NICE! You are set... I have a short story.... I was a on off tech and then got a shop at 35 years old.. I only had a GM Goodwrench like 350 piece set and I was worried, BUT I made tools, ran to the harbor, lucked out at autozone but I did it.... I fixed cars no shop could... SO, my moral of this is that you are there and I want to see you in 10 years with that same box in your new shop, I promise you theres only 1 way.... HARD WORK!...

You've got a nice setup for the home, glad you don't feel the need to buy the "Best" products. Only thing I could suggest is maybe the Vessel JIS screwdrivers. I just used the #3 JIS philips on a WR426F and what a great fit with no hint of slipping under heavy load. Wish I had these back in the mid 80's when I started wrenching on my Suzukis. Not sure if they even still use philips on newer vehicles but if they do....

Sounds like you quickly noticed and admitted the Quality difference in the Snap-on Ratchet vs the HF-Icon Junk….the is even more quality in specialty tools built by Snap-on vs HF-Icon. My motto is to find the best tool for a reasonable price and invest once, such as my favorite (Carlyle from NAPA) which is competitive priced with NO hassle Lifetime Warranty. NAPA has stores all across the country and they offer great service.

Can I ask why you don't like the icon ratchets? I have a ton and like them more than any ratchet I've ever used. I've never used a snap on one so maybe thats what I'm missing out on.

There's going to be a 40% for the icon ratchet this upcoming August. I didn't see you had triple square and 6 points as well. Sockets I do cheap out on haven't had a problem with it, and I abuse them with my impact stubby 3/8.
