Title: A package from DeadNutz
Post by: hickory n Steel on September 22, 2018, 12:53:15 PM
A few days ago he messaged me asking if I wanted a 6" 1/4 extension as he saw neither of my sets had one.
He also asked me if there were any sockets I needed and I told him I mostly needed to find a universal, and he happened to have one he didn't need.

The package arrived today with a little surprise.

He threw in a nice Challenger 1/2 combo, and while it's not necessarily something I was looking for or anything you can never have too many 1/2" combos and the finish is pretty damn good. It went right into my house box.
I've got an older? 9" CHALLENGER ALLOY 5/8 - 9/16 DBE and the finish is not near as good.

The 6" extension is an older HUSKY which is cool, and the universal is a really perfectly usable Crew Line Japan which I've never heard of.
I like that it's screwed together for when it gets loose, and it fits all the sockets and handles in my main 1/4" set in the Challenger case well so I'm happy.
I can remove a socket without the universal coming with it and it's not too tight to remove.
The 6" extension i would have liked to fit in the main set but it won't , so it went into the garage set and it's 3" Craftsman went into the main set.

A big thanks again to DeadNutz.

I was happy to do it for H&S as he needed the 6" extension and universal. The combo must have been another one of those deals where it just fell off the bench and landed in the mailer. ;D

both pretty handy to have in 1/4 set and who doesn't need  another 1/2 wrench?

 I'll definitely use both of them.

And there happened to be the absolutely perfect space for the universal in my main set.
