[Any of you guys run across the Ingersoll-Rand W7150-KL2]

I have the IR IQ 3/8 impact, the ratchet and the drill. Home use on my old Mustang and family cars; they work well, have plenty of power, long battery life and the battery recharges fairly quick.

[Preferred ratchets?]

I've never been real big on molded cushion grips on anything though, especially pliers and adjustable wrenches. I'm kind of a purist when it comes to hand tools.

SK Rotohead, one of my favorites! Only in 3/8 dr though..

[Plomb WF-38]

My favorites are the Pebble Grain Plomb and Proto's. Just don't see that kind of art in a production tool any more.

[Preferred brands?]

The majority of my sockets are older USA made Craftsman. Most I had, others I buy at garage sales and estate sales. I have some Cornwell, Williams and Proto sockets too. Ratchets are a mix of several brands; Craftsman, Snap-on, Mac, Proto, SK and few others thrown in. Screwdrivers are a lot of the old black soft grip Craftsman pros, Snap-on and Matco's. Pliers are different manufacturers. I stick to US brands and prefer used tools over new ones.

[Magnets on Tools?]

My 6" torpedo level is magnetized on one side and I like that I can stick it to metal curtain rods and such. Even have a few sockets with a magnet in them to hold nuts and bolt heads. Also have a small set of magnets, from Craftsman I think, that you stick inside the socket... never had to use them though.
