I am replacing the tools I use all the time with snap on or other high quality brand.

BoneZ

I need to get some really good screw drivers.

When I was working as a mechanic. All my tools was Snap-On. Then when I worked for Elliott and was traveling. My Snap-On tools became my shop tools. And I bought Craftsman as my traveling tools. If I broke a Snap-On tool. I had to wait until Tuesday to get it replaced at the shop. Can't do that on the road. That's why I used Craftsman. If I broke a Craftsman tool on the road. I just find a Sears. So I have 2 sets of tools now.

A Snap-On wrench will turn a rounded bolt where a Craftsman or other cheap wrench will not.

DO NOT use an impact gun on chrome MAC sockets unless you want shrapnel in your hand. They explode.

I figure the other tools in the garage can be used by the neanderthals that I let wrench in the garage.

I picked up SO 6 pc. wobble extension set and 12 pc. 6 point, 8-19mm socket set this morning.

I buy quality hand tools. Power tools I typically pick up the combo set and if I use one of them enough that it breaks, I replace that one with a quality replacement. I like to work with my hands but I don’t make a living at it, so I don’t see a need for top shelf everything.

Exactly. That is why replacing just the stuff I use all the time is my goal. I dont care who makes my dead blow hammer, its a dead blow hammer I hit things with.
For power tools, I rarely use anything beyond a sawzall or drill as I have a large air compressor available. With that being said, JC had a REALLY nice Rigid cordless impact that I have coveted.

Had a nice nap. Eye lids got heavy around 6pm. Got horizontal in my lazyboy, covered up with my blanket. Didn't hear a thing until 8. Feel pretty good.
