Thanks for the tip! I'm going to order from international tonight. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I don't mind the pin detent. I'm just a diy'er. I usually just turn the socket so the pin doesn't line up if I'm doing auto work and changing sockets a bunch. If I'm driving a bunch of lag bolts I lock the pin in and I find it handy in that application. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage...

I've been trying to purchase the M18 1/2" impact driver kit, model #2860-21 from Home Depot for over a week. It's on sale for $219. They have been out of stock. Just received a message saying the kit has been discontinued and they will not get it in. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage...

I've never had any worse issues with ball end hex keys as regular. The only advantage of plain for me is when I occasionally have to cut one down to fit... but I guess I could cut the ball end off too so it probably doesn't make much difference. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal...

What is terrible about them? Just the fact that they don't clean up? Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I'm not a pro... just a DIY'er. I will use them for DIY automotive and when working on tractors and farm equipment so they will be exposed to grease and oil. I have Klein's for electrical work so I don't really care if they get dirty. They'll be replacing my old Craftsman from the 80's that...
