Don't you remember how that one ended?

 

Go Pats!

 

Boo Pats!

 

do any of yall work with tools?

 

Power? Hand?
My old job we worked with hand tools (Socket sets, ratchets) and air tools (Air impacts).
And I've worked with many, many power tools over the years.

 

i have all the basic hand tools and drill and impact but i stugle with having the right stuff at the right time. i was wondering how you guys did your tool set up. ( bags, boxes etc

 

I only carry basic tools in my truck (metric wrenches in the center console).
My setup at home is this box http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-...p-00931783000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

But I also have a full size tool box with random tools in it (Shit ton of sockets, random wrenches in standard and metric, air impact (which is an older version of this), metric ratcheting wrench set, and allen wrenches)

 

Yes

 

Mechanic, why do you ask?

 

All my tools are craftsman, snap-on or kobalt.

I just have an old craftsman top box that has a full set of metric and standard wrenches, a used socket set, a pliers set, a crescent wrench set, a metric and standard alan wrenches, rubber mallets, a few claw hammers and pry bars, a small set of screw drivers, some special wrenches and sockets that grab any bolts or nuts, a few tape measures, levels, a full set of visegrip pliers.....

I also have a full tool bag and tote in my truck with much of the same

 

All of my stuff is snap on, cornwell, mac, or craftsman. three size drive ratchets, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2. I have two impact guns, 1/2 in drive rated to 1200 foot pounds. And a 3/8 in drive rated to 200 foot pounds. I have both a complete set of metric and standard ratcheting wrenches. A full set of straight wrenches. a 3 inch air cut off wheel. 4.4 inch angle grinder. Socket sizes 5mm-35. Standard 3/16- 1 1/2. Also a full set of impact sockets. Car diagnostic tool. All vice grips, all screwdrivers. full set of nut setters. Channellocks. Oil filter wrenches.

 

Have acraftsman box now. would rather have a husky from Home depot. Cheaper, and bigger. Same quality.

 

Snap-on, Matco, and most of the other big names have budget brands that offer the same warranty but Lower prices because they are made for that company by another company.
If you are going to be involved in weekend jobs regularly or use your tools often those are your best bet (IMO).

Snap on ratchets are very nice, much nicer than my craftsman ratchets.
If you have craftsman rarchets you can smoothen them up a little by pulling the retainer clip, removing the face of the ratchet, cleaning the interior, and greasing it with wheel bearing grease, much smoother and quiter than before, but still not quite as smooth as snap on.

 

see while working on the weekends for my dad i have to unload and load my tools into my truck or from my truck to a work truck i have to drive. i just want something with one or two bags that will hold all of my shit. i carry a small kobalt socket set. alot of hand tools, and drill and impact. i have a shit load of tools in my garage but this is just for stuff i carry while i work. the summer will be easier because i can just leave everything in my truck but idk and idk if have the stuff i have in my bags will i even use

 

Ill show u a tool i use very regularly LOL
