ah yes, corrected now. I tried to get a picture but it was too dark. It was at the Menards in Tipp City, OH

I was in Menards the other day looking around and went to their hand tool section. I was glancing through their socket sets. For some reason this 6pt socket caught my eye in a 12pt set. Upon looking at it closer, one side was stamped Craftsman 17mm and the other side was stamped Masterforce...

you can get one re-calibrated for about $50

Their 1/4" torque looks exactly like my Proto ones, granted both are made by Stanley. Would be kind of curious to see how it(Husky) would compare.

I have noticed this at HD with a Stanley ratchet in a Husky set. This "should" make exchanging sockets, if they would to break, a lot easier? I wonder if Wal-Mart will follow suit?

For a while now I have noticed their socket/wrench selection has been sucking or lack there of. Well I was in there today and they totally reorganized their socket and wrench section. They now have a bigger individual socket selection in all 3 sizes. They also have individual wrenches! Most...

Just out of curiosity, is there a big advantage to the quick release ratchets over the non? I can only think that the quick release will let you swap sockets a little easier or with one hand? What's everyone think or do you have a favorite? :3gears:

grab me a couple hand planes there!

Was cruising through Lowes the other day and say they had their Kobalt stubby wrenches marked down to $14 from $25 per set. Thought that was a pretty good price, but how often do you use stubbys. Probably would be useful to just have on hand for that price? I don't see them on their website so...

:thumbup: Ah, that makes sense, I guess my question pertains more towards the flex then.

I think my ignorance spoke...I guess I meant to say swival/flex sockets? I guess the universal is just an adaptor?

I have universal socket adapters, is there a need for dedicated universal sockets? If so what size is used most? 1/4 or 3/8?

Finally found this on clearance at the Tri-County Mall in Cincy. 3/8th for $12, I had $10 off via my shopper points, so I got the last one for a cool $2!!! no too shabby
