... I hear ya, for a while there, I was doing a ton of ball joints at work, so I figured I'd buy me my own set, bought the Snappy's and have used them once since I got em over a year ago.

That OTC set on usatool is a good set, a lot of the guys have OTC. That looks like a pretty good set, my boss bought his otc set years ago, and has had to buy adaptors ever since to get all the ones I have in my set.
