1/4 is the only stuff I couldn't care less about when it's green. I just see zero use for 1/4. I don't know if I am being a **** because I am not trying to be but why in the world would you want to use 1/4 if you ALREADY own 3/8 stuff? Is there any reason at all?

i use 1/4 drive stuff more than 3/8, fits in tight spots better, doesnt rub fresh paint as easy as a larger 3/8dr of the same size would in those spots. 10mm 1/4 drive with a 6" wobble plus on a green hard handle flex head lives in my hand most of the day.

When im working on my jetskis, I use 1/4 inch 80% of the time. The only time i touch 3/8 is when pulling a head or splitting cases. Jetskis are a tight fit and use a lot of small fasteners. Just about every single bolt in a jetski requires a 10mm socket.
On my car, I mainly use 3/8 and 1/2. Although, with my new FHLF80 i dont use 1/2 as often.

There are plenty of tight spaces where a 3/8 socket is simply too thick to fit, but a 1/4 socket fits easily. For example, on Nissan QR25 engines, when replacing the crank sensor, it is not possible to fit a deep 10mm 3/8 socket, but a deep 10mm 1/4 socket is thin enough to fit the bolt holding it in place.

Why can't I see any of these pictures from facebook? I always have to quote the user and copy paste them in a new window to see them.

lol an expert I'm not but I do come upon a few yellow tools every now and again. The last few things to fill out my son's set are about driving me around the bend though. They're out there but by the prices, the sellers think they're selling the only one ever made!

My SO dealer refers to me as the "Green Guy" because I am the only guy on his route who always asks what he has in green. I am also the only guy on his route with a white toolbox.

Just sitting her having a chuckle. Green ****. That is a hoot.
Have any of you ever said I need to get me some green ****?
If I said that people would think I was looking to bang a little leprechaun. LOL
What is it that makes people need to have a pacific color? It really cracks me up.
I have a masters in Art and I really would like to know. I like the Snappie green. If I were going to buy a color that would be it with some hot pink tossed in. Might as well have limp wrist tool box and go all in if you must. LOL

If you ask me those who must have a pacific color are in need of a little mental health treatment. LOL

Then again all collectors need that at times. I know I do. LOL:thumbup:

That locker is awesome! Also awesome is that you have a green broom haha.

It is kinda ****** that the 2 drawer bo on top appears to be a different color green. Possibly a bad mix?

I painted the two drawer box myself to match that's the best I could get mixed up.
