Ah, i'd like to get the SK, but the last time I talked to the USA tools guy he said they were having some trouble getting stuff to him, and I had heard from a local place that sells SK that their bankruptcy stuff was causing trouble, of course after that mr usa tools assured me he didnt think it was going to slow them up much.

I'll wait a bit and see before buying more SK, just sucks being that their stuff seems reasonably priced, compared to snapon stuff at 3-4x the price, I have quite a few things snapon, but for the most part only stuff where its going to make a difference, or I didnt pay the snapontruckiscooltax.

I have a set of standard and metric blue-point ratcheting wrenches and I love them to death.. Never have to worry about rounding out old rusty bolts like crapsman

I love my gear wrenches to death, but one note.. if you dont get reversible wrenches, you had better make DAMN sure that whatever bolt your loosening has plenty of space behind it to get the wrench off! 3 times ive gotten one stuck in a terrible spot, and fought for almost an hour each trying to get the damn thing off the end of the bolt!

Dont nitpick tools you'll never own, retard.

They clearly list the 2nd 6 point as "50% rounded" whether a legitimate "fastener" or not, they still work great.

i agree, SK makes some nice tools, and yes are very well priced compared to snap-on/mac/matco

thats my favorite tool in my box.... i also own there biggest, non-hammer 18v drill, there 18v jigsaw, and there 18v shoplight.

the shoplight i'm unimpressed with, 50 bucks, comes with no battery or charger, and it eats batteries SOOOO fast. they shoulda went with LED's the jigsaw is amazing, i cut 1/4 inch steel plate with it on a regular basis. i love my dewalt 18v cordless stuff.

i know at over 300 dollars the impact seems expencive, but for being cordless, and the power it has.. its still a great deal. it knocks axel nuts off without hesitation, its incredible at the junkyard.

lol i feel you

i have a set of craftman wrenches like those that ARENT ratcheting, they really dont do much on rounded off bolts, but they do work on damn near everything else, the set was 20 bucks, and i really bought them just because the open end was so beefy
