You got that right IC..I've been a wrench turner all my life (the last 16 years professionally,10 years driving big rigs before that).You can have the fattest ass box of Snap-ons....with the Foose paint and all that #$%* but if you don't know how to use them,they will never grow spider webs on the wheels in any respectable shop.

Absolutely right! 

Before anybody gets mad, I'll be the first in line to say that Snap-On tools are the best.....but the job can be done with tools from Autozone, with few exceptions.

So, MrB, you were a driver, too.  That explains alot...... ;D
