ASE Tools where to buy?

[Barefoot]

All ase means, is that you know how to study and pass a test. Has nothing to do with if you know what you're doing, or not. There is nothing wrong with having them, as it looks good on paper, which is usually all that people care about when hiring someone.

u dont how many techs ive meet with ase this and ase that who dont know shit outside of study guides. i personally dont give a shit about ase been in the game a long time now. i may of had a hand fill of customers who heard about. none ever knew what it meant.

Never had a craftsman break on me yet and I've done some pretty serious business with those tools lol cars and other things

your definition of serious business and a mechanics its complete different.

You say Matco is junk yet recommend northern tools?

i was thinking the same thing.

Thanks Init2winit as that is the place i was looking for and the rest of you for your feedback. I know what ASE stands for and maybe should have made subject more clear for the Theologians and English majors on this forum .

this is IA everybody has a masters in english around here.

If I was a customer I would rather have a ASE certified mechanic then one not....This way I know they are smart enough to work on my car...I am not talking about a ASE in brakes But a Master ASE......

im calling bullshit. if be on the streets right now if that was the case. once again a mech isnt about his tools or how well they take a test. if u makes u feel better thats great. my customer base isnt getting any smaller not being a MASTER tech.

Trust me, I've been doing this crap for a long time, and I know exactly what you mean, which is why I spoke up about it.

Ok i'm not saying I'm doing hard use mechanic work on my tools every day but my stuff has seen some miles for sure.And the tasks I've been involved in as far as helping numerous friends with swaps (Pulling motors out and putting them in) and routine maintenance like suspension,brakes,axles,etc. etc. my craftsman tools have not broken EVER.Even that time when i had to rent the crank pulley holder from you to get that bitch of a crank pulley bolt off my no name wrenches I broke two,when i used the caftsman,they did the job and didnt break (And keep in mind me and a friend on my back jumped up and down on my craftsman wrench to get the bolt loose)

I'm not claiming to have experience like an every day garage working mechanic i was just giving my about the tools I use whenever its time to do some auto work and other stuff
