    I see your point on that... I guess I was naive to think all sockets would be the same size, that probably has to do with quality control and the cheaper ones won't be as strict with quality. Sunex for the most part has great reviews by everyone that has them, even on this site...

    Ahh I'm not picky if my tools come from Asia or USA. From what I've read about Sunex they seem to be a good Asian brand. Still, I might just get craftsmen instead... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-24-pc-easy-to-read-impact-socket/p-00915389000P?prdNo=8 Price per socket is pretty much the...

    I thought American cars used SAE? Whoops :P I guess everyone's going metric. Used craftsman on eBay for some reason is the same price as sears :P lol. I guess I could forgo the SAE set for now, and get a better brand. I did like the Sunex socket sets, they're very complete...

    I can't really afford a full set of Snap On. Even on eBay a 1 set is as much as 4 sets of the cheap stuff. The minimum I'd want as 10-19 metric and 7/16-1 SAE, no deep really needed. That would cost about $200 on eBay. Maybe in the future I can afford the nicer tools, but the cheap Asian...

    Do you think that ratchet can get off the caliper bolts? I tend to do peoples breaks the most and it's where the ratchet would come in handy. The craftsmen that was closest to the price of those HF's was this...

    lmao oh, it was a spelling error. D'oh! x_x All the tools I've found had to have good reviews, its the only way I'd trust them. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to buy name brand things! I'm sure they're made with far better quality. But a lifetime warranty on all the hand tools, I don't think...

    Ahh just speaking the truth. I think my comment about 1/4 inch sockets proves that :P I think I'll be good learning here, I've been lurking on the "Show your new tool" thread for a while now, its giving me ideas on things to buy for next year.

    The thing is I leave near a harborfreight, so returns will be easy on broken sockets and such. Only reason I'm getting the torque wrench somewhere else is because I don't like the 3 1/2 stars they have on theirs. :P I'm pretty sure I'll be getting that breaker bar, the 25" one. 12 bucks, I...

    It woulda been nice if you made it easy and told me :( ... Best thought I have on that is they're smaller so they can fit into tighter places? Just a guess. All I have been using on my car were a set of 16 1/2 sockets both metric and sae. I do have to borrow a socket here and there from my...

    I have all the hand tools I've needed so far and those are things I can run to sears if I find I don't have something. $300 wont put me in debt, I just don't want to spend a grand on tools. I guessed that was a safe number to start with. I figured bigger was always better, if it went up to...

    Tool shopping, suggestions?

    UPDATED Hi! I wanted to go on a bit of a spending spree and start off my tool collection. I defiantly (I don't wanna correct the spelling :P) don't know the most about tools. I just need them to fix and maintain my car and my families. Tired of borrowing tools from my friends and step dad...
