Random Thoughts.....

I got my youngest son this set a couple years ago. Been a really good start. And I personally think its a better value than Hobo Freight based on the actual tools you get vs bits and whatnots. Then supplement it with some larger wrenches from @jeepinmatt and be all set!

wow that set is a really good deal, And IMO... the molded plastic case is a very nice-have. Makes it so much easier to keep up with what is missing, what socket goes where etc. And for somebody that doesn't have a dedicated "tool space" just closing the kit and slipping it into a drawer, under a bed or whatever is so convenient.
 
My neighbors must think im crazy or bipolar or something. We (so me while the wife looks pretty and provides motivation) are fencing in the back of the property and I decided some tunes were needed. I powered up my big hilti speaker and let er rip on Spotify. Blasting everything from confederate railroad and Alan Jackson to Eminem, shinedown and Ozzy at ear splitting levels to be heard over the auger.

That’s the one I was looking at actually. Basically the same set I started with when I was 20, and still have the same set.. minus the 10mm of course.

Having boarded a plane, wrangling 18 students to fly home and getting cancelled due to mechanical issues is bad.
Starting at 2:30 am after walking tours of 20k steps is worse.
Getting the run around til noon is much worse.

Getting rebooked for an extra night in Spain, on the Mediterranean sea in a Five Star facility on the tours/air service dime...........not so bad!

I remember you telling me about this trip when we met to exchange doll hairs for tools. Bet it was amazing.

That may have been Italy. This one has had major hiccups. Spain.
 
Another random.......these fawkers still haven't figured out how to get our group home without splitting under age travelers off by themselves with multiple connections including a overnight in foreign lands.

Having visited this part of Spain I completely understand why life there is a little slower.
