    Tekton Ratchets?

    Capri tools has 72tooth ratchets that are very cheap but also very good quality. CoO is Taiwan and has a lifetime warranty. Highly recommended.

    Look for impact sockets

    Harbor freights are good quality regardless of what you may heard. Otherwise tekton is always a good affordable option or I actually recommend Capri tools. The trend here is that these are all made in Taiwan and offer good balance between price and quality. If you wanted to upgrade to tooltruck...

    Do brand new Snap-On sockets come coated in oil?

    I can confirm that buying impact sockets off a tool truck will come coated in oil most likely to prevent oxidation before the customer can even use them.

    CAT Tools

    I’ve actually been looking for an affordable angle wrench set that was still good quality and I found a cat set 233-1635. Does anyone know if these also happen to be produced by snap on?

    What tool to buy

    Tekton like others have said or find decent Taiwanese brand tools. Usually you get near USA quality at near Chinese prices. If you don’t have any sockets invented yet I would personally look at dewalts 192 piece socket set. It comes with 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 drives with basically no skips except for...

    US wrenches with anti-slip design...

    I’ve been hearing so many good things about those dewalt wrenches. I’ve been contemplating buying another wrench set since I own the lobster claw craftsman’s. The Taiwan made channellocks which are rather cheap for the quality look nice but the dewalts are even cheaper. I think I would like the...

    Dewalt Mechanic tool Advice

    I have a question. Those individual wrenches you purchased from amazon from dewalt, did they feature the anti slip design? I ask because I’m in the market for a new set and I narrowed it down to the dewalts or the channellock and I was leaning dewalt because they were a bit cheaper but it’s so...

    Wrenches

    I disagree my good sir. I’m a younger tech in the industrial lift truck field and my first wrench set purchase was the Chinese made craftsman lobster claws. Well seeing as we deal with lift trucks there are a lot of hydraulic fittings in tight places and the lobster claws have screwed me over...

    Please recommend your top 3 brand names for home hand tool use.

    There is a very complete socket set from dewalts 192 piece kit. Almost no skipped sizes and they give you near tool truck quality. You can find the kit on sale for near $150 if you search.

    Opinions on Pittsburgh Impact Swivel Socket

    If they are Pittsburgh pro then they are probably made in Taiwan and as we all know here a lot of decent quality stuff comes from Taiwan. Not everything necessarily but I would bet that you got a decent set of swivels. With that being said, it seems to me that no matter the brand or quality...

    Where can i find a *complete* set of 6 point craftsman sockets online?!

    I recently bought the dewalt 192 piece socket set. It pretty much comes with all the drive sizes, metric and standard, deep and shallow, and all the sizes small up to big that I would think you would ever need. I think I paid $150 plus shipping on sale but I don’t know for certain if you’ll get...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    No they make a new style combination wrench with the biting teeth like the high quality truck brands. They also have blue and red stripes for metric/standard. They aren’t that expensive though and I would buy them if the Milwaukee’s weren’t so enticing. But I just want to make sure they are the...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    Does anyone have any comparisons between the Milwaukee max bite wrenches and the professional truck brand wrenches like snap-on or Matco? I really need to upgrade from a terrible purchase craftsman full polish set I made as my first wrench set. I was thinking either the Milwaukee’s if they...
