i have only craftsman and snap-on tools never had a problem with any of them. as for the welder since you wont be doing any long term jobs with it just get a cambell housefield one at wal-mart....they get the job done.

 

best tool i have EVER owned..

they are chrome sockets normal run-of-the-mill.. i have impacted with them without flacking stretching ro cracking.. i have taken off and put on suspension bolts with an ingersol and they hold up fine.. what are they you ask?

Premier Edition availabel at Sams Club.. they sell a whole big set with ALL metric and amaerican.. just like those kits that have only popular sizes.. its a BIG set.. AND affordable!


im going to buy another set just b/c over time sockets grow legs

 

I have my crafstamnd hand impact driver...yeah the socket is starting to shear apart...3/4 inch extension Jp snapped that one half inch I snapped that one.
