    Maybe someone knows. Asking is easier than running all over town. A budget priced set wold probably do, though I'll look at medium grade sets..

    metric tap and die?

    did you check with uymatio? i've only been here since 1 abril and still stumbling around but they seem to have a better selection of tradesman stuff than do-it in da mall or citi hwd tho they all have their good points. i'm hoping there's another hardware store or two (maybe even 3 or more : ) that i haven't found yet.

    please lettuce us in on what you find.
    norm : ))~

    I think there's more than one hdwr store on Cervantes St. There's also one across from Holy Child entrance on that side street down across from the sunglass vendors

    At times I have seen cheap sets (as in really cheap) at Unitop. For medium quality (sold as high quality of course) I would canvas in the following order; Uymatiao, Rejoice, Citi, DAPCI.

    Good call, Jack. Handyman doesn't always exist yet in my mind.

    Unitop didn't have any, but both Handyman and Citi Hdwr had them for basically the same price = p2199 or so.

    I am having a hard time 3/8 drive extensions. All I am finding is 1/2 drive, though there are 3/8 drive sockets around of course.

    I have a 3/8 short extension, I was just looking for a longer one. I can try LP I guess.

    Don't need one in a hurry :D
