Other than that even with a cheated pipe on them I haven't been able to break one. I also recommend the swivel head snapon ratchets they're awesome. Very smooth and once you break the nut loose you can rotate the handle to use it like a screwdriver. Also helps for those off angle reaches so you don't constantly have to use a swivel joint.
When I get home I'm going to start a favorite tools thread so everyone can post up what they like. It'll give me an excuse to buy more tools

I'm pretty proud of what my box has become, it was long ago I was working out of cardboard boxes and using a cheapass harbor freight toolset.

Most my stuff is hanging on nails on the shop wall.. much much cheaper than one them fancy tool boxs..
But half of them are scattered across the floor.

So far Im doing good. During projects everything gets thrown everywhere and ends up on my project table. After Im done I just make sure once Im done to wipe them all down with brake cleaner and put them back in their spot.
Little at a time.

I know when i work on big projects, i have all my tools all over the place!!! I am a horrible slob and very forgetful when working on stuff. Just ask anyone who has worked with me... I am always asking "where is that damn 10mm, i just had it...."
