Don't you ever get tired of throwing in those extra denigrations into your post, sydney? If it's such a no-brainer, then why bother using yours for the task of insulting a person?

One tool is going to cost a lot less than a new socket set with a longer wrench handle. Besides, since I don't own an automobile or many other mechanical devices that use them, I really don't have much use for an entire socket wrench set.

Juicemouse, in answer to your post--what exactly am I going to use a piece of pipe for in the future? A tool can be put in my tidy little toolbox and tucked away. A piece of pipe is just going to slide about. Besides that, the handle on this particular socket set is about 5 inches long, and narrow. It's my friend's. I don't even know if it is long enough for the pipe to work.

Besides all of this, it seems to me that going and buying a piece of pipe and then carrying it home represents about as much work as just ordering the proper tool for the job.
