12ga. Slugs made from Craftsman Sockets

You'd think if someone made slugs from a socket, they'd at least use a Harbor Freight one. But Brian went all out and used Craftsman sockets. He did a fine job of keeping these in spec.

Do you remember when you could take a Craftsman tool back to Sears and get a brand new one, for free? No? I'm too old!

[@TLLConline]

You can still take them in to any craftsman dealer and get replacements. FULL STATEMENT FROM LOWE'S CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS: "we will honor all lifetime warranties no matter where the CRAFTSMAN hand tool was purchased. We ask that customers bring in the item, and we'll replace it if we have the product.

Brian used 3/16 because he couldn’t find any 1/2 or 10mm.

[@taofledermaus]

lol right!?

[@ryanwilson_canada]

Oddly enough, i did a pickup for a client going to a nursing home, and found a toolbox with mostly 10mm sockets and wrenches. I thought i hit the jackpot. (Until they all magically disapear that is)

[@ardmagnuson7403]

Does he need some? I should have about a dozen rolled behind my tool boxes!?!

[@danphelps8865]

Always the 10mm..

[@support2587]

It's well known fact that metric tools, especially the most useful ones (looking at you 10mm) migrate back to the lands of their birth, France. There they are collected up by dedicated socket "farmers" cleaned and sold back in single packs to frustrated Americans.

[@keylargo2001]

Be really interesting if he filled the sockets with lead. It would not only change the projection of it. But also add some mass to the point that they would probably go through the lead plate.

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

One thing is for sure, they damn sure work!! Always another great video by Jeff and the T Maus team!!! The best!

That pea-ruption was satisfying to watch.

[@mcburcke]

Yeah, 3/16" sockets are expendable. Another expendable is a 9mm socket. The biggest mystery in a repair shop is where do all the 10mm sockets disappear to?

[@taofledermaus]

lol! A socket set should come with 3 or more spare 10mm sockets

11mm is also never used.

Not the right size socket just got a new meaning. Oscar i believe is heading u're way for this 1 Jeff. Sad an true part is ive shot sockets outta my shotguns usually dipped in glue or wax, with some lead in the center of socket.

The amount of times of reached for a socket, the etching all faded, placed it on my wrench only to find either nut is metric or worse, imperial and my socket is a fraction of an mm out and then hurled said bit.

[@tonytrumble]

That saying about the mechanic that can fix stuff is what impresses you reminds me of a shop I worked for the owner hired me because he knew me and my ability. The other mechanic he had working there had just about every snap on tool there was and I only had the bare minimum from sears. He always made fun of my tools saying he's a better mechanic because he has all the best that snap on has to offer. I would just laugh and say ok the tools don't make you a good mechanic, your ability to diagnose and fix the problem makes you a good mechanic. The owner finally heard this guy downing my tools and he told him that my tools may not be as expensive as his but they're used properly by a much better mechanic. I just said thank you I appreciate it. That other mechanic never said anything about my tools anymore. Thanks for saying that quote, that was a great memory.

[@taofledermaus]

When I first started out, I had the bare minimum tools and each check I'd buy a new set of something I needed for the job. The worst thing you can do is ask to borrow tools from other guys.
