    Who Uses KD/NAPA Sockets?

    Before I could afford Snap-On, MAC, etc, KD/NAPA sockets was my first choice. Tinkering on my own car at home today & using my KD tools got me to thinking & remembering how much I used them when starting out in the trade, and how KD rarely let me down. So, who else uses KD/NAPA brand and...

    What's Your Favorite Wrench?

    Mine is the old school SK raised panel wrenches. Not sure why though. They are ugly & are old. I just always grab one of those first. Maybe it's because it's because my dad bought them for me when I was fresh out of Vo-Tech & he has now passed. Or maybe because they have never let me down &...

    #1 Reason You Buy Truck Brands?

    So I was indexing my tools this week for the insurance guy & got to thinking about why I buy truck brands over other brands & why do I have more Snappy tools than MAC, Cornwell or Matco. My conclusion was SERVICE & CONVENIENCE plain and simple! While I can go to Sears to exchange a broken...

    Ever get tired of defending your tool brand?

    What I mean is, when Mr. Weekend Warrior-type(no offense) customer comes in the shop & insist that his $7, lifetime warranty Craftsman socket is as good as your $25 Snap On of the same size & thinks your an idiot for buying SO? I try to politely tell them I make a living w/my tools & simply...
