My major problem is with sockets.........it's damn near impossible to read the numbers on the sides..........I might have to get a new set of Craftsman with the huge laser marked numbers..........the existing sets are driving me nuts.

Oh, I sympathize with the socket markings! There are just too many, as well. All I want is the size, who cares about the other stuff? It is that and light. Under the hood on a sunny day is the worst. I actually have to get a drop light out to see anything in the shade!
Getting old sucks. Jim
