Picked up the metric set of Craftsman Locking-Flex ratching wrenches last week, which were on sale at my local sears. Also got a Craftsman super short 3/8 wobble extension.

you know what's not apparent in this thread is how much time is actually spent SEARCHING for the best tool deals. You may have purchased only 3 items recently, but spent countless HOURS on craigslist, ebay, tooltopia, amazon, sears, toolwarehouse, flea markets, pawn shops, slickdeals, etc, etc, etc

That is, of course, if you're like me and try to find the best bargain

In the last couple of weeks.
Toptul 1/2" drive rotohead ratchet for a friend of mine birthday
Toptul 8" heavy duty dykes to see if they are any good.

If I could pick the tools that I wish I had bought in the last few weeks. I want what fatrod got.

Yep, it's a JD2. Cost over here was $1k with only one former! Would love the hydro but that's something for the future!
