LOL. My 40 year old sockets are like new, but the 3/8 ratchet slips. Unfortunately the cost of gas to get to their nearest retail outlet is probably more than just buying another brand ratchet nearby. Our local Ace retailer is run by a SUPER guy who always thanks everybody for their business and really knows his stuff. His store is an old-school hardware store, filled to the rafters with anything you might want. Far better selection than any big-box store in 1/20 of the square footage.

I have a friend who told me he knew a guy who went around yard sales and bought all the Craftsman tools for pennies on the dollar. Then, took them all back to Sears and swapped them for new tools. Sears never balked even when he went in with a truck load.

He would have a new tool Craftsman yard sale at least once per year.
