Well I once again seek advice. I am getting a new job working on natural gas engines offshore and pretty much have most of my tool bag together, but need to add a socket set to it. The sockets I will be needing are a full set of 1/2" drive deep 12 point sockets from 3/8" to 1 1/4". I already have my trusty craftsman set but would like to keep that for home use. I was looking at the proto set that most other mechanics have, but it sells for around $200, and while that seems reasonable I just can't see myself working offshore in 400 foot of water and accidently drop a socket and see in fall through the grading and into the water. I know losing tools is a part of working in the field, but I think I would prefer not to spend that much on something so easily lost. I am wondering from you guys what brand is still considered good but is still priced low enough to not cry over if it gets lost? These sockets will get used and used hard, spark plugs in the cast iron heads out there tend to rust in TIGHT, and the 1 1/8" deep socket needed will probably have a breaker bar and cheater pipe on it at some point. All mechanics bring 12 point sockets due to having to carry and fit everything in a tool bag, the helicopters we fly in have weight limits on personnel and cargo. Just the weight on one cylinder head at 200 pounds can make the difference between a 1 hour flight and a 12 hour boat ride, so the less weight I carry the happier my day is. I was looking at the kobalts at lowes, but figured I would ask you guys before I jump into a tool purchase.
