I have my birthday gift cards and probably want to get some new sockets. Then will take some miss matched ones and put in travel tool boxes.
Looking at Craftsman because they are sears gift cards. What I get disappointed in is the sears set organization. Thinking of getting a couple different sets then add individual sockets to get matching set 1/4 thru 1-1/4 and comparable metric sizes. I dislike 12pt sockets. Not too long ago I rounded a metric bolt with a 12 pt socket. Seems lots of metric bolts the corners of the hex have more rounded corners than comparable SAE hex bolts. I have never seen 12 point metric bolts. Do they exsist in factory cars or are they just specialty bolts?
Anyone know the best set? Here is one example of marketing mayhem.
They have a 299 piece ultimate set for $334 and a 308 piece set for $299 Appear to be all the same sockets but with a few extensions extra but I don't see a need for all the 12 point metric sockets especially the 1/2 drive ones std or deep.
