I’ve ordered from Harry Epstein before a couple of times. IIRC they hard some obscure hard to find tools available. It was a pleasant experience.The Harry J. Epstein Co. - USA Hand Tools - Surplus/Retail/Liquidation

They carry quality stuff, too
Klein screwdrivers, good stuff made in USA.
Gear wrench in owned by matco iirc.
Have had good luck with bondhus T handled Allen’s and torx. I wore the ball end out of the 4mm. It’s the only one I’ve had to replace. Have some wera and wiha Allen’s and wiha screwdrivers think the steel in the wiha is damn good
eh, i dont like stainless. it is not a good tool steel. i would stay with good tool steel. i have used impact allens on rusted 5/8 truck bolts and broke the bolt before the allen. idk what brand, what ever i could find.I go through 2-3 Bondhus sets a year. I often wonder if a stainless set would hold up better. But it seems that when I need a new set I need it now, and the local store doesn't stock stainless.
Every fastener I work on is stainless, which is probably why I tear them up so bad
If it’s feasible to use a ratchet on them, try sunex impact hex sockets. They don’t have ball ends though. I have the 3/8 drive SAE and metric stubby set. I’ll post a link in a min.I go through 2-3 Bondhus sets a year. I often wonder if a stainless set would hold up better.

^^^^ ThisYep. Stainless will usually be softer unless it's something spendy like 17-4.
I got some Allen brand ratchet wrenches and they have been surprisingly goodI think I read that Crescent bought Allen and discontinued the Allen branded hex keys.

Yup. I like all my Klein tools. Hella good quality. And to be honest their Allen wrench combos have held up for years being used daily. Just not against stainless.I've had excellent luck with Klein. For hex drivers, I've been sticking with Eklind.
Pliers are either Klein or knipex.Yup. I like all my Klein tools. Hella good quality. And to be honest their Allen wrench combos have held up for years being used daily. Just not against stainless.
