[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 26462, member: 9438"] I am on the lookout for good quality Snap On and Mac tools to buy and sell, all the time. Some sellers just don't get it that the SAE sockets and wrenches are just not as valuable as the metric sockets and wrenches. I have complete sets of SAE sockets and wrenches but they are lonely from not using. If you own or work on older vehicles, like Car Clubs, then the SAE tools do get used but with everyday vehicles, not so mush. My metric tools use is 95% of the time. Sometimes an SAE tool gets used because the size is a straight swap. 5/16=8mm. I know a guy selling an upper and lower big cabinets Mac Tool boxes set. He wants too much money because he does not realize or refuses to accept, that the uppermost tool storage area on his top box is at 72" and the trend is 2 and 3 tier lower roll around cabinets with a built in work bench on top. Anyone else notice this? [/QUOTE]
