- I have only one MetrInch socket, which I bought for a siezed wheel nut that was getting rounded, and it worked great. I'm going to buy some more, for similar situations. The beauty of the design is

- Yes, I miss Craftsman tools. I've had my 1/2"-drive socket wrench since '79. I once raised my Mazda with it (jack on the end of the handle) to undo my crankshaft pulley nut. If it broke, I could have

- I have my third 1/2" Craftsman breaker bar. I broke two of them trying to force the Center wheel nuts off the rear of my daughter's 65 VW. (I hope the Sears sleuths aren't eaves dropping). I used a
