Sears quality has declined over the last 4-5 years unfortunately, but so work OK. Not sure I trust their torque wrenches (Asian made).

Thanks for that. I did not know there was U.S. distribution. The Facom tools I've seen were actually bought in France and brought back. I guess it's time to crank up the search engine ;-))) If I can find the cone wrenches I will post up a link. The cone wrenches really are exceptional.

No offense, but ... I'm really, really furiously angry with whoever you people are who brought up the notion of "Facon tools."

I don't have this kind of money.

I can't rationalize this sort of frivolity in my head. I have YEARS of practice explaining expensive BIKE purchases to myself ... and my wife ... but this ... this is something for which I am TOTALLY unprepared.

But ... the heart wants what the heart wants.

Mmmm. Tools.....
