Yep, interesting story. Both own some Aldis, albeit the Aldis owned in America are (were) by one brother, and the Trader Joes by the other.

Has its shortcomings, but otherwise looks pretty decent...especially for the price!

Thanks for the heads up, been looking for something like this to toss in all the saddle bags, as I just have a nice hex key set that gets moved around right now. Not sure if I prefer the $4 ones in the related items section, though, that have the chain break tool over the sockets.
