    Facebook Mkt Plc advertised Estate sale yesterday morning. Opens at 9 and I get there at 830 standing around with three other old-timers BSing. Lady comes to the door and puts out the sign.

    Ever buy something you didn't expect to use, but use it all the time?

    Kind of..... I bought that Icon stick light, really like it. When I first got it I thought how dumb to have a tiny light in the tip. Boy was I wrong. That tip light is great to snake down into an area and light up just that spot for easy viewing.

    Rate rolling tool chest

    Another thing to consider is HF has a replacement parts website where you could possibly order slides in the future.

    3/8 dr bit adapter for my M12 ratchet. 3/8 dr to 1/2 dr adapter for my M12 stubby. I wanted the adapter where the 3/8 dr anvil fits into the 1/2dr anvil, I think it'll be stronger. Also got a cheapie roll pin punch set. Being snowed in with nothing to do I'll bet Amazon is busy....

Ebay will get you top dollar, but you better know how to ship tools safely and cost effectively. Shipping will burn you every time if...

    Tool Brands you cannot stand . . .

    I hate New Britain sockets because when I'm buying at an estate sale those New Britain look just like Snap-on sockets......

    Tool hauls brands you look for and brands you pass up

    The chrome Craftsman USA wrenches are gold but the raised panel stuff leave behind. I never buy Plumb.

    Where is the M12 Fuel Insider Ratchet Thread?

    You're missing the big draw.... extended reach, 1/4 dr insert, 3/8 dr insert and a hex bit insert too I believe. I can buy one ratchet and use everything.

    Which Socket Brand or Brands if Starting From Scratch?

    Tools break and need to be replaced. If you're buying used you can get any of those manf tools you listed reasonably, but are you going to be able to replace a broken one easily? I have several sets with oddball replacements in them, doesn't bother me a whole lot. But if it would bother you...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Worked on the Mustang. Frustrating day. Tackled two projects which generated several more. Figured everything out.... kind-of. Now on hold for parts. Bought this Mustang a month ago, very happy with it but now the tediousness of finding and dealing with previous owners half-assed repairs...
