What kind of coffee do you enjoy?I don't even know. I was planning on buying different types and see what I liked best.didn't mean regionally but type Like I said I don't know shit about coffee. To me coffee = black drink. Ha. First step is to go try some and see what you may like. Good kitchen stores will demo their machines for free

woot

You aren't helping me spend money by not sharing what they are, lol.

This whole time I have been thinking you are.having trouble deciding on a 3/8" socket itself. As in that was all you ever used. I thought you had lost your God Damn mind. Knife = wrench. I would agree. How it feels and works is more important than anything. Sockets themselves are a.consumable. My craftyM wrench is the most comfortable I ever used! It has a few edges on it, so that might change if I used it everyday all day. Especially without gloves. I love mechanic gloves though. Never take them off if I didn't have to. Not sure how rubbing one out would work, but I would try it if the wife close by to take me to the ER. First goal is to make sure that when I need a socket it is in the right place, works, and doesn't piss me off. I have ZERO problems spending more on a ratchet....although I am currently sporting Northern Tool ones since I've broken everything else I've owned.

Maybe I am misapplying a cooking analogy. For me in knives 1 does 90%+ of the work so it is worth 80%+ of the budget. Perhaps the answer above is spend the dough on a 3/8" set and get cheaper for 1/2 & 1/4

I hadn't planned on buying any new wrenches, but the hop has convinced me I need to at least try a 3/8" wrench of a better style....unless the answer above comes in the form of socket and then I guess I'll bit the bullet and grab the SK stuff.

Spend more on the wrench or the sockets themselves? By more I mean relative to other choices of that particular tool? ie, would you rather have SO sockets and a GW wrench or vice versa? While I have broken a lot of tools, normally I cannot say it is the tools fault. I am not super concerned with the utmost relaibility, but more in functionality. ie, if the wrench goes into the socket shitty, they mate poorly with heads and can't torque shit and so on.

I think burning coffee through a vaporizer might hurt

A hand grinder is the most cost effective

What kind of coffee do you enjoy?

Detail it with exhaust fumes

My truck needs a bar & buff BAD

And by no means am I professional. Complete slob actually.

I've had plenty of things fail, but warranty isn't my biggest concern usability is.

Come on down. I'll hook you up with some hands on with cool tools and take you out to some shitty local restaurants. Awesome. Might do that some day.

Including what I do.

Everywhere.

Weekly

And now my curiosity is piqued.

I'm the cheapest bastard of you all.

If Ryan is okay with GW it is probably way better than I need.

Thanks for the big write up though. Really put things into perspective. I have a faberware pan budget for my tools so I should expect faberware and not restaurant weight copper Mauviel

Touche. I think I don't want to experience your level of tools as I don't need another expensive addiction. I'm already bad enough with too many things. And what I buy will never make me money, will definitely save me money and more importantly sanity. My problem is as always scope creep. I am not good at being okay with wondering what something better would have been like. Then look at better and think the same things. Reality is the Craftsman would be an upgrade over a great majority of what I have. I just don't want to do that and then someday go aw fuck I "should have". If I buy the GW I could get a complete set that basically fills out my Hansen trays. Albeit somewhat stupid, it would make getting them all back at the end of a job more obvious which is worth more to me than a better tool. Worst tool is the one you can't find and that sure as hell ain't the tools fault. Spending the extra dough to buy SK over GW I can rationalize at 1/4" and 3/8" but not 1/2". Too many other priorities atm.
