i just picked up the 3/8s semi-deep set and got the 1/4 semi deep for free

the 3/8 semi deep ratchet-- thats a hit or miss. i wouldnt use it for everything–just as needed. the sockets themselves though are shallow enough that i can put them on a traditional ratchet and still have a smaller profile than a 1/4 ratchet and shallow socket. so if you own the 1/4 body w/ 3/8 guts ratchet, you will use the piss out of these sockets.

the 1/4 set is setup much like the gear wrench go through socket sets. once again, it is more low profile than the 3/8th setup-- but realistically places that you would use it you would be able to get a gear wrench on.

those 3/8th mids you will love. i never touch my deep/shallow set. thats the default socket. i want the 1/4 inch mid’s, i dont own them. once i pay these 2 sets off that will be my next purchase along with a power probe 3.

i can see the need for 2 lifts. the used lift i am looking at is a rotary 2 post for $1500 installed. a shop upgraded to a heavier lift for trucks. the equipment center took it in on trade. i can swing 1500, but dont feel like paying a monthly payment to buy new–as i would be looking at 3-4k for the rack i want. This is home use garage, not a business.

thats the problem with working on cars all day-- when you go home and go to work on your own shit-- you dont feel like crawling on the floor. i basically stopped on my project car until i buy a lift. call me lazy, i dont give a fuck. im tired of it. no way in hell im crawling under a car again to mock up fuel line/exhaust etc. makes me miserable and the work takes longer.

oh, and speaking of project car—

i scored a set of 75 rabbit “small chrome” euro bumpers. they were a european/australian market bumper for 75/76. i ordered a used set from australia-- they came in today. so thats my purchase for the day.

small euro bumper–
