I wouldn't be caught dead using tools that make me sound like I ride the short bus. I just think of a 2yr old saying "look mama ifixit! Ima big...

    31/32 socket?

    Is this a real size or is it for breaking a stripped 1' fastener? Never heard of some of these funky SAE sizes out there. I have mainly worked on japanese motorcycles and newer cars so I don't have a huge amount of experience with standard sizes.

    Pass through socket set

    Last year I bought the big GW pass through socket set. When looking at the reviews for this set I thought to myself "God, I'm going to be using this set all the time!" Couldn't be farther off base. I literally almost never have a use for them. I did use it maybe once on some threaded rod but...
