Re: Hand Tools
Thank you for the hex keys link, I feel like I've been buying the wrong things my whole life now.
I normally buy the cheapest thing I can get, because when we go to competition at least some of our tools go home with other teams. (Not a bad thing, but that's why we don't spend to much money on them.) Also it's not easy to get rookies to maintain tools properly. It's also not easy for me to remember to maintain tools properly either.
That normally means a lot of Harbor Freight, with some Lowe's and Home Depot through in. Sears after Thanksgiving sale is normally a pretty good time to buy inexpensive craftsman wrenches.
