It's all your fault

[Jawn]

Before I joined this site, I was perfectly fine with my taiwanese tools and considered Craftsman stuff a "pie in the sky" goal to reach for someday. Reading some threads, I saw mention of "SK". I'd never even heard of it.

But thanks to you turkeys, I got my hands on a little SK stuff and now I'm hooked (check the sig).



SK, it's like crack...

 

[Lump]

LOL! Welcome to the addiction. Enjoy.

 

[punkenduro]

heres a idea then, STAY AWAY FROM SNAP ON AT ALL COST. when i was left with just a craftsman ratchet for a while when i was having my snap on dual 80 warrantied, i realized theres a huge huge diffrence. glad i got mine back, im whole again.

Any other drugs we can push on you just let us know. So far I've got three roll around tool boxes, HF Earthquake impact wrench, a couple compressors, a sandblast cabinet, HVLP spray guns and too many hand tools to list, ALL since I came here..."not that there's anything wrong with it...." ha ha.

GJ one of the few places where having a dozen 3/8 ratchets makes you feel deprived.

BTW some very sweet collections of SK on this forum.

Yup, this is a dangerous place. Before coming here I had no Snap-On ratchets. Now...I have a few.

I agree COMPLETELY....stay away from the dual 80's.....their super sweetness is addictive!

 

[binkcat16]

snapon is worse than crack!!

 

[metalhead212121]

soon or later Jon you will be buying snap on.... that will be the nail in the coffin for you! Ask me how I know......

Eh. I have two SO tools. The second one I promptly put an angle grinder to.

The first one sits unused.

Addiction shmaddiction.

 

[Knuckle Buster]

I blame 90-250. He made it to easy for me to find more Proto.

Definitely. I have too many and still need a few more

 

[csmitty]

SK is a gateway drug. Do NOT touch a dual 80. no matter what anyone says.

 

[Appleyard]

Avoid the classifieds here. I had to barr myself from looking. Too easy to buy such nice things...

 

[fvfvsix]

Yeah, try explaining to your wife why you bought 12 ratchets last month!

Lol. That doesn't sound easy

 

[american lockpicker]

Get the French SK its Facom.

 

[AZ_Catskinner]

Nothing wrong with SK!

 

[dodge610]

Your hooked were all junkies here rehab wont help so enjoy the high and shoot up just like everyone else. LOL

 

[SweetD]

Man I agree...I'm certainly no "pro" when it comes to need for hand tools...simply a Weekend Warrior...

But, since joining this site, I have had to really curb my enthusiasm...my suggestion would be to focus on one brand for collecting.

I should really try to take my own advice.

I always appreciated good quality tools. Joining Garage Journal just made me start taking more of an appreciation for old tools. I am now addicted to the hunt.

 

[fr0mastaj]

+whatever on staying away from Snap On. I was fine and dandy with my CMan stuff for years...then got an F80 from the Classified section here to see what all the hubbub was about... now I dont have all that much cman anymore, or money for that matter

aww, but I want one!

 

[csmitty]

Just don't say we didn't warn you. Your ratchet drawer will end up looking like this before you know it. And its probably mild by GJ standards. Pay no attention to the proto and corwell though.

Thx to this forum I got hooked on Hazet. I didnt know what it was untill you came into my life

Good thing I don't have a Porsche or BMW... otherwise I'd probably have to have some Hazet.


As to the ratchet addiction... I'm already lusting after a couple more SK Palm Control ratts... snagged a 1/4" one a while back and it's sweet. Recently filled in some flex ratchet lusting thanks to the classified forum here (1/4", as well as 3/8" stubby and long).

You cannt go wrong with the german stuff

 

[PinkLinc]

Yep... thanks to this forum I just replaced my last Cman wrench with a Snappy... it's an 1 1/16... I have never used anything that big and probably never will... just couldn't stand the site of that big, ugly raised panel wrench in my Snap On wrench rack. Welcome to the sickness!

 

[tjmonsen5]

I just replaced my set of Ace wrenches, with some Flank Drive plus. I could have filled an entire toobox with that kind of money at harbor freight, but i already have all those tools... time to play with big boy toys. no more chinese junk.

 

[Squankum]

I've always thought so!

You can, however, go broke with the German stuff!

 

[dodge610]
