I got mine this weekend. Totally forgot I had signed up for it until I opened the package to find out what it was.

I'm definitely interested, but being both cheap and broke there's a good chance I won't be able to buy. :)

It sounds like the other ratchets weren't missing, just some new ones appeared. :) I'm guessing it's just random chance and post office ineptitude instead of something deliberate. Two boxes with tools busted open. Post office worker sees open box that has tools in it and figures the loose...

Has Elroy been working on his Volkswagen again? :bounce:

I got a paper catalog with my last order which was a couple months back. Very nice catalog. I'd shoot Mike an email.

I do like how much more comfortable this one is when it's cold. The switch is reversed from most of my other ratchets, but otherwise I like it.

The DID looking riveter on this page is supposed to be pretty decent. It looks like they have raised the price significantly if you don't also purchase a chain from them at the same time. They used to be about $15. http://www.mikesxs.net/products-7.html?category_id=7.1

You can use blades from all the other manufacturers? I thought I had read that they all used a proprietary mounting system so you had to buy blades from them. I may just have to pickup the HF version with the next 20% coupon.

I don't have any information about that Atlas box, but it looks very similar to the Harbor Freight box with the deep drawers from the tox box swapped with the shallow drawers on the bottom. The Harbor Freight combo will be a couple hundred cheaper with a 20% coupon...

I suspect Merkava will be along soon to complain about the huge hole in that handle. :bounce:

+1. I just got the long wrenches in satin and love them, but I was looking at the AAEW series in the catalog and wouldn't mind giving a couple of them a try too. They look quite nice.

I'd be very interested in a complete 3/8" set of those potential mid-depth sockets you had mentioned. :)

I just got some Toptul 1/4" drive metrics from Mike a couple weeks ago. I've been using them on the bike and like them quite a bit. Too early to say anything about long term durability, but they feel high quality so far. They were ridiculously cheap, something like $.60-$.70 a piece. They may be...

I've used 7mm sockets on my ford truck. Seems to be pretty common for small stuff like around the dash.

That looks like a pretty good deal. It looks like with all the crazy deals Sears is running this weekend you can get both 7 piece sets for $65.50. A little better value than the 5 piece sets, unless you only need only need one set or specific sizes.
