Reply With QuoteSCA is selling a Stanley 99 piece socket set (1/4", 3/8" drive) for $99. That's apparently 40% off their retail price. Is that a goof deal or just normal pricing advertised as a bargain?

X 3, cut my knuckles breaking cruddy adapters because our sockets are all wrong, rounded bolts because there's nothing but a shifter....etc, the right tool divides the task by 10... so long as the right tool is operating it (sorry...had to, it's a problem I know..Originally Posted by Stan
I usually have to head out and buy new tools each DIY, so I have them for next time.

Not a bad price. 3/8" drive is ideal for mechanical work. Especially DIY. I only tend to use my 1/2" ratchets for larger work like gearboxes, engine removal/installation etc...
Have that with a decent combination spanner set up to maybe 24mm and screwdriver set and your laughing.
In the end there is always going to be a tool you need haha. Sometimes it may be a specialty tool that once in a blue moon you may need it and you wish you owned it. That is where the Snap-on man comes in handy

Combination spanners are included! Awesome, thanks for the help dude. Now I just have to resist buying other crap when I'm there
