Re: Tool questions

Craftsman gets my vote for sockets.  I've never broken one, and they
offer some very nice portable sets with blow molded cases.  I always
know if I've misplaced a socket now.

I received a set of 5 Snap-On screwdrivers for Christmas last year.
I'm *very* impressed with their durability.  The business end is
sandblasted or roughed up in some manner.  They hold screws great,
and they show no signs of wear.  I did get several blisters recently
when putting together a wooden storage shed in my backyard.  I got
so disgusted that I bought a purpose made corded electric DeWalt
screw gun.  WOW!  It drives 3" screws to the hilt into solid stud
lumber without pilot holes.  I think my arm would have broken if
I didn't have this tool.  Now my wife wants new kitchen cabinets.
My wallet hurts already!
