Am needing three complete sets of sockets in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive. Shallow and deep, metric and standard. Have the ratchets and extensions, just need the sockets. I see shops around here with huge trays of loose sockets and am headed to town today to price them. Looking at American made only.
What do you think, PITA or worth the trouble? Guess it depends on what they want for them and what my time is worth.
If I buy new, do you guys have suppliers that let you build your own sets rather than having to buy a bunch of junk you don't need or want?
I don't see that you have anything to loose if you have the time. I would enjoy the hunt personally. The only thing is that there are more and more cheap products on the market so expect to look through lots of stuff. The pawn broker might be willing to take your name and call you when they get something. Would be worth asking about.
