Lisle Tools = CRAP!

[gatesj at mailblocks.com (John Gates)]

As stated many times before, the Snap-On or Mac are the only way to go 
(not even sure about the Mac currently, but I have used an old Mac tool 
WITH AN IMPACT WRENCH and it worked fine).  The Lisle and/or K-D are 
easily available and much cheaper but are a complete waste of money and 
time.

This is a good reminder...

I had a brand new set of Lisle 12 point, Triple Square tools for 
removing
the CV bolts. Well I got them all out and almost all of them back in 
before
the tool failed taking with it the bolts. The sereated edges just 
started
shearing off. What a piece of crap and it is sad to say made in the 
USA. I
am picking up a Snap On one this afternoon although MATCO makes a nice 
one
(borrowed from a friend) but I can't find anyone it get it from. I'm on 
the
look out for a MATCO truck.
