Craig, I beg to differ on the subject of low quality wrenches. When that 17 MM socket shatters under load as I'm pulling on the breaker bar, it dies a quick death, not a slow and agonizing one! :) I don't want a guaranteed cheap replacement, I want real tools, which often means old, used & American-made. I still have the Husky 3/8" drive socket set I bought to use on my '65 MGB in 1971. The wrenches are still terrific, the car is long gone...........
