They are really cool people, they will sell you a roll of Glad Wrap for $68.67

Or a picnic sized, Camp Chef Propane Outdoor Portable Campfire for $2,656.51

Looks like it is lowlifes fishing, trying to catch suckers.

I think I am going to pick up the Wright Tool 145MM 1-1/2-Inch Drive 6 point Standard Metric Impact Socket, it's a steal at $2362.44

Who in the heck would pay these prices? Someone would need to be totally naive or stupid. You can buy all of those products at many other retailers for much less.

That impact socket is 5.7 inches, weighs almost 60 lbs, and is probably used on steel beams. That ain't a home socket wrench socket.

1 1/2 inch is the drive size, I did not catch that first time around . biggrin
It is for a bolt with a 14.5 cm (5.7 inch) head.
Socket weights 36.7 lbs according to Amazon.
Amazon sells it for CDN$ 1,823.89
The bolts used on the steel frame construction of the auto factory I worked at, did not have bolt heads that big.
Maybe some of the stamping machines that stamped the steel panels did.

Yes, a $1 a pound is normal price.
Prices are even higher on Amazon. It's not just Walmart.
I'm assuming its because of a shortage. Yes, a $1 a pound is normal price.


Depends no rubber yes. If there is some rubber on the ends then expect it to be $1.50 to $2 USD
