Ahh Jerry, there you go again. As you said they hurt "your hands." I
do have Snap On, actually my son bought me a nice set of metric
combination ratchet box wrenches. Snap On but their Blue Point label.
I gave up mechanics long ago. I promised myself when I made a decent
salary I would stop working on cars, and I did. I do not even change
my oil anymore (most of the time). Other than this, I have a variety
of other tools, some craftsman but they do not hurt "my hands."
