Magnetic extensions

[Katbird]

I bought a tray of magnetic extensions from mac tools. he said they were new and had been selling a lot of them. seems like a good idea, I remember putting grease in a socket to keep the bolt or nut falling in a tight place. anyway they were not bad for 105.00.

I will have to wait for the Craftsman or HF version that will prolly show up 5-10 years from now! I have too many kids and don't wrench for a living, so that is what I am left with.

About two years ago, my father purchased a 3/8" drive set, at tractor supply (made in China I believe). Fine for as often as he uses them, but I prefer locking extensions, and those magnetic socket inserts.
