Sae Metric
What are some good brands of tools…hand tools and automotive tools?
I’m looking for tool sets, and I need to know which ones are decent. If I get an automotive set, I’d like it to have a full metric/SAE socket wrench set.
Part of the reason that they sell Craftsman sets in such large sets, with over 100 socket in a set in some cases, is that you will find reasons for all of the different sockets, even though you often will get 3 of the same size. For instance, a 6 sided socket is the best if you need to get a very firm grip on a tight nut. But if you have a very small range of motion, a 12 sided socket will help you get the socket on the nut whereas you may not have the proper angle with a 6 sided socket.
Deep well sockets are very useful for certain jobs, including ones where the bolt is too long for the smaller sockets. They also have angled sockets that allow you to get into tight areas that cannot be approached straight on.
I don’t work for sears or anything, but i noticed that they currently have a 96 or 98 socket set on sale for just under $$100. It had all three socket wrench sizes, 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2 in it. Looked like a pretty good deal to me.
If you actually are a real mechanic you probably want to go with something better than craftsman. Snap-On is the name I have been told is one of the best. At a refinery I worked at I often saw Rigid tools.
Good luck
