At least someone makes a Al ratchet. The platic looks interesting but does it come in 1/2"(the ones in the pics look like 3/8")

looks too similar to the system they were carrying earlier this year. Boss bought them for our shop and they work and all the pieces so far have been interchangeable now they just have a paint job and hopefully badges. Edit it would **** if they have badges and people harvest them to make fake...

Guys why don't you just call the costco in Bakersfield to see if they stock it.

Though *** when I saw the wrench. Blew when saw nepros. Just good looking tools for the most part.

Good on you man.

Is the reason for the pass/fail thread to hide all of the HF failure into one condensed thread to appease the HF fanboys so people don't see how often they fail. I totally advocate its usage and I like the HF when it comes to disposable tools and some of there consumables. Just wanted...

Be different and order some lobster and tell me how they work out. I personally only have one and it is a Snappy, no complaints. Don't forget to order a metric one too.

That is what i was taught. I think I'm going to let the chips lie and focus on something new signed up for the hell class of my program this semester so maybe I will be kept busy/interested with it. zkling the reason why I don't like calling companies is because it is cheap too get a monkey...

my opinion exactly. In my opinion it is not worth it.

doesnt king **** sell the lady shaped slide hammers or am i thinking of a different brand?

I understand the that different tool paths can/will affect performance. Perhaps the SO socket is made with a less aggressive broach. Don't know how to test this without stepping foot on the line and inspecting the broach. My speculation is that the sockets are made with near identical processes...

According to my transcript today it says automation. I actually take a lot of materials, thermodynamics, fluids classes too. I choose automation based on the fact that most of the people graduating form my engineering program went with design as their specialization.

If it was in better shape i could see 100-125. as it sits i agree with 50-75.

So from your opinion would you interpret the 5% is closest makes no difference at the end of the day when it comes down to a 17mm chrome socket. This is all assuming same alloy similar grain structure. edit: forgot about grain structure

First thing I want to put out some data either proving the hardness because that seems to be go to line for people when they talk about tools, especially what makes SO stand out from the rest. Chose to compare williams because I'm tired of seeing brand bashing on this forum. Case in point, "why...

I was planning on hardness testing at the base drive end with chrome and then with chrome removed hence 20mm socket being used. We can also look at the micro-structure to see how well each socket was hardened. Such as if the Williams is only case hardened(doubt it though).

The reason why i am interested in sockets as opposed to open ended wrenches is that i think an open ended wrench is flawed by design. If you are going to grad a fastener would you rather grab it by two sides or all 6. Socket quality across most brands seems to be going into the ten tenths(to put...

you won't be disappointed

So if the RC was within 5% you would agree that they likely went through the same process?

So from this thread it mentions a SO dealer stating the williams is heat treated to a slightly lower hardness. No mention of alloy though. I have free access to the testing equipment. I just do not have any easy access williams to test. I'm going to pm the OP of this thread and see if he is...
