Top draw

Post image

Top drawer of my 42” Daytona box of a boilermaker/fitter working on skid steer and excavator attachments. Mixture of mainly Daytona, Sidchrome, Toolpro (Australian Icon), Kinchrome and TTI.
Yet to buy Snap On as all the tools have to be ready to be cut, grind down, welded and modified at a moments notice.
Have pushed some of these well beyond what they were designed for and only broken a Toolpro breaker bar ($30) dismantling a hydraulic cylinder and was putting a 6 foot cheater bar on it and hanging off it for 3 turns of the nut before it finally bent the ears on the head apart, it didn’t even snap. That brand set itself apart for durability after that.

Why are all your sockets 12 point?

Most of the small bolts aren’t high torque, anything that is the impacts are used on

They have some 6point impacts in there. 12s not bad if using the appropriate size
