Well i went out today and bought myself some tools to do that header/brake job for my car. Sears is having a sale. I got the 122 pc. Socket set and a 150 ft. lb. torque wrench. The clicky one. Nice stuff. These will come in handy when i go to change rims and do some work. I saw alot of tools for good prices. I was eye'n the 1201 pc. socket/racing mechanics tool set but decided against it ......$5,999.00??? Yep chump change for that sucka!

i love craftsman tool. i have a torque wrench w/ their name to. if your not familiar w/ torque wrenches, here are someful tips. Never use the torque wrench to break a faster or nut loose. the torque wrench is a presice, calibrated piece of equipment. and always set to zero or to the lowest setting when finished. keep clean and wipe after every use. also, you shouldn't even use a ratchet to break fasteners free. if you havent already, invest in a set of box end wrenches or open ended wrenches (better yet, get combination wrenches where one side is box end and the other side is open end). i picked up a set at sear for $75 when it was on sale. have fun working on your car, the tools usually pay for themselves after the first job

Craftsman makes some good quality tools...I have them at my place, but the cool thing is that I have the advantage of having a friend whose father works for Snap-On tools, so whenever I am about to put something new on I can just go over to his house and use all of the tools...sweet...

i love snap-on. snap-on is the best when it comes to tools made in the states. there is a company called facom which also has incredible tools. you get a set when you certain exotics. for the weekend mechanic, craftsman is best choice out there

I work at sears and there isnt a damn thing we can do because we cant prove where you got them. for all we know they were your grandfathers. however, if you keep doing it we will catch on and we will screw with you one way or another.
