fwiw, most sockets now incorporate the ogv architecture. in fact, I don't
think I've seen a straight-sided flat for a while. even craftsman is doing it.
now tight they fit I couldn't say, but my macs and snap-ons do well.
I'm a long-time facom disciple, but it's the screwdrivers that are the
must-haves. for sockets I like snap-on. wrenches, mac knuckle-savers, etc.,
etc. especially with the euro where it is now. I can only imagine what
they're asking for facom stuff nowadays. facom ratchet handles, though.
almost too nice to get grimy. get the s-k handle for the rough work.
I was going to respond to his question with: what does volvo recommend you use?
