I found a great deal on Craftsman socket/ratchet sets! Sear has extended their Black Friday sale until these sell out and I've bought several sets of their 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch driver sets for $9.99 and $8.99 each! I kept one of each for myself and the others are Christmas gifts for relatives and friends! An awesome deal for some great tools that have a life-time warranty!!

On another note,

Dec 9, 2016 - Sears death watch update: Is it time to prepare an obit for our least-essential department store?

I suspect each store had their inventory....

I got the 3/8" set last month. That is a great deal! The ratchet alone is worth more than that. I need to pick up the 1/4" set along with a loose 14mm to add in to keep in the car. 14 seems like a necessary size to have, not sure why it stops at 13. I've been doing a lot of tool shopping lately at Sears. You can't beat the prices on Craftsman tools this time of year!
