Mechanics tools ? Wrenches , Sockets and Ratchets , whatever else .

I recently tried to pare down on all my wrenches, I have about 7 complete sets of combination wrenches from ¼-⅞ and 3-4 duplicates of the sizes up to 1 ½" or so. Maybe I should sell a set? Nah...
 
Add S-K to your list. For a long time S-K ratchets were my favorites.
However, I have cracked some S-K 1/2" drive sockets, way too easy.
Well stop breaking them! :D

If you weren't aware, sometime ago, SK Tools was sold to Great Star, a Chinese company. they said they would keep manufacturing in the USA but.....
 
I recently bought a couple of modern Olsa flex head ratchet wrenches, and they are light years better than my old Craftsman or Snap-on drivers. The back drag is super low, and they have a 90 tooth count drive gear, so they have very little wasted lash. Same goes for a recently purchased Koken. Vastly superior to the old stuff.
 
I'm going at it tomorrow . My chore for the day , or 2 or 3 . All nice wrenches , ratchets and sockets are going to be put in one place . You know I'm BSing , but it's gotta get done once and for all . :big grin:
 
And if I could only keep one tool..... my genuine "thumb detecting nut effer".... and only because it has the integrated thumb detector. Otheriwse, I don't like nut lathes, I never use them. :big grin:

I wanted to try a Koken, until I found out the direction lever is backwards, that drives me nuts & is a deal breaker for me.

So I ended up getting a couple of Nepros. But the damn things are too damn purdy, I'm scared to scratch them so I rarely use em. But I will man up one day, hopefully.

Which reminds me, I gifted Mikey a Nepros, MHRIP! I hope he got the chance to use it. I mentioned to him the same thing I just said he told me he would use them. That was before things started going downhill.

These are mine but I got him the same 3/8 ratchet.
