Harlan, Mama said your tractor is cute

What are your intended uses?  Obviously it isn't replacing the Cat :))

I would not have minded being able to get a whole set of those.
I don't need anymore screwdrivers right now or I'd see what's available.

These were late Christmas gifts that I didn't actually buy.

Mostly all generic off brand Chinesium ( the safety glasses are Taiwanese like most you'll find )
The 2 pairs of safety glasses I can definitely use, and the stamps I will use and am not particular with regards to quality with those.

The wood chisels will make good beaters,  and the roll pin punches are not something I like to go cheap on but my WILDE set doesn't go this small so I'll use those little ones as long as they'll last.

Tools are something I don't really like getting as gifts because of course it tends to be generic Chinese stuff from Amazon, but in this case they ended up being stuff I could use.

That is a fantastic price. The Sunex tools that I have used performed just fine.

$15 is a bargain, I've got an old Lisle set that I use way more than I expected to. A lot of things are Torx now.

There a day old and used it already. It's one of those tools you just grab and use greasy fingers or not.

Saw this set could not pass it up, bore bars, 1/2 and 5/8... stout no flex kind of deal.

Lately grinding HSS blanks into tooling. Surprising how easy it really is and the tool produces a nice finish. 

Each has its place HSS & Carbide, I think this set and the size of the inserts will have a better finish.

Merry Christmas to me LOL.
