I love talking about tools more than I like using them. :P
Gearwrench makes a few good small sets of tools. They do have a lower and upper tier versions that are based on price. Most of the kits are hit or miss. I think they are mostly APEX tool group so all the designs will be of similar quality. Gearwrench, Matco & Capri are all really good Gina brands with pretty good quality control. For the life of me, I can't think of a lot of things that you might need to do roadside that can't be done with most 3/8&1/2" combo kits. You couldn't pay me enough to turn a Pitsburg ratchet, lol. I am a little uppity but not so to the extreme. I should mention Tekton because they have GREAT sockets and the most complete kits I have seen. I loath their ratchets though so if you buy them, swap out the ratchet for one of the premium Gearwrench or Capri's.
Tekton is a Michigan based company that's at least trying to bring tool manufacturing back to the US.
Mac and Proto are my new tool brand focus since my favorite "workers" brand SK, sold out to Gina. I can't bring myself to swap out 10k in SK hand tools for 30k in Snap-off.
I will also add Husky to the APEX tool list. They make quite a bit of the Husky line now too.
Also vouch for Tekton. I've been very impressed with my Tekton stuffs. They sell it at Cal Ranch, but often times you'll find it cheaper on the interwebnets.

Right on... that is a pretty clever one, I gotta admit.

So I ran the sale report for parts sales by salesman(we are technically considered sales people) for the tenure that my previous coworker was here. I knew the guys preferred me but not to this extent. In the 5 full months he was here. He sold $202k in parts, that same time frame i ended at $596k. I wasn't expecting that drastic of a difference at almost 3 times the number
The band is Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Steve Vai, Sons of Apollo), Richie Kotzen (Mr. Big, Poison, Kotzen/Smith), and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Sons of Apollo, A7X, and much more).
I modified the original file someone put on Thingiverse fr the hood prop holder. It matches better than the previous blue one. I used Cura slicer for the first time, and it didn't seem to print as "clean", but it'll work.
