I am not sure how to count them either... I the top drawer of a Snapon KRL1022 mostly full of sockets/extensions and a small army or ratchet handles. For some reason I still find myself needed to bu

One thing to consider when doing auto work is how many sockets do you really need for a given car? Most American cars use very few sizes. Has anyone tried organizing their sockets in groups based on

Different manufacturers seem to have different 'favorite' sizes, it's rare to find a nut that needs an 11mm socket but my Taurus SHO is lousy with the things. The Japanese stuff I've run into seems t

How you organize your sockets and other tools is personal preference. I just separate mine by type and drive (metric, deep, 1/4" drive for example) I do have my 8 point sockets separated, as well tho

I bet you've used the 6.3mm socket a hundred times or more. You just use the one that's labeled 1/4 inch. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Shop-tal

The smallish toolkit that lives in my Land-Rover is set up like this. It's got a set of combination wrenches, a 3/8 ratchet, an extension, a universal, and a socket rail. I took a couple of the socke

Thanks for the replies everyone. I had not seen these plastic stick versions before. They look like they would work well, although by my calculations I would need to 7 sets (one set = one 1/4, one 3/

John talks about a "junkyard set" of tools. John, and others, I found that the best set of tools for that is the metwrench stuff. It was a TV infomercial a bunch of years back, now they can be found

Go out to your shop and pick out one of them. Toss it in the trash. Ten minutes after your trash pickup, you will need that socket for something. Don't tempt Murphy. -- Phil Ethier West Side Saint P
