I know there are weekend mechanics and professionals alike that read this
list. I would like to ask for your opinions on hand tools. I have a
basic set of Craftsman wrenches and sockets now. They work fine, at
times, I need a wrench with a thinner profile than the 'meaty' Craftsman.
I do believe that the value of good tools exceeds their usefulness as I
get tremendous satisfaction from using a quality tool even though I
probably don't need it.
I'm thinking of treating myself to a tool-a-month. Of course there are
Snap-On, Mac, and I heard there is a newer 'leaner' profile Craftsman. I
don't want to spend a fortune on tools as I'd rather put the money into
my MGB. As I collect better tools, I will move my current set down to my
son to start him a set of tools for himself.
What are your thoughts on tools? Please mention any of the brands above
as I am considering them. I'd like to hear from professionals as well as
others like myself.
