I'll just say my final word on this. I'm not hung up on China vs. Taiwan vs. whatever. Why does everyone freak out about "the Chicoms?" They were on our side in Red Dawn, people! WOLVERIIIIIIINES!!!!! anyway. The ratchets in the set I bought a decade ago: No idea where they were made...

Yeah, I think I'm gonna get on that as well. I have a much older pair of Craftsmans that I swear by...I guess I'll get a good enough look at them in the store before making the decision, hopefully.

These are on sale: http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-2-1-4-ton-jack-stands-2-pk/p-00950182000P anyone have any experience with this? anyone know the COO? Can never have too many jack stands...

took a spring out of one I had laying around. put it back together and it is ratcheting like a ratchet would. amazing. still feels like a chewy bag of ***, though. in the spare box it goes.

That's actually around the time I bought my set -- same deal, go to college repair guy. I had zero complaints with the set I bought back then. If they were the same quality I'd buy a set again as a spare no problemo.

Just took the ratchet apart -- the bit that actually retains the pawl is plastic. The plastic isn't stiff...it almost feels like the plastic that retains those super thin batteries in cheapo throwaway flashlights. You can feel the plastic in the ratchet...it's really chewy and disgusting and...

Probably the 15 piece -- I almost only ever do automotive work. Like I said, though, I'm not in any particular hurry to drop almost $200 on wrenches...I'd rather wait for a deal or a deal on something comparable.

Hello all, I'm looking to buy some solid wrenches...but I'm not in any particular hurry. I'm curious if you guys know if Wright or some seller of Wright products has deals periodically throughout the year I could keep an eye out for. I want that Wrightgrip ish...that bolt shearing video is...

Just tested the warranty ratchet I received in the mail. It immediately just binds up in loosen and tighten with a socket on it. Haven't even used it yet. So disappointed...I felt good about how the whole warranty thing went. Oh well. Guess I'll take it apart. Is this yet another "find...

Recently broke the Stanley 3/8 ratchet I bought in a cheap kit at Walmart roughly a decade+ ago. Served me well despite the amount of too-lazy-to-get-abreaker-bar-cheater-pipe abuse I gave it, and definitely paid for itself dozens of times over. I kind of liked it actually, and I was surprised...

I was asking around at work today -- a lot of people said those Hansen socket trays are not so skookum. What sort of plastic is it? I just googled that CM # on the socket boss. Def. discontinued, though some guy got a great deal on one with tools in 2005 haha. Sidebar: wtf is with sears...

Thanks for all the input. Everyone gets involved in this forum. I dig it. Ya ever go on a car forum or something for info and see that like 400 people viewed the thread but literally no one can tell you the pin out on an idle control module? Glad that doesn't ever seem to be the situation...

Here's what I think Ima do. Get some ****** ones of these spiels: http://hansenglobalinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/3801-Fractional-Socket-Tray.jpg Cut up some wood as long and as narrow of each row of the socket tray, and drill holes where the tip of the socket post will go...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm not really looking for something pretty to admire how beautiful and organized all my tools are -- I'm not one of those guys. I am, however, one of those guys who starts losing his **** when he can't find his deep well 6pt that he ******** KNOWS he brought...

You have tons of sockets. You often throw several of your portable toolboxes in your car to help a friend. You haven't got a garage, so portability is key for you. You basically rely on a few of these...
