i thought for sure i was gonna be buying some air tools for my motor pull, but i didnt need them. they would be nice to have but not needed. i have one of those cordless impact guns, but it is only 12 volt so it’s pretty much useless. good thing that was a gift haha ---

go with craftsman sockets with a nice snap on ratchet. i love snap on but the prices are crazy if you arent going to be using them every day… and even then they still are pretty steep. ---

snap on. i know it’s expensive but when a truck comes to replace the ends to my screwdrivers and busted sockets i know thats a good service. put out the money now for a set of tools that will last you a lifetime… craftsmen only gives you refurbished tools now… shame ---
