Default Kobalt 1/4 Drive ratchet

So I was at Lowes today and I can't go in there without buying something, I was looking for an impact extension. Well they didn't have one so I was thinking what can I buy while im here. My 1/4 ratchet is what I use more than anything on my car it seems like, was acting up. Its a Husky from Home Depot. I decided to buy a replacement Kobalt. They were all out of course so I was leaving the aisle and seen there little tool kits. The ratchet I wanted was like $20 with tax and I see this tool kit and its a ratchet, extension, small set of metric sockets and a small set of standard sockets for $25. Im like cool. Then I was like "Who in hell would buy the ratchet when you can get a nice set for $5 more dollars". I don't know why I posted this just bored I guess. Wife+2 kids+babysitting my niece=Home for New Years. Yall have a happy one.

Kobalt is decent USA made stuff. On par with Craftsman Professional (it is actually rebadged Allen/Danaher). Buy these things up while they are still made in the USA!

BTW: only Kobalt sockets, ratchets and wrenches are USA made anymore. If you're looking for pliers, skip the Kobalt and go right to Channellock.
