    Let's see your toolbox.

    Thanks. I like craftsman, their fit and finish is not comparable to Snap-On. However, I have never broken a craftsman socket, just their standard ratchet, which I agree is a POS. I have a lot of craftsman USA, a lot of their G series which is what I bought when I first started out. I like...

    Crick-IT

    I used one once, It was cool idea, and for the time was a unique concept. However after about 10 or so squeezes, your hand starts to get tired. No way are you going to take out a long fastener or nut on stud with these.

    new professional grade harbor freight ratchets

    Don't be an idiot like me and take apart the ratchet head and put the backing plate on the wrong way. I over tightened the torx-8 screw and now the lever has dug into the composite material slightly.

    AAP = Advanced Auto Parts Go to google and search Advanced Auto Parts coupons. They have good coupons, which combined with their free shipping makes it great!. I bought all 3 of my armstrong flex ratchets for around $50 a piece, using the right methods.

    What is the SKU on those. I have the small set I bought at advanced auto parts a while ago, but would like a bigger one. I don't use them all the time, but when I do they come in handy.

    Tools from Taiwan

    Taiwanese tools are made pretty well, but there sockets and wrenches don't match USA quality. The fit and finish of USA stock is better than taiwan stuff. The pricing point is what sets it off. Taiwanese stuff will range mid between china and USA. However, I do own a few taiwanese ratchets...

    Craftsman & Snap-On pricing?

    i would use ebay to determine pricing. USA made craftsman are still available from sears outlets if you look hard enough. And most of the members probably have a set or two lying around. I have about 2 full sets and 1 set mixed and match. Snap-on can go for around 150-200 for a ten piece...
