Bought my self something for the first time in a long time.

Ask me how many times I had to put that mess back together. Oh and if you use that as a standalone you'll find that they don't include some very useful sizes, I added a 17mm and 8mm wrench to mine. The only thing I don't like is how a "150pc" kit has at least 30 stupid small tools you'll never use.

I did the same thing, then when I got home from cursing at in the junkyard my wife cut me a piece of soft foam. Put it on top of the sockets, then close the box. It holds everything in place so the next time I open it everything is where I left it.

In reply to benzbaronDaryn:

As I said, this is a replenishment for sockets I have lost over the last 10 or so years and for what i didn't have. My tool kit I bought 8 years ago didn't come with a 3/8 drive set and it wasn't a big deal because I had a full set. I have bought some individual sockets as time passed, but I came to the realization that I had lost some sockets through moving a couple times and such.

This set has 3mm to 19mm and 9/32 to 3/4 inch. It was on sale too, so it worked out.

Also I'm leaving the stickers on the case, because its easy to tell which is right and wrong.

I must say, the case looks nice. Some time soon I will need a new set like that, a lot of tools have gone missing since I brought my rolling box home 10 years ago.

I'll take a look next time I'm there. Chicago is not all that local for me though.

Bought a husky set a few years ago and love it. BLACK so I know which sockets are mine, with BIG FREAKING NUMBERS that I can read, and deep sockets. No useless silly stuff, just 1/4 and 3/8 drive sockets, 2 ratchets, 2 extensions. You have to pop the sockets in and out of their spots, so if you did open it upside down, nothing would drop.

I agree with you there... had a G/F who loved flannel sheets... they just made me itch

My wife is a fan of flannel shirts in the winter... Just aroud the house, I like her theory of if it's to hot you just take layers off. One layer of flannel just seems to be just perfect!
