Default Sears...

Sears actually sell two different kinds:
O Ratchet (in metric, standard, or both)
Gear Wrench - metric/standard 72 piece set with extensions, adaptors, etc.

The O Ratchet w/metric and stardard sockets was $50, and the Gear Wrench kit was $50 as well, but packaged nicer...so that's what I went with.

I looked around for something cheaper, but couldn't find anything similar in Lowe's or Home Depot, so I gave up and shelled out at Sears. No regrets...this socket set helps me get into tight spaces, especially when there is no room for a deep socket.

Default I meant

you can do the rear without a spring compressor if you're talented enough.

Yup, me too. The best and the safest IMO.
