    I still don't think metabo should have ever attempted Lowes. Lowe's is a very homeowner oriented hardware  store and Metabo is not  a homeowner tool. That and they wouldn't have even stocked any of the tools that I would want. I like it how it is locally. They sell Metabo at  places where guys that would use metabo would actually regularly go, aka the industrial/welding supply store. Most major industrial companies purchasing agents won't ever go near a Lowes. They're going to go into the industrial suppliers and set up an account and get themselves setup with regular  deliveries and then when they need a tool they make one call and the next delivery has a dozen metabo grinders.

    Lowes has been known to do some goofy stuff... I bought a a fair amount of Knipex when they were closing it out. Seriously, expensive German pliers at Lowes?

    Do you think you could put them side by side with some full length deep well sockets?

     

    This might be a better comparison. Carlyle vs Carlyle:

  3. I'll see if I can find some tonight in the disaster area that is my garage.

     

    I doubt I can bring myself to spend the money, but the long combo wrenches (that the C-Man wrote a glowing review on) and the flex stubby ratcheting wrenches interest me...

    Same principle as the rotator ratchets designed by Facom.  They come in handy with oil filter and cartridge wrenches where you don't  have a lot of room to swing the ratchet.  Just rotate ("throttle") the handle to spin the square drive.  There's a video online of the tool in use. Stanley also has a version of these ratchets. 

     

    Jeez, Steve, welcome aboard. Didn't know you liked slumming in this place! LOL

  5. More sockets: NAPA has their 'Real Deals' quarterly flyer out, and the 3/8" drive mid-length/semi-deep sockets are featured in it, so I bought the SAE set to go with my metric set I just bought.

    I think this is all of them.... maybe.

    Turns out that I was talking out my butt... I realize I don't have any of my Snap On rats in there, plus, I just bought a couple of Wright 3/8" ratchets, a 3425 and a 3480. Photobucket is down for maintenance or I'd hang some pics of the shiny new goodness...
