    I wish they still made the Thorson tool socket sets, especially their ratchets. I had bought a brand new Chevy four wheel drive truck, a 1984 truck in late 83. Out on the freeway, a long way from anywhere, and before the cell phones had came out, blew a tire and no tools to remove said flat to replace with the spare tire. I broke every socket and also the flex bar from my snap on tools I always carried with me. My little boy had bought daddy a set of Thorson 3/8" drive set in a nice little plastic box for my birthday... oct., 29th of 47. I did use the flimsy tire wrench that came with the truck but it was no match for this tire removal. Clearly put on with a impact wrench when the tires I wanted on the truck were put on. I had a piece of pipe on the handle of this Thorson ratchet and socket thinking ... hell, go ahead and break this too .... no need to wait for a cop to come help me. Amazed and dazed really, as each nut snapped loose, clearly tightened with a great bit too much force. I used those sockets and ratchet for a good many years until he was old enough to get into dads tools and lost most of them. I tried to find another set of them, and no avail. I had snap on tools until my injury in two thousand five and that forced me to quit in two thousand ten. I couldn't bear selling my tools for ten cents on the dollar as no one ever will pay up a decent price on used tools. I kept my tool immaculate and complete so thousands of dollars in money spent for all my tools! I just thought what the hell, those tools will help my grandson get a good start in life. He was in his early twenties and figured wrong of course about those tools fate. I shall stop whining now

    Nice looking set of sockets and rail. I am partial to the satin finish. I think it holds up better in the long run. I have a couple of OEM tools and have been satisfied with them. Thanks for sharing!

    I have a few oem tools products and a few specialty sockets, the oem tools sockets that I have found are usually a fairly tight fit, I also have a satin finish oem tools torx and hex bit sockets for doing gm 70-90's car and truck brake jobs, and 70-97 f250 ford truck brake Jobs and they are pretty impressive to the point i started with the great neck equivalent and that set came up missing after about 3 years and I replaced them with the first set of the OEM tools sockets same part number and i have lost several of them and now have a new set of the same oem tools and the first 6 harmonic balancer pullers i had were all oem tools and i have broken and stripped the bolts but all the pullers themselves were still useable

      I have a few OEM tools and so far haven't had any issues with them. I think I have a set of 3 gear puller from OEM that I have had for years.
