I am going this weekend...for a 3/8 set that is a pretty good price.  I need to look into that "inside track' membership and see what it costs.

The Pittsburgh line has come a long way over the years and I like the life time warranty.

Most everything I own in terms of socket sets is older Craftsman, some from the 50's from my dad.  Everything I have bought was always on sale and pretty cost effective.  Now there is barely a Sears store (or Kmart) to be found.  The older Craftsman mechanic tools, especially the ratchets, are Amazing ... new stuff has plastic parts and suck.

Although the 1 inch socket set I got years from HF has been bullet proof!

HD Husky line is nice, rarely on sale here.

My problem is that I have some things at the farm and some at the house...the move will at least let me consolidate my main items in the Garage/Workshop on 30' of wall space.

I have a lot of duplicate tools...just can't get rid of them...3 table saws, 4 circular saws, 2- 1 inch drills, 3-1/2 inch drills, 2-3/8 drills...etc...a lot of was hand me downs...still hard to weed things out.

Crap, didn't even notice that was an inside track one, I have heard mixed reviews on the inside track, some love it, some hate it and say they don't even recoup the membership fee. Can read comments here.

Ratchets you say? Try HF's composite ratchets; they rock!

Hello, My name is GR, I like HF...I was there this morning with my 20% off coupon and my free 25 ft tape measure coupon.  I got a 2 ft level, zip ties, a half inch hammer drill...and a 2 free tape measures (I gave my son a couple of dollars to buy the zip ties and use my 'other' free tape measure coupon.

I may have a problem here...but I don't care...going to the farm to try out the hammer drill!!!!

Gravel is this the hammer drill you got? The 10 amp has pretty good reviews. I had to hang a gate off the side shed today and drilling through the cement block with a cordless was not ideal, it worked but not the best.
