Yeah - the Husky tools are good quality. Their not pro quality, but certainly good enough for a home mechanic For a bike? I'm assuming Japanese here. A good 3/8" ratchet handle and an assortment of

Well, 12 points are good for when you have a small space to work in and can't swing the arm of the ratchet very far. I use FACOM 72-tooth handles and a 12-point does come in handy sometimes... But th

nope, not adjustable crescent wrenches, they're called 'flex' combo wrenches (according to my s-k catalog--I actually sleep with it under my pillow--oh, like y'all don't). one end is an open-end wren

How so? A 12 point socket gives you 30 degree increments, as opposed to the 60 degrees of a six point... granted... but with a 72 tooth ratchet, you've got a five degree swing, so if the six point do

The 12 point socket gives you better odds that you won't have to pull the ratchet out and turn it. This can be a significant difference if, like me, you have fat arms that sometimes have to be wedged

One thing I just thought about... if you have to worry about breaking the bolt... then I'd rather just break it than round it and then have to break it. In other words, if it's so frozen that it's go
