    Cordless ratchet recommendations

    I like my M12 Fuel High Speed 3/8ths...I broke a Non-Fuel 3/8 but my repair center had it fixed pretty much on the spot, I guess they have a known weak spot.

    Box wrench options

    Tekton is on par with Gearwrench husky lowes harbor freight-pro line....or any other Taiwan company. The nice thing is you get a complete set of middle of the road metric and sae wrenches for 200 bucks.....all of the companies I listed will swap something out no questions asked. In my old...

    SK Steals and Deals

    50 bucks for 12 SK sockets is a pretty good deal IMO...plus free shipping. So the occasional deal becomes even sweeter

    I was thinking that as well, my needs are automotive, rusty bolts on brakes, suspension components etc. on old Square Body Pickups....im also not afraid to use heat, PB-Blaster and a breaker bar. Plus my daily driver and the wife's, I don't think the stubby would have any issue tackling...

    Teng vs. Tekton

    I like tekton, their strengths really seem to be sockets, and as of late ratchets. I have their complete Chrome sets in 3/8th and 1/2, and recently a bent handle 3/8 flex and a flex head 1/4 ratchets….all good to go. The wrench selection is nice, but I am still a bit skeptical, your money may...

    Long Handled 1/2" Drive Ratchet

    I get really skiddish about buying used hand tools....In my previous life I had the luxury of having access to a SO truck and he would work with us to swap tools out when we broke them, and come to us, half the cost of snap-on seems to be the convince of it all. But i'm not sure a SO truck...

    I'm really liking the idea of an M12 Fuel Stubby 1/2 impact to run in conjunction with an M18 Fuel high Output. seems like a winning combination.

    Tool companies that have been run into the ground

    Milwaukee makes, i would argue, the best power tools on the market today in the M18 Fuel line. They seem to be doing just fine lol.

    Quality tools are worth the money.

    The nice thing is you can get individual specialty tools from SO or Mac or whoever....I would argue that spending SO money on largely generic(say a 3/8 chrome socket set for arguments sake) as a DIY guy is foolish, it is absolutely diminishing returns ONCE you get to the middle of the road...

    Quality tools are worth the money.

    Some Tools are worth buying from Snap-on IMO, a lot of tools getting by with the middle of the road stuff is absolutely fine and will not make one bit of difference, and as a homeowner or a DIY guy is actually easier to warranty. Quality Electric tools(impacts etc.), say the Milwaukee M18/12...
