Woke up this morning, checked my online banking to see if I got my tax $$ yet, and I'll be ****ed, it was there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Put on some pants, went to Harbor Freight and Sears, and picked me up some tools for the job!

Here is what I got...$200 worth total. Everything is Pittsburgh with exception to the Craftsman Torque Wrench. I've owned Pittsburgh before, and they build a pretty **** nice tool for the price. Not quite up to par with Craftsman in some areas, but definitely a step up from Husky/Stanley. I actually prefer their ratchets over Craftsman, much much smoother. But I wanted pin-point accuracy for torquing bolts down, so I coughed up $100 for the Craftsman 1/2" Torque Wrench. ****er is NICE and smooth.

Stubby ratchets

Wobble extension set

Laser etched 10 piece metric socket set

Two 8" 1/2" impact extensions

Length adjustable 1/2" ratchet

10 piece impact socket set, metric

Semi-digital Craftsman 1/2" 18" long torque wrench

Not bad for $200. All the above mentioned tools are guaranteed for life...can't beat it. I bought all these to help me out when I do my timing belt here next week.

Any one else get a woody when buying new tools?

Oops, just looked at the packaging "limited lifetime warranty".

My mom's husband is a master mechanic, he uses Pittsburgh for simple automotive stuff, but he claims the tolerance of a Craftsman wrench is much better. Just wish he didn't live 1500 miles away so he could help me do my timing belt. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
