I hit the new Lowes in San Jose behind the air port. bought about 6 deep sockets between 12mm and 27mm I was missing, or thought I was missing.

they had a display in the center of the store in one of the main isles for the memorial day sale. may have also said something about fathers day. had some good prices for the combination wrench sets, and socket sets. almost bought some, then thought, just how many do I need of these things/ I have a ton of sockets and box/open ends already.

what I need is the 1/2 inch extentions, and they only had one 6 inch. they had the Gear wrenches marked way down on the individual ones. think about 1/2 price. complete sets for $49.

The new gear wrench that has the flat side you pull against instead of the edge, were all gone. that whole section was cleaned out. only one left was the one on display set up to turn the nut.

I did notice a lot of the packages said, "made in china" or "Taiwan".

I can do as well going to swap meets picking up used Craftsman and other good tool brands. sometimes they are brand new and a little less than retail.
