New Tools
I just picked up a Craftsman 3/8 drive ratchet/socket set on sale at Sears for $19.99. Standard and deep SAE and Metric with long and short extensions. Came with it'* own molded red plastic carry case with a handle. My old set has a new owner, so I'm rebuilding. Also got a pair of medium ViseGrips.
I stopped into the Home Depot on the way back and picked up some less expensive drive adapters (3/8 to 1/4 and 3/4) and a 7mm deep 12pt socket.
Tomorrow I'll pick up a pair of Craftsman Electrician'* Needle Point Pliers. Strips multiple gauges, crimps, cuts, insulated - $19.99.. what a deal.
I broke in my new ratchet set by replacing the left rear backup bulb in my LeSabre. Had to remove the whole trunk-mounted end panel light assy - took about 10 min start to finish.
Next on my list is a set of screw driver tipped sockets.

Very Nice! Good clear camera you have as well!
Hmm...I could use another tool box for the Buick. That small craftsman look interesting.
Will have to go to a store here and see one!
Thanks for posting all your new tools!
