We have a Dewalt version of the big gun and it out performs the Snapon Air gun we have used for years. We are switching to Milwaukee tools at work but we will use both until the Dewalt tools die over time. We like the 12 and 18 volt Milwaukee tools, We also use 20 volt Dewalt tools. I use Dewalt at home but will probably transition to Milwaukee as they wear out.

I also have the m12 3/8 ratchet, m12 1/4 impact driver, and m12 drill. I use and abuse them all day every day. Well worth the money.
Cornwell gets bundle deal catalogues every few months and thats how I have built my collection. Not sure if you have a cornwell rep that comes to you or not.

Anyone here use Tekton tools?
recently read an article that 20% of there products are USA made and they're working on making their entire lineup US made.
Considering switching.
At prices not much more than hobo freight, and being made on our soil, worth it to me.
Read up on them. Awesome warranty program. Great customer service reviews.

I believe I have a few of their ratchets, the low profile ones. The quarter inch is no thinner than any other but the others are nice. Handles are different but in certain circumstances you're happy about that.
I would give them a try for a regular 3/8 socket set.
I've taken a liking to Astro pneumatic. Not to be confused with Chicago pneumatic which is harbor freight. They don't make a full line of everything yet. Mostly impacts. I love the low profile 3/8ths and the 3/8 wobble sockets. Of course I haven't used them as much as you would to be able to tell whether they will wear quickly but so far so good

I am in the market for a flex head long handle half inch ratchet along with wobble sockets.
I have the wobble adapter and 3/8ths long handle flex head from harbor freight and love em.
I'll look into astro pneumatic.
I use my tools everyday. They take a beating.
And even though harbor freight has a lifetime warranty, id like to put my money back into American hands as much as I can.

Astro pneumatic is actually not American made but the company states that it has been importing quality tools for over 40 years, as well as developing part of its own line. Which to me means some of it might be made in the US.
Not like I'm some type of wobble socket swivel socket guru expert specialist, but each of these sockets has a swivel built into it. I find this to be helpful when they're just isn't enough room to have an additional separate swivel in the mix. It also pivots freely in every direction but there is enough friction to hold the angle you are using it at.
Apparently they supply the big tool makers with some of their product IE snap on, mac, matco... So I guess they can't all be all that bad.
I finally now know somebody who has had good luck with HF hand tools. Of course you know how to use them properly IE not as a pry bar so the odds are higher
