well do that, if the prices are going to be similar. So I wanted to ask about how to look...

Do we have any information on who all these manufacturers are? And thus, we could weed through and find the best ones?

I recently snapped a Great Neck crescent wrench lol. Maybe I'm just too brutish with stuff or something, but if I don't try to buy the best tools I can (reason for the creation of this thread) then I usually regret it in the way of broken tools. I really do try not to use tools for stuff they're...

Could you please elaborate a bit on what you mean by this? Can't tell if you mean in this particular instance, or if you're speaking generally. Next, to revisit my "thin wall" question. ... They are stronger, right? I mean you'd think they'd have to be, if they're going to be called "impact...

Ouch. A double dose of being spied on. I'd switch to Firefox. Off topic, I know. But I just have to say something when I see this kind of thing. I'm a constitution loving kind of guy. I'm sure I'll upgrade to a better set of wrenches eventually. But that's just what I've got to do, for right...

1/2" drive. I'd need to use an adapter to go 3/8" drive.

Thanks! Can anyone speak as to their durability? I have to ask because of the "thin wall" label they're given.

Something I've been running into lately. Impact sockets not really wanting to fit in the lug hole, of a set of modern wheels. I got this newer mercedes in, and the impact socket just wouldn't fit in the hole. This is about the 4rth car in as many months where I've had this problem. So I ended up...

Ended up going with these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12pc-ILLINOIS-INDUSTRIAL-DEEP-OFFSET-DOUBLE-BOX-END-RING-WRENCH-SET-SAE-METRIC-/360385634482?hash=item53e8a860b2:m:mpObVKrK2V3PuJbjyX-LuQA None of the suggested higher end sets were complete, unless you want to pay $300 or near $300. At this...

People keep bringing those up. If I'm going to pay that, isn't there a Snap On or SK or Proto or other high end U.S made set? If I'm going to cough up that kind of money, why wouldn't I buy american?
