    Yep. And several in the tool chests. Another in the console of the truck. And one in the junk drawer. Still can't find one when I need it though....

    This looks like a great thread. Looks like a decent place for my 1st post.

    I play around with rebuilding Toyota trucks.

    I still need to order some 1/2" impact sockets, and i cant decide between short or deep ones. I've got a set 3/8" deep socket for my wrench, but they can sometimes be a pain in the ass and slip off if you are really cranking on a bolt (i have a scar on my hand to prove it).

    Maybe it doesn't really matter since its on a impact wrench, and wont have the tendency to slip off like the socket wrench would.....may have answered my own question.

    My short sockets have more teeth than the deep sockets...?
    And yes, I have both. There are some places that the shorts with extension won't fit and are too short by themselves, hence the deep sockets...
    I think I need a bigger "toy box" or a filter so i can't get to this thread...:rofl:

    I need a rivet gun that can use 1/4” rivets. The one I have right now only goes to 3/16”. Any recommendations?
