EDIT:
I decided I'd change the title of this thread and suggest:
Post pics of YOUR Tools. Take a snapshot of your Harbor Freights, Huskys, SnapOns, TrueValues...Whatever you've got. Show em!
... :rockon:
Here's what 5 bills bought me on craigslist -
Top cab "StackOn". Middle and bottom cabs, "TengTool" from Sweden. Ball bearing slides. Big, soft rubber tires on the ball bearing casters. It rolls really smooth, even full of a ton of iron. The milk crate, plastic tub and cardboard box to the right of the tool chest were also filled with tools.
Nine dial indicators, including two really tiny ones. All made in Germany, Austria or Sweden. Couple dozen interchangable bases, mounts, adaptors
SnapOn socket rail (the smaller one) vs HarbFreight rails. I can't tell any difference in quality at all.
This where I'll keep my Skruvmejslars
And just below that, my Torx Mejslars
I'm embarassed that my chinkie tools from HF are now in a drawer with these Swedish works of art.
I'm guessing it took a lot of torque to break that 32mm box end made of forged Swedish steel. If I had a grinder, I'd make that end of the wrench into something like a pickle fork or pry bar. Maybe a cup holder aligning tool
Phone numbers of Swedish tool dealers and other Swedish businesses, in case I need help working on a Volvo.
