I'm really picky when it comes to buying tools. Not only do I want a free replacement guarantee, but I want a quality tool, and I want to be able to exchange it almost anywhere if it does break. I don't have time to wait for the tool truck to come by. Anyway, I was strolling through the isles at Lowe's picking up some cotter pins and a few other small things. When I go there to Lowe's  I usually stroll through the tool department. 

 I'm not looking for anything in particular, but if I see something I can use I'll pick it up. One thing I've been needing is a 1/2-inch-drive 13/16 deep-well thin-wall socket. I only have one and I have to remember to move it from my toolbox to my toolbag when I go on wheeling trips. I use it to remove lug nuts. Anyway, I noticed this particular socket was on sale. And then I noticed that the socket and ratchet selection was pretty thin. Everything was on sale at a deep discount. I don't have a lot of metric tools, I haven't needed them until recently. Don't get me wrong, I have enough to get by but there are a few things I could use. One of them was a set of 1/2-inch-drive deep-well metric sockets. They were on sale at over 1/2-off. So I grabbed 'em. They are made in the U.S.A. so I'm hoping they are quality sockets. In the past I was told they were made by Danaher. Yep, the same Danaher that makes Snap-On tools. But here's my dilemma. It appears that this was a closeout sale. So if the sockets are no longer offered and I break one I could be screwed. Oh well, consider it an experiment.
