Well, being the tool truck junkie that I am, I have a rack full of both 6 and 12 point sockets....In 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and even a set of 12 point 3/4" drive left over from the farming days!!!! Too many tools is like too much horsepower, can't ever imagine it happening to me!!!!

Like Dave, I also have 6 and 12 point sockets and wrenches from 1/8" to 3" in all different drives from 1/4 to 1" and even a couple of 1 1/2" drives. Nearly all of them are 30+ years old. The 6 point stuff shows a lot of use, while the 12 point stuff is almost like new. Some of the Proto stuff is 50 years old and is still used nearly every day. Point is, if you are buying first sets of sockets and wrenches, buy 6 point. As the need arises, buy 12 point stuff.

Sockets??? Who needs them? If you can't fix it with a Cresent wrench and vice grips it ain't worth fixing.

I bet most of you are like me and have one drawer filled with wrenches you have bent, ground, welded on, and otherwise butchered up to fix one particular job. I usually keep a couple of drawers of extras that I save so that I can modify them whenever I need one to go into some inaccessible spot. I also have sockets that I've welded onto pieces of steel, just to get me out of some jam that I was in.
