I have an accumulation of tools I have bought over the last two decades, and I haven't bought any new mechanics tools in the last 10 years.
I've bought from Sears and I've bought from various other brick and mortar stores, but I always had to go back and buy those two sizes separately. Perhaps someone decided to do something about it.
I don't buy from Amazon, (Amazon corporate supports too many things i'm against) but I do buy from Ebay.
(a de facto international standard with no metric equivalents[citation needed])
So that's rather amusing that the Europeans with their Metric system still use the Imperial standard based drives on their sockets. That's a real hoot!
Well, at least you know how to work with your God-given hands (not surer if they are imperial or metric)!
More so than I like lately. Everyone and their dog wants me to fix their Car, Truck, or whatever.
In-deed. And if only had a pick up you could move them also! I was never a pro mechanic and the most extensive work I did was replacing head gaskets back in the 70's, yet I have some interesting stores to tell, by God's grace (like resuscitating my dad's work car which I completely sunk in a golf course lagoon), but I am sure you must have some also.
Nowadays I do fix (usually) bikes for free in this densely packed city with lots of kids, and thank God I can do something to help others, but few want to learn yet.
