Tools - where to buy

yep sorry for the misspell it is Klein and they make the best screwdrivers ever, ask any electrician what they use and it's Klein. They have a good selection at Lowes, Home Depot, and Sears.
 
Ask for Allen head screw socket set. You will receive a set of what look like short allen wrenches with out the bend attached to a 3/8ths drive square hole.

Socket head screws are one of the best bolts. Just the coolest neatest way to assemble things.

I've been wanting a set of these.

Hey Brian if you get the wobbles make sure they are the good ones, and dont use them for torque or breaking loose hard fasteners. Just my experince.
 
It's funny I was looking at the image earlier and thinking the same thing. If your not squared up right you could throw your torque off.

And some more wise words. Ball drivers are the shiznit in cramped spots, but not good in high-torque applications.
A good place to shop for tools is Amazon's tool section. They bought out a place called "Tool Crib of the North", in Grand Forks ND USA. I lived there from '92 to '95; the Saturday I discovered this tool store, well, I spent over five hours browsing! They had 15 different tablesaws (!) on the floor, with massive quantities of other tools all over the place! They had a great catalog; I imagine now that Amazon owns them it's all Intranetz-based... :(
 
Honestly I have 4 ratchets,2 craftsmen, a mac and a kobalt. I have had the mac rebuilt 3 times and it is broke again. My craftsmen and kobalt have never broke and I have them just as long as the mac.
And I use my tools almost everyday.
 
My old Dad's advice, was to buy the best tools you can afford.

He bought me a Geodore socket set when I was 18 (thirty years ago). It's as good as new & trust me it's had some abuse over the years. I replaced the rachet many years ago, cos' I lost the original. Other than that, I can't see any reason why this kit won't last me a lifetime.
 
I just thought of something "Pawn Shops!" If you can find a tool in decent condition that has a lifetime warranty, it's jusst as good as getting a new tool.
