<p>I’m back with another fantastic DIY tip for you today.</p>
<p>If you’re anything like me I’ll bet you’ve come across a stripped nut or bolt or even stripped a few yourself. It doesn’t get much more frustrating than being stopped by a lousy nut or bolt.</p>
<p><img class="border" src="http://www.diyanswerguy.com/pix/newsletter/stripped-nut.jpg" alt="Stripped nut" width="134" height="134" /></p>
<p>But what’s even worse, you guessed it, banging up your knuckles too. Remember how that felt? Well I sure do.</p>
<p><img class="border aligncenter" src="http://www.diyanswerguy.com/pix/newsletter/bloody-knuckles.jpg" alt="Injured knuckles" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>It usually starts when you try to loosen a nut and ended up stripping it with a lousy or wrong size wrench. Or by trying to tighten a metric nut with a standard socket (or vise-versa).</p>
<p>Like me, you probably have a bunch of various size sockets <strong>and</strong> wrenches and a tool box or two to store them, and still <strong>never seem to have the right tool for the job</strong>.</p>
<p>Your collection may even look something like this.<br />
<img class="border full width" src="http://www.diyanswerguy.com/tools/old-sockets.jpg" alt="Old sockets" width="300" height="194" /><img class="border full width" src="http://www.diyanswerguy.com/tools/old-wrenches.jpg" alt="Old wrenches" width="300" height="169" /></p>
<p>You’ve probably noticed that there are many different sockets and wrenches sets to choose from; 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, standard, and metric sockets. Open end wrenches, box end wrenches, and ratchet type wrenches. SIx piece sets to 3000+ piece sets, and the list goes on and on. </p>
<p>With so many socket and wrench sets out there, you might ask yourself, “Why so many choices?” The answer is, <strong>they sell</strong>! Why? Because everyone is looking for the perfect tool set to suit their specific needs.</p>
<p>Believe me, there was a time when I had hundreds of sockets and wrenches, and three tool boxes to store them. Between their cost, the space they took up, the weight to transport them, and the time  it took to find the right tool… ARGG!! What a hassle.<br />
But I’m happy to say those days are over!</p>
<p>The solution is this 62 piece socket and wrench set, by Metrinch.  Believe me, this is going to be <strong>the last socket and wrench set you’ll probably ever buy</strong>. </p>
<p>For starters, both the sockets and wrenches <strong>grip the flat sides</strong> of the nuts and bolts instead of the corners, so <strong>no more stripped nuts</strong>! Second, since they do grip the flat sides, <strong>the sockets and wrenches fit both standard and metric nuts and bolts!</strong><br />
Now it only takes one set of tools to do the job!<br />

<p>Third, and best of all, <strong>they also work on damaged nuts and bolts</strong>!<br />
Check out this Metrinch video to see them in action.</p>

<p>This incredible 62-piece socket and wrench set does it all, and comes in it’s own custom case for convenient transport and storage. And if that not enough they come with a <strong>Lifetime International replacement warranty.</strong>.</p>

<p>Once I tried these sockets and wrenches, I sold my three tool boxes full of sockets and wrenches, <strong>and</strong> made enough money to buy a Metrinch set, and pocket a few bucks. Now that’s a deal!<br />
I’ve owned my Metrinch set now for about 15 years and they’re still as good as new. Believe me, you’ll love these tools!</p>
<h4 id="toc-heres-what-you-get">Here’s what you get</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>No slipping</strong> means better safety and no more banged up knuckles.</li>
<li>Fewer tools means <strong>less space</strong> and a lighter tool box.</li>
<li><strong>Less tools</strong> makes it a easier to find the tool you need.</li>
<li><strong>Save money</strong> by not having to buy two sets of tools or pay ER bills.</li>
<li><strong>Works on metric, standard and damaged fasteners.</strong></li>
<li>Includes a cool little <strong>two finger ratchet</strong> for those small hard to reach jobs.</li>
<li>Metrinch offers <strong>different size sets</strong> for the home owner to the professional.</li>
<li>And if that’s not enough, they have a <strong>Lifetime International Replacement Warranty.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This is definitely the last combination tool set you’ll probably ever buy, and for the price, you can’t go wrong.<br />
Also, if you’re looking for a great gift for your special DIY’er, this will surely do the trick.<br />
