Need Toolbox in Sockets & Socket Sets

While the quality is excellent. I haven't had the opportunity to abuse them at work so I don't have an opinion on that but it looks like they will stand up to some abuse. I don't abuse them on purpose, they are abused when the bolt binds or binds and I have to use extra force to move the bolt. If the tool is flawless, the brake bolt or the bar and the like may no longer be on your car. I don't use a hammer or any other tools, just my hands, but I'm a big guy and I can't do that. When a tool is cheap it breaks or wears out and rusts because I don't use it anymore. The only recommendation I have is that it would be nice to come in a plastic box so you can organize them rather than searching forever in a tool. pack or leave them somewhere in your workplace. Is the plastic box really that much more expensive than the plastic box the kit came in? If that's the case, put the lock and hinge on real plastic and you've got a cheap but useful box.

Pros

Manufactured from high strength, heat treated chrome vanadium steel, they also feature a corrosion resistant CRV nickel/chrome finish for industrial, mechanical or construction applications. The spring-loaded locking ball ensures your sockets don't go anywhere! These accessories meet and exceed ANSI/ASME standards.
Cons
  • Very expensive
