The various sockets that come with branded tools like socket wrenches usually have their precise measurements printed on the side. This is helpful for making quick selections and keeping them organized, but unfortunately, these labels have an annoying tendency to fade over time.

Depending on how your truck's tonneau cover is designed, there may not be an avenue for the water that accumulates on its surface to safely slide away.

If you've ever set foot in a Costco warehouse, it can feel like a microcosm of just about everything you could conceivably buy in bulk. Much like shopping at Walmart or Target, you can find pretty much anything you'd need for your daily life at Costco, whether in person or online, provided you have a membership. Of course, daily life necessities and major electronic purchases aren't quite the same thing.
