yea, they are in pretty decent shape for being used, typical light knicks etc. they will be the ones i use so i dont have to open my nos ones. you can tell they werent used alot when all of the fine lines in the handle are all there and are not worn smooth (if you know what im talkin about) im trying to work out a trade for my blue ratchets for some green tools lol

Thanks to "woody 73" here some of my scores from today, the wrenches feel great, can't wait to test them out. Add-on to my "incomplete" wrench collection.

Scored these at Lowes. USA with global components. They were mispriced in store so I got em for $8.37 each rather than $15.97! I managed to find 3 USA in the mix of Chicom ones! Walked out for just under $26 for all 3!

Then I picked up this bad boy at Wally World for $12.00 even! Started to take off the label then remembered to take a pic! :) Thats a quarter next to it for size reference.

Armstrong 1/2 locking flex ratchet. The chrome is great on these on but this one has slight discolouration on it. I can live with it but usually these are excellent chrome. Also a folding ruler and the GearWrench pass thru sets from advance auto for 20% off. Got these for 17.04 total. I still dont understand the point of these but alot of people seem to find these handy. And it basically gave me a few extra ratchet wrenches.

:edit: you can actuality see the discolouration in the picture.

I'll be using mine basically as my junkyard set... since it almost replaces the need for deep sockets, saves some weight on my back while hunting around. I used the craftsman version when I worked for sears and loved it.

Picked this up today for $250

It had a few stickers on it but it cleaned up really nice. Might have to paint it orange to match my KRL 722.

Buddy gave me one of those a few years ago new. I used it a few times and the phillips end snapped off and eventually the jaws broke. This was light duty stuff working on a computer case when it broke.

Needless to say, I was not impressed.

Had to stop by the store to warranty my breakers bar as the knuckle had broke and to pick up a set of torx bits.
I walked in without receipt as I couldn't find it and was told as my purchases were logged in the system I wouldn't need it. I literally held up the breakers bar and said I need to replace it at which point he turned around picked up a new one and passed me it. You have to love customer service that's like that.

I was originally planning on buying this set to get me by
http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/040225213?da=1&TC=SRC-laser+torx
but walking up the isle I found this set, again with lifetime guarantee and at the exact same price so couldn't resist
http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/pro151-29-pce-metric-socket-set
I also picked up

one is torx the other is torx plus, they have different applications. Don't use torx on torx plus you will strip out the head.
