Socket wrenches

Since I was an owner of a small chain of Parts Stores for years, I have several different brands that we used to sell to installers and the public. My box has Bonney/Utica , Blackhawk , S-K , KD Tool, Easco, and some others. All high quality brands , but not as expensive as Snap On. I always felt like Snap On was higher because of the personal truck to site service , and the fact that they extend a lot of credit to their customer base. I even have some Penncraft tools from JC Penny back in the 70's!!!. I still remember the Christmas that my Mom and Dad gave them to me. I was 15yrs old. Don't use them any more, just take em out and look at em once in a while. :D

I do have a number of SK Wayne open end wrenches. I also have a set of JC Penny combination wrenches, and a JC Penny tool Box. I really liked their tools, to. Same warranty as Snap-on (in fact, JC Penny tools looked like snap-on tools), and Craftsman, and all the other "Lifetimers". Good quality, too.

Proto was another good quality tool back then, mostly sold for industrial use, as I recall. "Husky" was another good tool maker, when they were made in American, and long before Home Depot bought the name, and started importing.

KD tools, as I recall had a lot of specialty tools.

Re: Bonny, these tools are probably irreplaceable, but then, I've never had one fail.
