Well said 419. I used those tywrap guns in the airforce, but haven't seen them since. I agree that they shouldn't be used without correct training.

Most of my toolbox is Facom stuff, but you'll be hard pushed to beat Snap-On sockets for wall thinness.

However I don't rate the new Snap-On ratchet screwdriver. The handle cap now has a bayonet fitting and when you are screwing in the screws on an A330 nav light fitting. The end comes off and you loose all your bits into the bowels of the scissor lifter!

I'm guessing you're ex military. Tool control is not the same. You don't use the tag system. However with the price you've paid for your tools, you'll make damn sure you haven't left one inside an aircraft!
