    Got some new big sockets

    Found this 16pc Kobalt set from cripe for $82 plus shipping. Also bought an 8" extension. All 3/4" sized and all made in the USA. Used my 10% coupon (code is "WINTER2012"). I think it's a pretty good deal for some USA made sockets. Always good when the UPS man brings something from Cripe.
