>>2952733>Mid-tier socket setWhere are you using these on home repairs?
Not sure what a tool set had to do with Black Panther but I found this set at wally world for $15 and had to have it lol
>>2952750Like two days ago I tightened the legs on my dining table
>>2952750Might not use them for general home repair but most people have a bicycle or lawnmower that needs occasional maintenance. Put together a grill a few weeks ago that used a lot of carriage bolts and nuts. It came with this dogshit micro nut driver made of plastic that would have been extraordinarily frustrating to use, just used socket & ratchet instead.
