Wrench Tip You Will Thank Me For...Someday.
Harbour Freight is selling a set of these combination open end/box end wrenches for $15. They are called Pittsburgh Pro. The box end is a flank drive type. If you round the corners off a nut with your Craftsman wrench this type of box end will remove it because it engages the center of the flat of the nut, not the corners. It also works on Torx male fasteners. And square fittings.
A handy tool to have and as far as I know, the only other company to make them is Snap-On and a set of those will run you hundreds of dollars. And for $10 you can get a set of 3/8 drive sockets in the same configuration. Althought theres no 12mm!

Got a reciprocating saw there for $19.99 ( http://www.harborfreight.com/power-t...dle-65570.html ) and works better than the DeWalt that costs $99 . They have a 4 piece set of offset ratchet wrenches for $9.99 , http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece...set-68834.html . Great place .
