30Hz.wav Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 My current tool set with random missing sockets has got to go. It was given to me as a gift and I can tell it came from walmart. The ratchet always broke on me. I like to do small jobs on cars, and go as far as to changing suspension related parts. Could someone help recommend a good tool set for around 200$ from sears or elsewhere... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/s_10153_12605_Tools_Auto+%26+Mechanics+Tools_Mechanics+Tool+Sets I have a few craftsman ratchets that broke twice on me when removing a cv axel nut. (Shoulda used a breaker bar, which I didn't have) Is there anything better than craftsman and with good warranty for the price range I am looking for? Any help is appreciated. I have used the same crappy tool set for 4 years and it's about time for an upgrade. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwatersaver Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) look on ebay for Napa tools. You can get them at a great price. They are very easy to exchange at Napa when broken, I have not broken any yet. Look for KD or gearwrench sets too, sometimes you can get a set cheap. They are also lifetime warranty at napa or sears. BTW keep you cheap tools you will never know when you will need to bend a cheap wrench or cut one shorter.

bassface Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I dont like the new style of craftman ratchets, the old ones would last forever, the new ones seem to have gear trouble after a couple years. If sears carries husky I would pick that over craftsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
