I have two questions I guess, first is which is better 6 point or 12 point sockets and why? Second questions is what is the best toolset for the serious but non-professional mechanic? I have bought a fair number of Craftsman tools, but recognize they aren't the greatest in the world, I was looking at a Facom set from Griot's garage http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_2000&L2=L2_2010&SKU=FK20 , but when looking at the actual components some of them (especially the sockets) don't look all that great. So is there a set out there sold by someone that is really good or should I just build a set? I was also thinking of buying Snapon since a neighbor of mine is a snapon dealer, but I'm not sure what I'd have to pay for a full set. Thanks.
