Sign of the times..

I remember when there were really no metric sockets(tools). No need. It wasn`t that long before I realized that WHEN I lost broke them it was cheaper if I waited until I was missing a few to just wait until they went on sale again and bought another set. I THINK that there are a few in  the lake where I parked my boats. I bought good stuff,lifetime warranty etc. I bought a LOT!! :oops:   of socket sets. Every now and again I would combine the odd ones into ANOTHER set. I have lots of socket sets everywhere

  Doing yet another clean up..I figured which sockets I would need to make up some more sets and replace lost ones.

  Sale time..went and bought another set. 3 8 drive..sae and metric. Nice case.

  Actually took a while to sink in :oops: metric 10-20mm sae..SAE  :evil: NO 3 8,7 16,1 2,9 16 sockets. There was a 5 8,11 16,3 4 sae.

  I never even bothered to look..or at the case..BEFORE I bought them.. Just WHAT :evil: kind of socket set would not have the above.

Gee Arnold ...You said it took awhile to "sink in"....  :?  :?

 Are these tools only used around boats  :?:      Did you ever think about fishing in that area with a magnet    
Prolly LOTS cheaper than buying new tools all the time ....  Maybe tie a piece of string to them      How about little-bitty floatation devices  :?:  

Just tryin' to help...... :?

But, isn't it kind of funny that metric sockets use sae drives; 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"?

[chimp koose]

if God wanted the world metric , Jesus would have had 10 desciple4s . I rest my case .
