Great info. You are so right about tools.
As a self taught watchmaker....I know that quality tools are the only way to go!
I have to stay away from Harbor freight!
The store is so close to me that I was sucked in.
When purchasing 6 sided sockets what do I ask for....6 sided sockets.
Should I get craftsman or go for snapon.
