I have to get a set. I just keep delaying it... Trying to get the turbo charger's shield off & on without it on that back bolt is nearly disastrous to those without oriental sized hands.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

You can save $14 buying these in the pouch instead of the plastic keeperZionXIX wrote: ↑25 Jan 2018, 17:39 I received a set of Tekton brand 6pt flex head ratcheting box end wrenches for Christmas 2 years ago.

Yeah... odd price difference for a couple cents worth of fabric vs. plastic.abscate wrote: ↑27 Jan 2018, 09:35You can save $14 buying these in the pouch instead of the plastic keeperZionXIX wrote: ↑25 Jan 2018, 17:39 I received a set of Tekton brand 6pt flex head ratcheting box end wrenches for Christmas 2 years ago.

My Dad bought Gedore in 1979 when he needed some wrenches for a job he just started. He figured they were cheap and when they were broken the company always replaced them with Craftsman. They are miserable narrow shanked, finger cutting things but he hasn't broken one yet after 40 years as an industrial millwright.kaneelschep wrote: ↑24 Jan 2018, 08:09 My wrenches and rings from 6mm to 32mm are basicly all Gedore. Some even double or triple. Inherited from my dad.

When we are old someone will buy our tools for 2 cents, telling our kids that "SNAP ON" was a childs brand of toy.
