DOH brakes!

Yeah. Where I work now, my projects are spread between 2 buildings and a parking area. Since I'm used to having 2 or 3 stalls within walking distance of my toolbox this either means a lot of walking or leaving tools spread out all over the place. I've worn out a bunch of shoes in the last year and a half walking back and forth looking for tools that I know I'm the only one who's used them. This getting old shit sucks, I'm telling you.

An excellent reason to buy more tools. :)

No but there are a coupla tools that make it easier. I personally didnt care much for the beveled pucks on the Nissan Maxima on the rear. Almost felt like welding them in place and putting on bigger front brakes and a drag parachute for the rear.

Yeah. You know you are really getting up there when you find yourself checking out those "geezer model" socket sets at the local Sears with the huge labels.

I warrantied a couple of Craftsman sockets a while back and the new ones have the laser etched numbers on 'em. I don't like 'em, because when the sockets are dirty it's extremely hard to see the numbers, especilly through old eyes. I much preferred the stamped numbers.

Noticed that myself. There isn't enough contrast to see the numbers. Wonder if you could fill in the etching with a black sharpie...

That works good. I do it with my sockets, but I use a marker called a Marks-All. They are even more chemical resistant than a Sharpie.
