The range on the 3/8” metrics is strange - 6mm to 20mm. Most 3/8” drive socket sets end at either 19mm or 22mm.

Whaaaaat? They said on FB it works with any socket ever made. Surely they wouldn't fib???

MRI sockets will probably fit but they are bronze? so no magnet will hold them.

Thought you bought the Monster ones?

I use the heck out of the 10mm….when I have a fastener that is a bit distant from me, this is my first grab.

All of the comments I've seen Olsa make on Facebook are clear that they should work with any CHROME socket.

That makes sense. I never saw them till that one time and thought they look interesting. And I think they'd work with non-chrome to just sit there but wouldn't be held in place if non-magnetic.

SnapOn 205ipf wobbles, used from eBay. All are tight.

3" holesaw, several 1/4" EM's, a couple 7/16-14 taps, a 9/16-12 tap and three 1-16 taps for a custom MDT tie rod. Still waiting on a LH 1-16 tap (that one wasn't cheap!)

I saw these ion another forum, my local store didn't have them, and prices in different stores varied from $30-$13. I grabbed them for $13, out the door.

Wiha SoftFinish 5-Piece Slottedhead and Phillips Screwdriver Set​

Item #5071104
Model #30273

$11.98. Got two sets. Were hidden.

There are end caps with more stuff too.

Got two sets of the sale screwdrivers (made in Germany, $11.98), and one exchangeable bit screw driver (made in Minnesota, $15).

Sure beats financing spy balloons and military buildup in China.

Some warranty replacements from Napa. Replaced two Napa branded tools. I was a little bummed at the Evercraft wrench but oh well at least they replaced it. Didn’t give me a hassle. The hex bit they had to match the numbers on so I couldn’t get an exact replacement but I’m happy with what I got. I brought in a 10mm and they gave me a 5/16 because that’s what the modern numbers match up too. I can’t complain for almost free tools haha. Paid pennies for them at the pawn shop so I’m not going to complain and wouldn’t have complained if they hadn’t warrantied them either. I did have to go to the Napa in my work town though as the ones by me the employees have no clue what’s going on and I really don’t go there lol.

Koken lug nut sockets and an IR Power Socket in 19mm.

Really like the Koken lug nut sockets. They are thinner walled than my previous set and the extra length provides just enough clearance for swinging the torque wrench.
