This stuff is incredible. They also make grease. I lube my ratchets with a slurry of the oil and grease. I bet the oil would be perfect on ratcheting wrenches. Only drawback is it's pricey.

While there is nothing wrong with being willing to pay for quality. It can sometimes reach a point of utter foolishness. The exact same set of sockets, with the exact same warranty. But one is over 500% more? No, I don't think so. This regardless if you, "make a living with them", or not.

Yeah, that Snap On is a rip off. PROTO sells a 10 piece set for like $229 with street prices lower than that and USA made.
