Re: Sears...... (Rant)S

I love the GeaR Wrenches. They also have a ratcheting screwdriver there for around 20$ that is a dead ringer in looks and feel of the $60 Snap On model


I don't know how long the Craftsman stuff will last working on cars, but i know aviation mechanics who keep 'em foreever.
Airplanes usually deal with much lower torque values than cars though. Many aviation fasteners are true 12 pt fasteners as well (so there is a use for those things after all -- lol)

I used Snap On stuff when i worked in the hangar, but now that i am on to other things, i cant justify the cost. I have been building my metric set as i go along with Craftsman stuff -- have noticed the nickel flaking off my most used sockets though.

I was there today and got a mid box and a 9 dr top box to add to one of my roll-a-ways --- good sales right now on some stuff

Good luck with your new job
