the really expensive digital one
the turn the handle clickly one
the kind with two bars?

The click type. Get a decently expensive one, so you can trust that it is calibrated right, and that it will stay calibrated. Also when you are done, always set it back to zero.

The digital ones are nice if you are building precision race engines all day.

I decided that a while ago too, but haven't done anything about it. One thing I do need is a new 1/2" drive pneumatic impact wrench.

I need a coolant system pressure tester, but they are like 300 bucks. The shop foreman lets me use his anyway.
You sir are overpaying

Moral of story, I too need a locking toolbox at my house.

Angie keeps her Dildos in your toolbox?

No, in the overhead cabinet apparently.

Depends on what you are doing.

If its at home for simple things, click type.

Digital you won't need, unless you are building engines, and the 2 bars are for people who are dumb. Seriously they are usless

I don't even know what one actually costs, I was kind of guessing. Seems like anything off the snap on truck that comes in a molded box costs 300 bucks.

most of the tools I buy are craftsman. Now I realize that unless you buy tools out of a truck, your Lame , but I neither need them nor can afford them, plus I know where sears is, I dont know where the truck is

I would think that craftsman tools provide the tolerances that are sufficient for my purposes.

Most of my speciality bike tools are from Motion Pro

I don't know, I have never owned a dildo. Up high seems like a good idea though. I don't need the kids running around outside sword fighting with dildos.

I actually think craftsman stuff is perfect for home use.

You can get a decent kit for $150, with the necessary Ford adaptors. The kits with like 15 adapters usually go for $350-500
