Socket Wrench

[MAXBUWAYA]

am thinking of buying a socket Wrench this December

Been shopping around lately and saw Stanley, a set would be around P2500 to P3000

And the Taiwan Eagle Brand cost P1000.

Been checking it only at ACE Hardware.

any other brand you can suggest or any other Place i could shop around?

try mo bro sk tools o kaya craftsman.. nakailang bili na din ksi ako ng tools made in taiwan (performance tools) and they dont last that long..my two cents lang po

Stanleys are pretty high end imho...

ok ba ung KYK, KCT or Buffalo? imho they look a heckuva lot more durable than the taiwan/china made variety

Diba galing din ng Taiwan ang Craftsman? Ito yung inhouse brand ng Sears, right?

Medyo mahal ang Stanley lalo na't hindi naman ako professional grade na gagamit. DIY'er lang.

Sa Eagle, pliers at screwdrivers pa lang nila nasubukan ko, wala pa namang paltos.

Pero bihira ka lang naman bibili ng socket set so yung medyo kilala (or at least hindi low end) na kunin mo. Saka kunin mo yung may case. Ang hirap mag-keep track ng mga sockets kung sa soft case nakalagay.

stanleys...madaming fake...so not necessarily high end.

go for those na star or multiple angle (hindi yun hexagon lang) ang butas...mas matibay din ang german and us brands

I saw the buffallo brand medyo maliit lang difference with stanley

am looking for something sa P1500 range na maganda lalagyan.

Yung Eagle kasi medyo mukhang cheapipay ang case,

gusto ko din kasi Kahit mag mukha akong Pro kahit sa tools lang heheheheheh

Craftsman if you can find it there.

stanley talga da best...yung eagle kinakawalang. yung KYK di ako nagagandahan. Try mo tingnan Daikken, supposedly Jap brand. Meron pang isang brand na german, kalimutan ko lang pangalan.
sa MC Home Depot sa may ortigas at sa Fort Boni Branch meron din, mas marami variety. I'd suggest yung black finish, para di dumihin tingan, kahit magrasa, pwede mo agad balik sa lalagyan, saka mo na linisan. tama sila, don't get the hex version, yung 12 sided version kunin mo. a good socket wrench set is only as good as the rachet, da best dyan yung malaki yung head (although I've not owned one but I wish i had extra cash to buy a set hehehe) pag pro na yung ganun. for minor DIY work, yung mga china/taiwan brand are actually good enough. dun sa heavy duty mechanicals lang talga magpa-pay off yung mga orig stanleys. matibay talga bakal nun, di agad napupudpod.
