*drool* There's a lot of green **** on ebay lately. I might get this, depending on the auctions that end tomorrow. I sure appreciate everybody that PM's me or makes a thread about this stuff.
I'm starting to get a decent collection at home:
When I joined this forum, I had 3 ratchets at home, 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" Craftsman raised panels. You bastards made me get these:

at least you didn't fall asleep while waiting for an auction to end. Then you would feel really silly

Those are *gasp* popular mechanics nutdrivers. I have the full wrench, socket, screwdriver, nutrdriver sets. To be honest, I had little problem with it, except for when they "upgraded" to a new version of ratchet. I got some warrantied (I was being stupid with them), and got the "new and improved" version which SUCKED, and broke immediately. Meanwhile, they came out with a newer yet design, which seemed ok. However, they wouldn't give them out for warranty until the older ones were depleted. I went in circles with them about it.
I finally gave in, and took the "improved" ones home, put them in a 10" wilton vise, got a 3' pipe, and broke them again, and again, and again, and again, until I ran through their entire stock at the store and they gave me the decent ones.
Idiots. I was getting two new ratchets a day for a week.

The PM stuff were the first tools I ever owned (until they got stolen), and I still say that they were pretty good tools for what they were. A lot better than some of the **** Walmart carries now.
You know, don't take this the wrong way, but sometime you can be a little "rough around the edges" for my taste, but I really like how you handled the warranty situation. They were trying to screw you over and you didn't let them.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who spotted those new Stanley "USA" screwdrivers. The one I saw was a 4 pack for like $4.88 IIRC. They didn't strike me as being any better than the non USA version. Plus, I think the fine print said that at least part of it was made from global components.
What?
I'm speaking of the friendly neighborhood Merk stalker.
The one who generally contributes nothing except for complaints.
