[DeTomaso] Socket Organizer Recommendations

[Jerry Knotts]

In the '70s I was a manufacturing systems analyst for Dresser 
Industries.  We owned SK Tools in Chicago.  I once made the suggestion 
that their sizing identifiers on the sockets should be larger and more 
legible.  Their product manager said sizing on sockets was for amateurs, 
that real mechanics could reach into their box and get the correct size 
every time.  I didn't pursue the matter.

I still fumble around and look for a light and keep to full boxes, one 
for SAE and specialty tools and one for metrics.
