Yeah, I might get a second one, keep with the main toolbox.

That is a very nice looking set. Where's the drool smiley when I need it?

Is that a wobble plus extension in that set ?

The only thing I don't like about that set is there are no flathead driver bits included.

I never really liked when a socket set comes with driver bits and an adapter just to fill out the piece count.
I get it with torx as an impromptu torx socket set which are common for cars these days, but otherwise I'd rather just included a good bit ratchet set or bits and ratcheting bit screwdriver instead of getting a set that comes with them and not necessarily the ones you need.

Love the ratchet -- definitely looks the part! Bahco employs some great designers.

An HJE order arrived today, a few things for me and some gift items.


The tool roll is for my cousin, then he and my uncle will each get one of the HJE heavy duty flat blade screwdrivers ( obviously they're going to be used as pry bars )
Plus I threw in 3 of these WW2 surplus bomb tethers just because they were cheap and are cool because they're related to bombs.

The rest was for me.
A 4" Jawco 1/4 flex extension
Another R.Murphy sheeps foot knife
An HJE Enderes 6in1 because they had orange.
And last but not least a pair of Vessel power grip screwdrivers that wanted to try out.
I am thoroughly impressed with them to say the least.

Some of my carbide burr bits were missing teeth. I don't remember where I got them.

So I got this set from my Snap-On dealer. They look pretty nice. He claims they're lifetime warranty. I couldn't find that in their website.

However hoping I don't need to I feel he'll honor it either way.

Looks good guys -- Can't go wrong with HJE selection and quality. The Vessel brand is highly underrated, and a bargain if you can find them. I've had Vessel impact drivers outlast other name brands by decades.

Tim, I know they probably cost and arm and a leg from SO, but they're worth it. Even better if Snap-On stands behind the warranty.
