One thing I have started doing, is for all my sockets, I've been moving to 1/2".

I find it nice to be able to have a large collection of short well 1/2" impact sockets and use them not only with my impact wrench, but also with my beam style torque wrench, my 1/2" breaker bar, and also a 1/2" ratchet.

I find myself ignoring my 3/8" sockets for the most part.... except where spacer is really tight.

1/2 is the way to go and impact sockets are way stronger than regular sockets breaker bars are a great tool to have also

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Was a good day.

Jason, yes, I saw that. I was likely within a few hundred yards of your parts last night. I play indoor soccer on Thursday nights and the indoor place is right next door to the UPS facility at 61 and Garnett area. Thought about trying to pull in and pilfer through some pallets, but it was cold and 12:15 am when our game was over.

Yes, hopefully timing will work out better so I can make it to the next mod party.

I'd seen that too, but can't seem to narrow down what the difference is between the two sets as to what those 8 extra tools might be.
