    My dad bought me a set of STANLY tools. I keep them in my truck. Really nice set. I have had them for years. They are probably not high quality but,they have served me well.

    Stanley are high quality tools with a lifetime warranty. I have removed Cummins head bolts with a 1/2" ratchet with a pipe slid over the handle. The handle ended up with big bend in it, but the ratchet part held.

    I hear people talking about Mac,Snap-On,Craftsman. I like my set of Stanley. It is nice to hear that they are quality.

    I don't remember you ever sticking a socket on a ratchet :biggrin_25525:

    I changed a headlight yesterday. A few weeks ago my wife and I fixed a fuel tank strap on Pete's truck. My wife is more mechanical than I am. I am not patient enough. Most good mechanics are patient. They look the problem over and work through the problem. Usually, When I try to fix something it usually really ends up poorly.

    AMPM, just so you know your Stanley tools are made by the same company that makes Mac tools. They even have Stanley tools in the Mac tool catalogs. You can also go to Lowes and get Kobalt tools which is made by Snap-on just cheaper.
     
    jpatasl and ampm wayne Thank this.
