    That’s pretty extreme, even for someone who likes Martin machines!

    That is about half the going price in the US https://chadstoolbox.com/96030136-st...ve-socket-set/
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    I have a full set of sae and metric.

    Great wrenches, but I have two complaints.

    1. I still like an offset box end better.
    2. I have got a wrench stuck on a bolt because you have to flip the ratcheting end over to reverse it. I almost cut a wrench once, I was soooooo pissed at the time.

    I spin wrenches daily, it doesn't take long before you start buying nice stuff. I refuse to buy snap on or Mac. Local tool store that carrys Armstrong stuff, I donate to the owners kids college fund once a week.

    Better buy the Armstrong stuff you want quick, "they be dead" Apex kilt them off as of this summer.

    Gosh darn it.

    Time for more Hazet and Wera I guess.

    For cheaper stuff that I may loose, or abuse on purpose, Tekton stuff is pretty decent.

    1. I generally like inline better if I have the knuckle space

    2. Fortunately, it has never happened to me with a Wera and I had never thought about it but now I can see what a serious PITA it would be.

    The Tekton stuff is indeed decent for the money, I also have some GearWrench rarely used oddballs that seem well worth the price.

    It is extreme isn’t it.

    I had not thought of it that way but you are right.

    Still nothing like snapons prices though..
