Many assorted tools are often available for mere pennies on da dollar at yard sales and online marketplace sites, and so da "deep sockets = deep POCKETS" assumption is not necessarily true each and every time... before you start feeling envious of someone's exTENsive --- and therefore seemingly exPENsive --- array of lengthy
tubular six-and-twelve-pointers, look them over carefully to see wheter they are either particularly new-looking or
even all of da same brand. If not, then realize
dat these collections may merely be da "
cream of da crop" from random groupings of tools in jumbled chests and toolboxes dat their present owner had obtained on da
cheap from here and there, and then had merely sifted out da best specimens and carefully arranged them into those neatly-sorted sets.
