Yeah, I'd problee still have picked it up at a higher price because I liked the design and simplicity of the tool. Sadly, when I went to use it for the 1st time was when I found it was cheeziern I had thought, which was a real disappointment.

I will VERY rarely however pay the ridiculous prices Mac, Snap-On or Matco charge for their tools. I don't mind someone makin a profit off a sale but these cats take that principle to an extreme!

While I've had several other mechs scoof at my mostly Craftsman tools and make remarks like "you can't make a livin usin that crap" to which I just calmly ask "Really? Damn I guess I've been doin the impossible for the last 30+yrs then huh?". Fuckin tool snobs are a joke

There's a company here in the US called Lisle (if they're still in business) that makes a lotta neat lil specialty automotive tools which tend to be really well designed/manufactured, in fact some of the ones in these sets are Lisle tools, one of which has yet to be identified.

I was at a big parts swap meet and came across a vendor selling tons of specialty tools on the cheep and bagged a bunch of 'em for some great bargains, again several of which wound up in these pics
