As a professional mechanic, my toolbox is filled with Mac, Matco, Snap-on and
Craftsman tools. But my favorite combination wrenches are Bonney brand - don't
think they are still available. My Bonney wrenches have a feel and balance that
are unmatched. Take it from someone who uses them 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Yeah, well they won't replace all their hand tools for free. I had a Sears
torque wrench just fall apart at the head. I could have reassembled it myself,
but I thought they would just replace it for free because it was a hand tool
and it said Sears on it. The guy in the tool dept told me to go to the Sears
Outlet store across the street and they would take care of me. The outlet
store repairs Sears products as well as sells the at reduced prices. They told
me they would repair it for $60. He'll, a new one was $68! I still have not
replaced it 4 years later.

I have heard rumors that they will not honor the warranty if you are using the
tools as a professional mechanic but I don't know if that is true or not.
