When I needed a thin wall professional grade socket to remove the
connecting rod nuts on the big end of the con-rod of my Lyc O-360, the
only widely available socket that would fit in the small area of the
nut, was a 12 point tall socket from Sears. Even the Snap-on socket had
a larger outside diameter, and was too large to fit in the space
provided. YMMV

I've had it with the El Cheapo Corp. tools I've been buying from vendors at
OSH and other places. When I really need them to deliver, they break or fail
to work as they should.

I need a set of QUALITY safety wire pliers (like the great ones we used to
use in the Marines in the late 70's and 80's, damn things always worked
perfectly), snips, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, etc. I'm not looking
for fancy displays at airshows or chrome plated crap or paying money for
brand names, I want reliable tools that I can rely on when I need them to do
their jobs.

Comments? Suggestions?
