    WTF Sears!!?!

    I got a $50 gift card to Sears from the inlaws for Christmas. I used it to order a 52 piece 1/2" impact socket set.

    Oscilliscopes

    Personally, I would go with a used Tektronix if you are not going to get an automotive-specific scope. They are the best in my opinion and you can get used ones for a decent price.

    what a fluke!

    I believe flukes are the best handheld DMMs. I have a 73iii and have used a 77BN and a 179 for work. Metermans are garbage. Simpson's are great but old and bulky.

    Need a Good 1/4" Ratchet
