I'm gonna stop by and rearrange everyone of those bits, then you'd never be able to find the one you need..

Well, when my box was smaller seemed like I had more stuff. Now the box is bigger does not seem as full.

Now if I can get Matt to send me a BDM sticker.....

How many of you cleaned your drawers before you took the picture?

Well considering the thing is new, I would say it was clean. I do need to go back and clean all the wrenches. I forgot to clean them the last time I worked on the bike/cars.

I just chose to not show just how unkempt mine are. Quite frankly, i can't gey anything done with just one of each size. I bet i have at least 5- 1/2 inch combo wrenches. I do try to keep the bigger wrenches on the left and smaller on the right. And another disclaimer, For my limited ability, I'm probably over staffed with tools . Probably could make it with just a couple screwdrivers and an adjustable that will open to 1 1/8".

Isn't it hard to pull spark plugs with a Crescent adj. wrench?

I think they worked out great for$12

With a few exceptions most of my tools are Craftsman. I was looking for a new 3/8 racket and stumbled across the Gearwrench 120XP

Any of you all ever use their stuff? Any good?

It’s not Snapon level but it’s better than Craftsman has been for the last 10 years.

After seeing this thread several times, I had a few thoughts. I've always heard Snap-On Tools were good. But, for me, I started collecting tools when I turned 16 with a 1000 piece Craftsman Set from Sears and still have all those sockets, wrenches, metal hand saw, etc and none of them ever broke. Over the next 40 years, I collected tools as needed for projects and I have tools all over the place (In the garage, shed, boat house, attic, etc). I would like to organize my tools but if I did I wouldn't be able to find them! I moved a tire changing tool once to a spot I thought made sense and then I couldn't find it for a year and a half! I was looking for something else and there it was in the outside shed standing up in plain sight next to the freezer with the brooms, mops, etc. I think if I were to build a tool shop, I could organize everything which would be awesome. I've also bought tools from Harbor Freight as needed and if they break or become useless, I replace them as needed when they in my mind "Snap Off" if you know what I mean. Now that I think about it, I did buy a specialty socket for a Triumph Daytonal 675 from Snap On and I think it sits in the tool chest with the rest of the sockets.
