I don't know. I can ask my Cornwell guy. I have the Cornwell ratcheting screwdriver with the old handle and much prefer the new style.

Got some more stuff from the truck. He did not have the full 3/8 Metric Standard length hex set on the truck, so I got some misc for the 2.5-14 spread and more to come. Got the box for free, not a big deal tho since I want the PAKTY236 magnetic 11 piece holder for them anyways. Gotta match the torx 
Also warrantied a S71 1/2 rachet that I cracked the handle on, and since its no longer made SO sent me a new S80A. LOVE IT! Wish I could of got a comfort grip model since with 1/2 I'll always have the space. But such is life.

O ok gotcha. Dang how much did the box and starter set run each student? How come they required a box like that and pro tools? my school they jus say bring a bag or box with the basics. That's pretty cool you gotta get that stuff but Idk how I feel being forced. Like right now Im focusing on tools rather than a box.
Is that green hard handle ratchet new? part number? Thank you

No, unfortunately not. I looked at 4 other local sears and none were USA, but they're still very nice for the money.
Local run:
Mississaugahardware -- $120 for the kit, 15 for the adapter, tested the ratchet and I am liking it
used office furniture store, card file cabinets, 1960, made in Canada, very good condition considering age. He's got about 10 more units - 2550 Goldenridge Road Unit 34
$15 each

I'll get the part number for you when I get home. It's for sale minus the sockets if you're interested.

got some american made tool underdogs:
first, the first Wright tool that made it in my tool chest:
there's an unusual, distracting, wobble in the head though so i'll add a thin Delrin spacer under the ring in the coming week...
chrome is just "wow!-ish" but the others rats will be "black industrial finish" like the sockets.
waiting for all the back-ordered stuff now...
there was also a Nupla light Handi-Hammer in the parcel:
finish on the plasticky end-cap is a bit "unfinished" but nothing that some fine sandpaperin' wouldn't fix in a few seconds...
that's it for now!

Link?
Go to lowes, put in your zip code and search "fluke 113". Then click on store pickup and "change store" it will show you which local stores have them and the different prices. FYI it is not THAT great of a meter.

I received the Craftsman (Wilde) 36" non striking pry bar with reward points, I think we have all seen them by now. Great quality and value. This one is still made in USA, I heard CM was dropping Wilde as the manufacturer.

I believe just the tools that were required ran just south of 4k. Plus a box @ 50% off. It's real tempting to get a Snap On box, but I'm saving up for one after I get out instead of getting one that size, then needing a lager one when more tools are needed.
I guess they just want each student to be prepared for whenever they go out into the field. A local community college requires a ton less tools and not as near of large box, so I wonder sometimes how they deal with it.

And Cosmik, I know a GREAT fix for that wobble.. just send me that ratchet!
nah, too expensive to ship that back to the USA methinks. it would put the parcel way over a kilogram...
anyway, i got a nice new use for it as perfect chrome hammer now.
