It's sounds like he needs a new job. At least you were there ready to help.

 

At 103 degrees, and a hefty 100lb box, I just wanted to be considerate

 

nah idk i think even superman would struggle in 100+ deg with moving weight around

 

i know i know

you're thinking "who would buy an amsoil filter when wix exists"

 

I'm 165lb and even I was struggling moving my weight around

 

Interesting suggestion, Facebook

 

you know suggestions are based on your search history, right?

 

Oof

 

Lots of people like that set for the case more than for the tools themselves. Not that the tools are bad, but the case is so much better than what anyone else sells.

If you're looking for a really nice ratchet, though, try the Gearwrench 90t ratchets. I use both the compact head (the 3/8 drive head is comparable to most 1/4 drive heads) and the locking flex-head. The Gearwench 90t seems to be better than their 120t, contrary to most people's "more is better" instincts.

 

Never carried for Milwaukee hand tools. Always felt like other brands had better quality for the same price or less. Like knipex, Klien and crescent. Or harbor freights icon line of stuff.

something about the ergonomics of the Milwaukee hand tools ive used in the past i dont like.

I like williams tools, tool truck brand quality but for not as much. Been getting my wrenches and sockets from them. Plus if i lose a wrench or a socket i just get a new one ordered through mcmaster carr.

How did today's troubleshooting go?

 

Must say though that if you need allen keys the colorful wera ones are by far the best. Expensive but worth it. Gone through many other brands in the past and nothing so far competes with the wera

$35 Wera 05022640001 950/9 Hex-Plus Multicolour Imperial 2 L-Key Set, Imperial, BlackLaser, 9 Pieces

I know Wera's good (some of my friends have those allen keys in their bike tool kits) but I'm put off by how toy-like all their tools look.

I use Bondhus allen keys. Good enough for my needs, USA-made, and I think they're about 1/2 the price of Wera.

 

Good to hear

Shit I think you texted me when you got your first set what, a few years ago? Take it that's the same set?

 

Yeah i don’t care for their style of tools. But these allen key’s replace my bondhus and id never go back

 

Yeah hose wera have treated me good. And impressed a few of my coworkers enough to go buy their own sets

 

Actually went and got the metric and torx sets too

 

We've got one north of us and another new one to the south now, it's been smokey as hell
