You guys are more than welcome for the links. It saves a ton of money to bypass the tool truck man and get the same goods.

Would just like to show you the insides of a snap-on dual 80 (right) and the bahco 7750 (left)

As you can see, they're exactly the same.

I ordered a set of these screwdrivers and they are awesome.


Is Bahco or Williams a better choice for sockets?

Williams USA line is snap-on quality. The Williams offshore is blue-point quality.

I wouldn't buy the bahco sockets. The williams sockets from both sides are awesome.

kobalt > craftsman

their tool carts are way better as well. I have a kobalt rolling service cart that I got on sale for $150. its a sweet blue color and is 10x as sturdy as a craftsman unit! not to mention every time I break a ratchet I take it to lowes and get a free one quickly with no questions asked. sears has been nothing but a pain in my *** on the other hand.
