    Steping up to 7/8" and larger via horse trading....

    I printed off a list of sockets and end wrenches I needed - expecting if I ran past Sears or another store that was having a sale, I could pick up a few socket and end wrenches when I was able. Today I was out at my mom's boyfriends farm...seems he has duplicate and triples of many wrenches...
