Those hoses and plastic cooling bits contribute to reason the E30 is more reliable on the track than the newer E36 in crapcan racing (24 hours of LeMons and ChumpCar). You should see how hart these cars are pushed in these 16 to 25 hour endurance races. It is a blast, give it a look/try.

Do you a source does not choke down to 1/4" dia inside?

Well I was successful at plugging my holes with USA made in the individual racks. For the sets, only one USA made remained pictured here next to its Chinese knockoff. Interesting that even the packaging (and price) are the same. At first I thought the grey or black plastic cases meant something.

Sears does sell the matching 40" full width middle drawer box for $199. I sure hope that drawer is 18 gauge or thicker (vs. 20 for the narrower drawers): http://www.sears.com/craftsman-40-inch-1-drawer-premium-heavy-duty/p-00958604000P?prdNo=19&blockNo=19&blockType=G19 Full width drawers do...

jjjrmx5 - great intel, thanks. On my quest to plug these holes with the real USA stuff. I ordered the 1/2" 6 pt deep set on eBay this morning and will swing by Sears at lunch for the 1/4" deep set today. Note the imposter set on the right. Sad.

The 40" Premium HD upper and lower set I just received said "Assembled in Mexico" on the lower cart box. I forgot to check the upper unit. At $700, IMO, it is hard to top this purchase. My buddy has the HF 44" which is a nice box, but this new line from Sears was better suited for my uses...

Other than eBay, these socket sets are becoming harder to find with "made in the USA." My local Sears (Dulles, VA) has a few of the 1/2" metric and 3/8" and 1/4" in metric and SAE in deep 6 pt remaining. When did Sears stop producing them in the states and go 100% off shore?

Sears lowered the price again to $459 for the base and $239 for the top chest. Check their website. I just picked up this set. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-40-inch-11-drawer-premium-heavy-duty/p-00958624000P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3...
