    I just picked up a DeWalt DWMT45226H for $130.00. It is a used set, but from looking at it, I only found 1 socket and one ratchet that looked like it have ever been touched. No, It is not everything I wanted, but It is a nice upgrade to my go-box.

    He-He, Ha-Ha, Ho-Ho It means 236.5ml About 30ml in an ounce and 8 ounces in a cup. This is a rough estimation, of course. I am pretty sure that is not going anywhere in the US. Cups, Pounds, Ounces, Teaspoon, Tablespoon are still used in everything here. SAE hardware is still everywhere, but...

    I just discovered that Wiha makes socket sets. Anyone have any experience with them? I have been using the screwdrivers for years. Simply because they are the IMHO the best precision screwdrivers made. I also have a few of the Micofinish Torx and really like them. EDIT: Never mind the Wiha...

    I follow you, and I am rethinking the whole thing. I put all the sockets I already have on a table and shook my head at myself. Obviously, I am addicted to buying tools. I decided to hold off on upgrades for now and concentrate on getting my pile trimmed down. I am in the process of making a...
