Are they that good? I’m real close to grabbing a Torx driver set. They have a bunch of different ranges but I was going to grab the regular black and red.

I imagine their decent, Knipex has been good to me despite being a meme tool, but I’ll get some Kleins if they aren’t as great.

Tools break and are disposable. It really doesn't matter what you get as long as it's "Husky" brand quality or better. I have old snap-on stuff that sucks ass because it's all worn out and the newer cheaper stuff is nicer to use.

I like a tool that doesn’t break in the middle of the job the 2nd time I use it.

Husky or better works for most stuff.

>> No.1737659

>>1736782
Makita for cordless
Bosch or Makita for corded
Channellock pliers
Klein for basic testing equipment
Husky/Kobalt/craftsman for wrenches, screwdrivers, for basically anything else.

Slowly been upgrading my tools over the years since I’m not a pro, just mostly do just home renovation and small shop projects

Hi Zoomer. No, newer is not *always* better. I've got stuff I inherited from my grandfather, the design of most tools was perfected in 1800s, and very few thing "wear out" to an appreciable degree.

The only thing I've had wear out on a regular is the batteries on cordless tools.

Now, RUSTED, LOST or STOLEN is completely different... that's the only way 90% of tools get out of my possession.
