Thread: Tool fettish

What kind of job are you working at? High quality tools darn sure make most jobs go better and faster. Two of my favorite tools are my Snap On 1/4” and 3/8” air ratchets. You can’t imagine how good those things are, until you actually use them.

BTW, a rivet gun is the one and only tool where I prefer Craftsman over a Snap On. To me the Snap on does not have enough leverage. Maybe my hands are just not tough enough.

I'm a technician at Fedex Express. We have 176 pieces of equipment here at our location. I over see the maintenance on another location where there are 22 trucks. We have a vendor there so what they can't fix or don't want to fix, I get to. We have semi tractors, trailers, straight trucks, pick up and delivery trucks, aircraft loaders, aircraft de icers, aircraft ground power units, cargo dollies, baggage carts, transition decks, air craft jacks and all the equipment for working on the air craft. A lift truck, cold busters, air start, all kinds of stuff. This requires a large variety of tools to have as well.

I agree the older wide wrenches are nice but they sure don't work well in most tight locations. I've got some SK wrenches and wish I would have purchased more at auctions over the years.
