If you were to use Snap-on for a while you would understand the cost and realize that Craftsman is pretty much in the crap category.

The difference is when you need to handle them for a living, you soon appreciate the quality. And believe it or not, there are some nuts or bolts that will work better by using a Snap-On. Face it, they couldn't stay in business with those prices if they didn't have something! Ebay prices have been reasonable as of late. FYI - those "Kobalt" tools you can buy at Lowe's are manufactured by Snap-On. So for some of you folks that can't see spending a fortune on hand tools, you can get your stuff at a discount hardware store and possibly have some quality, too. |

I bought a decent set of sockets at Lowes last year, but they aren't Kobalt. George Patterson A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip. |

Oh, sounds like one of my brainier ideas to same time or limit the trips that it would take to do something. I too are of the same nature. Bryan "the monk" Chaisone |

What tools do you take along for a two day XC? - Mike
List most things, "it depends". What tools would you be prepared to use, if you had them? An experienced mechanic might decide to carry tools that would be inappropriate (or dangerous) in the hands of someone who hasn't learned yet which end of the screwdriver to hit with the wrench. How much weight do you have to work with? Those rivet sets can get heavy... Related to that is the type of aircraft. A J3 will have considerably different tool-use possibilities than your Gulfstream V. Where will you be going? If you're going out into the wilderness, you might want to take more tools (and parts!) than if you were going to be in a major metro area. (remove the i's to reply via email) |
