BK13 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I was bumping around the Proto website, looking at sockets (BTW, damn you Travis!) when I decided to look at 3/4" drive stuff. I have about as much need for 3/4" stuff as I do for tiny Italian sports cars that I don't fit in, but nevermind about that. Found a nice set (J55106), and thought I'd check Amazon for a price on it.It's a fair chunk of change, @ roughly $1250, but what amazed me was that Amazon has it in the (Tools and) Home Improvement section. Never known anybody to need 3/4" stuff working in a bathroom... And yes, I'm bored as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 The 3/4" drive stuff is crazy expensive. Any time you're looking for a Proto item save yourself the search and go to Zorotools.com. They are always the cheapest and you almost always have your shit the 2nd day. ToolUp has cheap prices as well, but I've frequently had issues with availability. Things that are supposed to be in stock that aren't, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thank you sir. Proto's website is not the most user friendly, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Believe it or not that's the new one. It's a huge improvement over the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Proto's makes Snap On's seem well sorted out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 The worst website I've ever used was Zorotools.com. Great prices, great selection, terrible layout. You almost have to use google shopping to buy from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK13 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 More entertaining stuff: just did the brakes on the GF's Expedition today. Caliper bolts on the left side were T45 Torx, right side were 6mm hex. I've run into goofy stuff on my F150, like the drain plug being 5/8" and the skid plate bolts (so I can get my oversized hands on the filter) 10mm, but mixing hex and Torx is really annoying.
