Very nice. If your in the mood to go back, get a set of the wrenches with an open end on one side and a ratchet mechanism on the other. They are $$$ but they are the greatest thing ever. :cheers:

If you don't already have them, the combination wrench set that has the close-end ratchets are very handy (standard and metric). I think they are on sale (craftsman club card) for $45 a set (reg $80) for 5 piece set.


Is it possible to have too many tools? ..... Sorry, dumb question. :lol:

Good buy! I have those as well...come in handy I'll tell you that. A couple of weeks ago I almost bought the ratcheting combination wrenches which has a ratchet in the box end...only the price kept me sane...$100 was a little too steep for me.

I dig that Sears commercial about the dirt track racer.
....driver, mechanic, crew chief. He may not own all 1800 Craftsman hand tools....
....but there's still time!
