Am I a Real Tool Guy Yet?

More Crap

My impact sockets arrived today. So I have ammunition for a dumbass tool-newbie remark. Here goes.

Wow, these are heavy.

I had no idea a socket for a half-inch drive could weigh this much. Although I guess the biggest one is around two inches, so I should have guessed. Now, will the compressor turn them?

I don't know. The wrench isn't here yet.

I probably could have gotten by with my regular half-inch sockets, since I'll probably never come up against anything that requires real torque. But the prospect of being showered with sharp socket fragments does not entice me.

Here's a question. Say you have a seven-foot-long concrete wall, about three and a half feet high. Between two buildings. Not supporting anything. And you want to either A) cut a three-foot gate into it, all the way to the ground, or B) cut a 4"-square hole in it, right at ground level. How would you do that?

I assume it's full of rebar. Could be cinderblock covered with stucco, but I don't know.
