Thumbs up Useful Socket Set - Pass Throughs
Got one of these Pass Through Socket sets for Christmas

Has already saved me multiple times where ratcheting wrenches won't work and standard sockets won't fit.

I've seen them at Sears. (Craftsman Tools usually have lifetime replacement also)

Uh, since that say Craftsman on them and that is a Sears brand, I am pretty sure you can buy them at Sears

Of course they just announced the are closing over 40 stores this year, so who knows

In the now frozen midwest Craftsman tools are sold at Ace Hardware. You know "...the place with the helpful hardware man..."!

While on the topic of good to have wrenches, this https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-89-96.../dp/B000HEKV1W can be very useful. In tight places you can spin the handle to turn the socket, otherwise it functions like a normal ratchet.

For difficult to reach areas but be careful not to over-torque in aluminum !!

Gearwrench and others are cheaper

Craftsman is being purchased by Stanley Black & Decker....the brand isn't going away and will likely be more widely distributed soon.
