Amazon Basics Mechanic's Tool Socket Set With Case, 145-Piece
Hey guys,
Check it out!
I decided to get myself a new socket wrench set to use to work on my bicycles. It has everything that I needed, so far. I like that it comes with a well-organized case. Also, it's not that expensive. I'm not a pro who only works on my bike or home DIY, once in a while.
I do like to splurge on some branded tools that I love. My favorite owned is the Black & Decker brand. I like the design and the orange+black colors. Been using them for years and they still work fine. I do use other brands that are provided at work though. Bosch and Hitachi are the usual suspects.

The one I bought is the 46 pcs socket wrench set from China. It's cheap and has most sizes of what I need to work on my bicycle. Of course, I can also use it for other works as it also has the screws and Allen key sets. For some reason, I love using tools and house repairs too.
When I learned woodworking and metalworking at school, I wasn't really interested then. But, I basically learned how to use the tools needed. The same when I took the automotive engineering courses. We also did some metal machining. That was pretty interesting and needed good skills.

I actually wanted to go to commerce class. But, my teacher said, guys should go to technical class. lol. Well, although, after all that, I wasn't interested in doing technical work. It was only when I worked as a building tech that I found it fun to work doing technical stuff.
I'm a little lazy to do those kinds of work. One thing is for certain, the more you do that kind of work and work with tools, the more experience and confidence you get. I also learned a lot. I even learned how to correctly hold a hand drill. One contractor boss told me a tools engineer taught him how.

I prefer to own the tools rather than borrow them from others. This way, I can quickly take out the tools and work on my DIY. Recently, I bought a new fridge that's taller than my old one. I had the idea of cutting part of the cabinet so that it could fit in.
I tried waiting for my old colleague to lend me a portable saw. Well, after two weeks of waiting, I decided to buy my own. I decided to get a portable reciprocating saw. This saw is actually pretty good and powerful. However, the battery dies rather quickly.

I've already used the wrench set to do some part replacements on my bicycle. It is really useful. Especially, when you have different sizes. What's also useful is the different holder or extender. Which makes the jobs easier. Once you have the tools needed the workflow becomes smooth.
I know not everyone has tools and that they usually borrow from friends or from work. It's really a hassle. Like, I've said I waited for my ex-colleague to bring over the portable saw but probably because of work, he couldn't come. That's why having your own tools is much better.
