From top to bottom we have:

a Proto 5468 18 5/8" 1/2" drive Socket Hinge Handle Grainger $66.40

a Duralast 72-123 18 1/2" 1/2" Breaker Bar - Autozone $12.99

a Craftsman P2 Phillips Shorty screwdriver #4118 - Sears $3.99

I paid $3 each for the breakers and $1 for the screwdriver. They all look almost new.

The Duralast will go in the wife's Festy with a 14mm socket for a lug wrench as the factory 12" one won't cut it for her. I'll Plast-i-dip the handle for her as well. The Proto will go into my box and my current no name 1/2" 18" breaker will be relagated to yard duty. The P2 will go in my box.

$83.38 + tax vs $7, I think I did okay, the tax would have been $7.09

Nice work! Nothing better than getting a good deal on stuff you can use all the time.

The proto for $3 is a steal. Good job!

14mm lug nuts?

 

[1320stang]

Ford Festiva, they hold the 12" wheels on.....

And they're lug.... bolts?

i thought lug nuts only came in 17/19/21/23mm for general cars.

 

[davesnothere]

Huh. I dont think ive seen smaller than 17mm. But i dont think ive ever worked on a festiva at all either.

 

[ddawg16]

Ok....you earned it.......

"You ****".

Just remember, unless you actually use these tools, you may have just wasted $4

well in that case, i doubt he would make a loss on those tools, pop them on ebay, profit!

Yup, it's very well made. That was a steal on your part.

Well, my no name 18" breaker is a named 17" breaker, its a Williams S-41 without the square drive in the end. so no yard duty.

Pretty much all my tools get used often unless they're specialty tools. And now-a-days my metric tools get WAY more use than my SAE stuff.

I'm getting a list of missing sockets and going back to this place, they have loose socket tonnage. Might even see if he'll let me make up sets to zip tie together in exchange for freebies.
