    Grease guns. Are ANY worth a crud?

    Alemite grease guns are not made in the US anymore. The new China made ones are not as good; they don't hold up to a good fall like the older ones. Macnaught makes a REALLY nice grease gun. It is Australian made. We just got a couple in last week, and they seem to be working out great - much...

    Do you buy filler tools?

    Nope. I will, however, buy tools expecting a need. For example, I needed a semi deep 9/16 sockets for an older 350, so i bought the entire set - not just the single socket.

    Sockets Tracking Lists

    Wow!! I am a little more simple. If I need something and don't have it, I'll buy a set. If I lose a socket, then I will just pick up a replacement the next time I'm see the truck/store.

    What sockets do other techs keep in the tool cart?

    I keep a few sets: 3/8 impact swivels, 3/8 midlength sockets and impact sockets. 1/2 deep impact and deep chrome sockets; 1/4 deep. All metric. I tend to do the same type of repairs often and my main box is only a couple yards away, so I don't need many sockets. Ratchets, screwdrivers, and...

    Mac Tools

    I like MAC's USA stuff. I just ordered a couple Spinflex ratchets - amazing ratchets. But, yea, you have to make sure you don't get stuck with something from Taiwan.

    Best lube for ratchets????

    It depends on the ratchet. I like Super Lube in everything except Matco 88 which get a very light coating of Valvoline Durablend grease.

    Is Matco still made in the USA?

    I am shocked at the amount of misinformation in this thread - even for the internet. My flare nut wrenches are stamped USA. I bought them last year. The ratchets are made in USA. The two texture grip handles are made in Taiwan so no USA stamp on them. My universal impact sockets are stamped...

    I like how you tell the OP what his needs are before calling his reply ignorant. Most people would have felt stupid typing that.

    SAE vs. metric?

    I just put up a new Sears garage door opener. The tracks, tension springs, and mounting bolts were SAE; the bolts on the housing was metric. I wonder how this list will change in 10 years time.....

    I have the short 60 degree offset double box end. They are made in USA. As for the quality, all my USA Matco wrenches are excellent - these are no exception.

    Snap-On Pricing Increase (Again?)

    I don't get it. Why do you care if I spend $500 on a set of wrenches?? I don't care if you spend $500 on a plasma tv, 22" rims or a stripper named 'Russell'.
