I got this stuff a few weeks ago. The ratchet set was an impulse purchase and the 1/2 drive metric sockets were too hard to pass up with a $200 buy it now.

Wow farmall, nice score on those metric sockets. 10-32mm?

So, I went to Sears today, JUST to exchange a 1" wood chisel...of course I could not leave empty handed.
Found in the clearance, aka 'discontinued for no good reason' section:
3/16 and 1/2 inch 12pt 1/4" sockets 97 cents each
7 piece 3/8 screwdriver socket set 14.97

I also spotted a lone USA 3/8 flex ratchet with hard handle right in front of the Chinese model!

There was also one metric and standard set each of the Craftsman Professional combination wrenches (9 piece)

Got the pass-thru set for $11 from Advance Auto Parts. It's missing the 9mm, but that's not a size i really ever use. :)

Picked this up last week off the Matco truck. I can't remember the part number but it's a 15" long 3/8" drive ratchet "88"
It's badass.

That's awesome! :thumbup: I wish I had a Matco truck come to my work (I only get SO) because I have been wanting to try out an 88 for so long.

My adapters arrived for my air chisel/hammer ect. This will make it easier to change bits they say.

best ratchet available for the home or pro mechanic as far as im concerned. That 15" has quickly become my go-to for larger fasteners in tight locations. Really like it a lot and i wasnt expecting to use it much since im a soft grip fan.

I've only used it on a couple jobs at work so far but it was nice removing the 3 bolts on the side mount to block on a V6 Honda engine during a t-belt job. For years been using the 3/8 rat in the avatar until it broke. I used it to remove a ****** drain plug on an Accord too and it was easier. You can get away with regular rats but these just make it so much nicer.

I was watching how it's made and they were making medical grade tools and I have a buddy who deals in such things. He got me these,

These are great for pulling out orifice tubes on A/C systems or grabbing things and clamping them off.

Picked up some Kobalt wobble extensions and metric hex socket set this evening. They've already been put to use on the motorcycle. :)

Finally bought one of these from the mac guy today for like $20

WORTH EVERY PENNY! Wish I would have bought one years ago! Although I think they're still pretty new. If you ever do oil changes whether it be at work or at home, a must have.

Do you have a item number for this? and are these specific to different vehicle makes?

Was in a bind today. Had to walk over to Sears, dug thru the peg board, and, as posted previously, found the last USA 1/2 flex head ratchet, $32.
