I am tryn to find some new socket sets but i dont want to spend a small fortune on a snap-on or black hawk set. so was just picking up on some opinions. thank you in advance. beautiful day here in Nebraska.

If you should find out they will still warranty them, please let me know.. Our local NAPA had 2 counter guys.. One was TOP NOTCH.. the other.. NOT SO MUCH. The good guy was great at pleasing the customer, but he has left for a better parts person job elsewhere (the day I bought this set was his last day).. It left the other guy.. Did I mention he's about helpless?? Knowing how he is, it wouldn't surprise me if there is still some sort of warranty still out there on the tools. Gambles, I just want to say that the only reason I continue with NAPA is because I WILL NOT DO BUSINESS with the "supermarket" parts stores. Their parts suck, to put it nicely. I have started using our local Parts Plus store a lot more since the warranty issue and the parts counter guy leaving NAPA. FWIW, I'm starting to look into the Case-IH tools.. They are made by Blue-Point, unfortunately, they too come from overseas in modern times.. The price is NOT CHEAP, but my good friend is a parts guy at the C-IH dealer, and he says they're worth the money (he's bought a lot of them, and they look to be good quality..)

Some of the used stuff is very affordable. I've bought allot of new and good used tools there. Also watch for local auctions. My wife bought me a NOS 1/2 drive SK socket set for 32 bucks at a local auction a month or so ago. Pops [Reply]  [No Email]
