I think Husky has the lifetime warranty too. They may break more often than snapon but at least you can afford them to start with. Been a long time since I broke a socket

If you are working on a vehicle that has a computer, you really should find a qualified mechanic first. Find one that won't mind if you watch him/her fix your vehicle, and ask a lot of questions. And, YouTube videos aren't very helpful, unless they are working on your exact vehicle (in the video), and they tell you step by step, with tool sizes, and everything. And, ask us. I would be happy to help you fix anything, if not in person, online. Last edited by iManage; 08-30-2016 at 04:16 PM. |

I have a little collection of broken Craftsman sockets on my shelf. They gave me plenty of warning though. Stretched them a few times until the chrome plating peeled off before they popped.

Craftsman are only as good as long as Sears is still in business.

Back-in-the-day you could tune up a car with a timing light, a dwell meter, a feeler gauge, 3 wrenches, a spark plug socket and two screwdrivers. Throw in a 3/4" socket and a torque wrench and you could overhaul the engine. Today with ECUs, ECMs, VSCs, TCs and all that other computer controlled stuff ...... ...... humfrz |

That's what my BRZ is and why I don't fuck with it at all, bone stock with nice wheels. "Racecars" are all broken and I'm too lazy and it's too damned hot to mess with them.

Sounds like you bought Snap-On, Big mistake. Learn about Harbor Freight - 301 pc tool set for $200 http://www.harborfreight.com/profess...kit-45951.html And yes some of the HF power tools are crap, while others I bought have lasted me over 10 years with heavy use. But for hand tools - HF is fine if you are not a pro.

Then you are doing it wrong. The lifetime warranty means that when they break you take them back and trade in for brand new If you have a bunch on a shelf, then you haven't been taking them back....

Flashed my FR-S back to stock since I'm selling it. Holy crap, it feels so slow with the stock tune. I left the VVT alone, barely leaned the AFRs out, and had max ignition advance set to the OFT stage 1 tune (with greater knock correction just in case), but the power difference is very noticeable.

I only use Harbor Freight for disposable chinese shit, which is what they sell. Need to make a custom bent obstruction wrench, HF. Need a real tool to do a proper job all the time, every time, almost anything else. Craftsman tools are what I use mostly and they have never let me down except when I used them improperly and that screwdriver I was using as a chisel was exchanged for a new one no questions asked.
To act like the extra cost of Snap On is for nothing but a name is ridiculous. Is it overpriced, of course it is, all hype, not hardly. |

And buy Craftsman to start. Lifetime warranty. Fairly cheap. Take it back to any Sears when it breaks and they hand you a new one. Just make sure it is broke beyond repair even if you have to finish the job yourself. |
