    Underrated tools

    I agree Genius is under rated. We have been selling them for years. We supply a number of colleges and the guys love them. The heavy equipment guys love the 1" impact sockets. I think Grey Pneumatic manufacturers a nice line of tools as well.

    I agree with Joelske's post. I also feel there is no need to purchase a Ferrari just to drive to the store. You have time to accumulate tools. There is no need to impress anyone with over priced tools. There are plenty of online deals. Many of the manufactures have also dropped their...
