LOL, wish i actually went to Sears, but i bought it off Ebay along with some other tools and by the looks of it i got hosed.

I've also got a shallow'er 36mm socket so never used this one but i guess it's gonna be a keeper if they're under $10 new. I gotta learn to shop prices before buying sheet off ebay lol.

its likely, but shanghai's a mess. it's like taiwan or hongkong in the 80's. not very westernized, difficult to find specialty items, not many car enthusiasts, etc.... tough crowd in shanghai. they like their bikes and scooters.

either way, keep an ear out for me in march. thanks

yes they are.
i believe they are 2" diameter which is pretty standard for aftermarket *****.
in fact i think the Alta **** is also 2" dia. whereas the stocker is like 2.5-3" diameter.
