    OP
    Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

    Crap you bought that didn't work as well as you had hoped..

    Hakko solder station

    Any solder station that I have to look up how to change the temp is a piece of crap for sure

    I used to wrap my screwdrivers with electrical tape when I had to work with the power on.

    Wera insulated screwdrivers are tested to 10,000 volts

    We all had a set of Craftsman 36 tooth ratchets growing up.

    Nowadays we probably all still kept the sockets, but upgraded to 120 tooth Gearwrench XP ratchets.

    The gears purr like a kitten, and can get you out of some REALLY tight spots where a 36 tooth could never catch and turn.

    Combo wrenches with ratcheting closed ends allow you to get in spaces that a bulky socket wrench could never reach.

    SK with their 216 tooth X-Frame ratchets are by far the current champions (made in USA baby!)
