you think thats expensive ? I have one socket that was 135 . Ever do a Northstar waterpump? Ever seen a Honda crank socket ? 85 bux , at least you get 5 ratchet wrenches for that price.

The right tool can make the job EASY....The wrong tool can make it impossible.

northstar water pump sockets have gotten really cheap these days. i rememebr at my last shop the first time we had to buy one it was almost $100 only off the parts truck. Now you can goto a parts store and get one for $30. I do my shopping around. Sears has a 4 piece set of jumbo gearwrench ratcheting wrenches for $35. which is a steal cause if i bought a single one off a truck it be $35.

tools = money, a $120 snap-on swivel head ratchet is worth it's weight in gold over a $40 craptastic one from sears imo, but without tools I would make no money in my profession so of course I have a different mindset than most on them :lol .
