Yes, you could. I like the gearwrenches.

Ok, Thanks. This hurricane is starting to screw up my weekend plans to hit the fleamarket for more used good brand name tools.

What do the good name brand wrenches sell for used? A guy at flea market had armstrong wrenches for 8-12 bucks ea. depending on size.

Thorsen made Giller. Good tools.

Allenite will be Japan. Nearly all "chrome steel" sockets will be Asian made.

Hey Retro,

I found Kobalt/Snapon sockets that didnt have the slanted markings under the Kobalt name today at the pawn shop. But they still had the Snapon date code them though. The dates are 1998,1999, and 2000.

Really. I'd love to see pics of those.

And don't think I've forgotten about your sockets, I've just been too busy as of late with all that's been going on to stop at the PO.

There the same text style and text size as the ones with the slant marks.

Here's the pic.
