Mine too lol. Does yours happen to be in Indiana?

I have the paper catalog as my..uhm...bathroom reading material. Along with the current bass pro and cabelas catalogs.

Not to bring back a dead thread, but I'd rather do that than open a new redundant thread. I just ordered the CT761 cordless 3/8 impact yesterday. Anyone try one of those out yet? Can't find much on them at all...hoping it's a good investment.

Your generations' morons are smarter than my generations'. :lol_hitti

Been browsing a lot more than posting, but this post has peaked my interest enough to post. I'm 20 years old as well. Now this is absolute ****. My generation is filled with a bunch of morons. They have no respect for this country and what it stands for. They're lazy. They rely on other people...

I saw that the wrench set the other day online. Almost pulled the trigger. Only reason I didn't is it doesn't list the included sizes. Would someone mind listing the wrench sizes..? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This forum is going to be the death of me. I'm going to go broke from all the damn tools I want. :scared:

I heard buy the double box end XBM series. Got it!

Lots of great input here. Thanks everyone who has contributed. I haven't considered GearWrench either until this point. I don't plan to use these tools forever. Just a good foundation to build and grow upon. I still am undecided as to whether I will go the route to be a tech or continue working...

It sounds to me like most people would recommend sticking it out until I can afford the better stuff. I do have a little Craftsman USA set available to use for the time being. I just like the idea of having my own tools. I've also never been fond of buying in small amounts. I think that is the...

I can definitely see that being a total PITA at times.

Even though I haven't bought anything from our Matco guy yet, we talk regularly and he's a cool guy. I have a feeling warranties with him would be a painless process.

Thank you for the info on flex ratchets! To the typical consumer, yes the Armstrong version is a lot cheaper (half the price cheaper). Lucky for me, I get 50% off of Matco with my student discount. The Matco would run me $66.93. Less than a $2 difference from the Armstrong. That being said...

Revival of the dead. I know in the review you said the 1/2" sockets are 12 point. What about 1/4" and 3/8" sockets though?

Yes, 17mm is a very common size fastener. The Kobalt set doesn't include a 17mm wrench. However, it does include sockets that go above 14mm. IIRC sockets go up to 22mm.
