C'mon, now ............
All this falderal about Craftsman ............. Mac ........... Proto
............. Snap-on. Just how many 9/16" wrenches does one guy need? And same with sockets? And just how good is any 9/16" socket if you don't put a 3/8" to 3/4" adapter on it with a three foot cheater pipe? Now, I know there are world's of difference in the ratchet assemblies of various ratchets with multiple moving parts, but with the rest of it, what's the big deal? Having a full on set of Snap-On (substitute the name of any Better than Yours Tool) does not mean much. Stupid mechanics with a chest full of tools have a problem of changing plugs without stripping three of eight. True mechanics can have you back on the road with roadside tools and a drop light. It has nothing to do with the tools. It has to do with knowledge. If you know what you're doing, the tools are secondary. Steve |
