I first realized this when I would stay up late at night watching tool reviews and making purchases for tools I’d likely never need. But because I can’t say for sure I’d never need them, I bought them. The odds are slim to none I’ll ever do my own engine rebuild. But did that stop me from buying a cylinder honing kit? No, because I am a tool addict and I need help.”

They have the size of the socket on the base of the socket holder, so you can actually see what size socket is which. Have a look, you won't be disappointed.

Yes I clean them after every major job. Makes them look nice but also they are easier to grip and helps keeps cars clean that I am working on!

Couple minutes in and already bought something. I should have heeded the warning. WLYK by the end what else I get if I don't run out of money first. LOL

Sooo if you already tasted that fine German tooling with the Knipex… YOU better get also some of that Wera Allen-sockets. Available in metric and imperial. With these you never will strip out that freaking hex bolt. Also with holding function in hex and Torx. Also these Cobras rescued my ass a couple of times. (:

Harbor freight has the exact same shallow socket cheaper than Astro! I think it’s by Quinn.

Yes I have seen it. Harbor Freight has some great stuff for sure- but also a lot of horrifically terrible stuff that won't last a day. I have a few Pittsburgh hand tools that are good and I have a floor jack from them thats easily my best floor jack by far and it's over 8 years old!
