No i didn't work for USPS but I did work on a few different types of our nations Military aircraft. So they're pretty darn cautious over tool control.

Also popparoach had asked what I payed for the ratcheting locking flex head wrenches.
I bought them both together for $281 i think.

That tiny flex head 1/4" drive socket came with the very small case of universal sockets. They are supposed to work on a few different types of fasteners.
It's the only Sunex item that I have purchased so far. It looks to be vert well made. Even the case. And if anyone were to ask me why I chose to buy it...because it just looks cool, and for me sometimes that's all it takes!

At this point I know I will be purchasing a different tool box but not very long ago i allmost pulled the trigger on this nice looking small Sunex utility cart with drawers a locking kid and locking storage area for pry bars etc...
It also came with a free bench grinder.
Does anyone have experience with the types of smaller utility type carts.
I have investigated one at a local tool store and it looked like it was pretty darn sturdy. But still at this point i would need about 2 of those in comparison to one larger box.

I'm also going to need advice from experience with wrench racks.
I will need to purchase a few nice ones that hold the wrenches in place as they are being carried from place to place. I know the ones that came with my gearwrench ratchets are doing a graet job.
Anyone out there have any ideas?

Okay. I've been looking thru a few options to replace my warped up junky tekton combination wrenches and I came up with the tektons in racks, not folded pouches. The sunex brand which looks quite nice but it only comes with a tool roll on both sets. And last for now, the S and K which are the most expesive but there pretty good lookin. They also only come in a roll.
Now I'm gonna do what i feel is best for me but I've read though a lot of posts here and i have to have faith that you guys have already had experience with this business. Any thoughts would be great! And again, Thanks to all!!

the tekton with the trays will suit your needs. plus they come with a tray so that kills 2 birds with one stone. they have a GREAT warranty as well. we even have a tekton rep on this site that will handle all your needs.

id return the ones in that black holder and buy the ones in the trays. they are not the same wrenches.

if you need the missing sizes for the same wrenches that match the ones in the trays these are it...

metric
18275 6mm
18276 7mm
18294 23mm
18295 24mm

SAE
18267 1-1/16
18268 1-1/8
18269 1-3/16
18271 1-1/4

Okay. I think that's the direction ill5go with it and get them ordered tonight maybe.
As far as the other sets go, i may just hang on to them. You never know when a situation that calls for two of the same wrenches to work the task. Or maybe I'll just give them to my freind instead. He really wants to build up on his collection as well.
Thanks for the reply!!!

What's going on with the wrenches?

fngrtoe · Oct 8, 2015

They are warped and pitted. There are scratches in the finish.

Could you send me some pictures of the damage? I can get some replacements out to you. From the pictures posted it's tough to see what is warped. If you're looking at other sets, I can probably help get this straighten out for you.

Thanks,

I can try to get some pics. It's great you would offer replacements as well but I ordered the Tektons that come in the rack last night.

Well send those over when you can and we will figure something out. Let me know what you paid for them in the email if you don't mind.

fngrtoe · Oct 8, 2015

I will. Thank you very much for the help.

I've been wondering about just using a tool cat to start with while I try to find something bigger.
I have been a bit interested in the 5 drawer Sunex utility cart. It is also offered with a free sunex bench grinder.
Does anyone have any experience with these tool carts. I would like to know of one thats closer to 40"wide an 20" deep. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Back a ways in the thread shoggoth 80 said "details on the long handled ratchets".
I'm sorry I haven't caught that untill now but if you were wanting the details, they are made by Klutch. They were just over $50 on amazon. They are toothed somewhat course in the guts and the are a free floating flex head. No locks. The longest one is 1/2" drive at 24". The middle is 3/8" drive at about 16"-18". The smallest one is of course the 1/4" drive and 12".
Sorry I missed that and it took so long to respond.
