    So it was either wait for everybody to finish the Sunday matinee of Wicked so someone can move their car and I could slip in to jump it from mine…or buy a battery and get tools and replace it there in the parking lot.

    If you had your new battery and your jumper cables, there would be no reason to buy the tools. You put your new battery on the ground and jump you car from it. Your car will run on the power from the alternator with a completely dead battery. Without turning off the now running car, disconnect the jumper cables and drive the car home where your tools are.

      Don’t tell my wife that. And honestly I knew that. I just wanted an excuse to buy a matching socket set.

      My last one was a “task force” mechanic set that my parents got me nearly over 20 years ago when I got my license.
