And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I had a bunch from my alfa days since they were assembled with 10mm bolts, nuts and screws. They are mostly now in the belly pan of my former S-10 where I put them while working on that damn EGR valve. Most were original Craftsman (RIP) 12 point sockets (also RIP) which don't exist any more.
I have a 12 point tacked on a 1/4" speed wrench. The wrench is painted Chevy engine orange. I have cracked the socket and welded it back up a couple of times.
Fortunately for all of us, that one is plastic and won't find a home in any of our toolboxes anytime soon. On the shelf in the shop, sure. On the toolbox? Not so much. They make nice sets of 10MM only, and you can stock up pretty easily these days. https://www.amazon.com/MIXPOWER-Single-Magnetic-Universal-Standard/dp/B0B9XG9S1Z?th=1

ReplyDeleteDam, ain't it the truth. You don't buy 10mm sockets, just lease them. They just hang around till they get tired of you and then they disappear.
