dont waste your money on harbor freight or even craftsman. for flare nut wrenches you want the best there is. snap-on.

the cheaper 1s flex and will still round off the nut.

[quote=""lawdogg""]I've broken 2 ratchets, a screwdriver, a flex extension, and several sockets by snap-on. I've never broken a single craftsman tool, and all the cheap tools I broke I've been able to replace for $2. So ... yeah. :p

Never had flex issues with craftsman.[/quote]

ive had the other way around. broke tons of craftsman. broke ONE snap on 10mm socket. ive had a ton of craftsman ratchets die on me too (internally) never once have i had a snap on break or sieze up. broke 1 snap on 1/4 drive ratchet too. same bolt that broke the 10mm.


do as you wish though. i only use my tools every day/all day

[quote=""vr4""] i only use my tools every day/all day[/quote]Me too (used to anyway) and i use craftsman. Ive broken a few but the nice thing is you can go to sears and get a new one and finish the job the same day. My flare nut wrenches are SK though, and i have a 24" 1/2 flex ratchet by Matco

Funny thing is "great neck" is the only head bolt socket i HAVEN'T broke and its like $1 at ametuer zone :p

viSe grips, not vice grips! They have nothing to do with prostitution, illegal drugs, or illegal gambling! Unless, of course, you're not doing it right :D
