I had a nice socket/ratchet set give to me in 1977 by the guys at the plant. They are still my "go to" sockets. Just saying....but I also have the "old" craftsman, a very few snap-on and use them all.
....I will add that in 1969 my wife (at that time) worked at Western Auto. I have a set of Westline sockets that have done very well. She also bought me some "western Auto" boxed end wrenches" and 3 or 4 of them are my favorite "go to" wrenches". Nice, thick and long with different size one each end. I know we need "combination" wrenches but I try to stay away from that kind unless I have a need for them.
Back on topic: for the BIG sockets I try to keep a watch at Northern Tool not far from me. It seems about once a year they throw all their sockets into a wooden bin and for a couple bucks each you can load up. They are not pretty but thick and appears to be tough. Most impact type sockets have that old matte black finish anyway. I'm hoping they will want to clean house again before or after Christmas. I'm gonna buy'em out!!! | | |
