Some dismiss it as a gimmick, but a Gator Grip self adjusting socket has proven very helpful to me at times.

I also do not regret buying “Metrinch Made in USA” decades ago.

The 12mm and 15mm are good to hide not much you can substitute for those two. A 9/16" will work for the 14mm and a 1/2" you can with a little push fits a 13mm. That darn 10mm socket or box end wrench is a bitc# to lose.

This is going to go over like a lead balloon here, but Imperial sucks. God I love Metric. Base ten measurement for the win.

I have 2 boys. Bet I'm not the only one that has gone into the store and bought 10mm sockets, extra pliers, and of course screw drivers. No matter how many of these I buy, they all magically disappear flame

Just for fun, after he gets his first tool box with several drawers, move a few tools into the wrong drawers.

My son was great at taking tools out of my box, the forgetting which drawers he got them out of, so he put them "away" someplace in the box he thought maybe they came from. I would go to the correct drawer to get a tool and find it not there, after a couple years, I figured out I needed yo look for that missing toll in every drawer, it could be anyplace in the box.

I ended up creating a place on the work bench to put tools after clean up, pile them all in the bench space and I would return them to the proper location. I had a lot less lost tools.

Nothing is worse than when I drop a socket down into the engine bay and it doesn't fall all the way through and hit the ground....
