30 round? Or pinned at 10 rounds? I hate California for this reason.

[Exodus_2pt0]

Full on 30 round. When I lived in MD the cap was 20, and now 10. Move to VA, and pull out all the stops.

Good stuff! I'm not really up on international tool brands so I was curious. What domestic brand are they comparable to? SK, proto, snap on, etc?

I would put them right there with SK and Snap On, I never used Proto I do know they are owned by Stanley...I don't like their tools, so I am not sure on the likes of Proto.

I have a set of proto professional racheting combination wrenches, they are amazing. All metal gears inside and reversible. They've gotten enough use where the black coating is wearing off. They're probably in some of my build pics all over the floor.

My dad before he retired used to run maintenance for an industrial machine shop so he got them for me because they'd proven themselves in the shop time over. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

I'm with you on Stanley branded stuff though, stay away.

IIRC stately bought Facom not all that long ago and they are the EU equivalent to snap on. Proto is also good stuff, I would personally put those pictured above in with S&K Mac, Proto, Matco and very close to snap on.
